Excerpt from A Treatise on a Box of Instruments and the Slide-Rule: For the Use of Gaugers, Engineers, Seamen, and Students

Several problems have been prefixed, requiring only the compasses and ruler, which, together with those that follow, embrace all that are truly useful, and preclude the necessity of referring to other works on Practical Geometry.
