A52120	The country-survey-book: or Land-meters vade-mecum Wherein the principles and practical rules for surveying of land, are so plainly (though briefly) delivered, that any one of ordinary parts (understanding how to add, substract, multiply and divide,) may by the help of this small treatise alone and a few cheap instruments easy to be procured, measure a parcel of land, and with judgment and expedition plot it, and give up the content thereof. With an appendix, containing twelve problems touching compound interest and annuities; and a method to contract the work of fellowship and alligation alternate, very considerably in many cases. Illustrated with copper plates. By Adam Martindale, a friend to mathematical learning.	Martindale, Adam, 1623-1686.; Collins, John, 1625-1683.	1692 (1692)	Wing M854A; ESTC R217468	73,611	191

imply that the Figure I speak of is in that very Page and so it was in my Copy but the Printer and Gravers have otherwise contrived them for convenience in Copper Cuts by themselves And to give them their due they are generally done with great accuracy and none of them having any such error as is like to beget trouble or mistake to the Reader saving only that fig. 19 hath D instead of O at the Center and the Line OL in the Margin of Fig. 14. should be of the length from L to the uppermost o in the Scale and the Figures on the side should be made 1 less than they are viz. 2 should be 1 3 made 2 c. And lastly as to the Errata though I have not been so anxiously careful as to correct every literal mistake I have very diligently perused all from p. 1 to p. 224 inclusive and hope I have sufficiently restored the Sense to the places wronged when thou hast done them right by the Pen according to the Directions of the Errata following next after the contents and that you continue the Line in the Margin of p. 34. to the length of the Line OL in fig. 14.

Of Geometrical Definitions Divisions and Remarks I. A Point is that which hath no parts either of longitude or latitude but is indivisible ordinarily expressed with a small prick like a period at the end of a sentence II. A Line hath length but no bredth nor depth whose limits or extremities are Points This is either right or crooked III. A right Line lies straight and equal between its extreme points being the shortest extension between them the crocked or circular not so IV. A Superficies hath length and bredth but no depth of this Lines are the limits V. A plain Superficies is that which lieth equally or evenly between its Lines VI. An Angle is the Meeting or two Lines in one point so as not to make one straight Line and if drawn on past that point they will intersect or cross one another This is vulgar English may be called a Corner of which there be two sorts one right the other oblique VII A right Angle is that which is made by two right lines crossing or touching one another perpendicularly or squarely like an ordinary Cross or Carpenters Square VIII An oblique Angle is that which is either greater or less than a right Angle and this is of two sorts obtuse and acute IX An obtuse Angle is greater than a right Angle like the left and right Corners of a Roman X. X. An acute Angle is less than a right Angle like the highest and lowest Corners of the same Letter XI A Figure is that which is comprehended under one line or many Of this there are two kinds a Circle and a right-lined Figure XII A Circle is a perfect round Figure such as is drawn with a pair of Compasses the one Foot being turned round in a point and the other wheeled about it The point in the precise middle is called the Center the round line the Circumference or Peripheri a line going through the Center and divide the Circle into two equal parts is called the Diameter half of that line is a Somidiameter or Radius half the Circle is stiled a Semicircle the quarter a Quadrant any portion of it cut off by a right Line not touching the Center is called a Segment XIII Right-lined Figures are such as are limited by three
