Surveying Theory and Practice Book by Francis Seeley Foote and Raymond Earl Davis

In the fourth edition, the distinguishing qualities of logical arrangement and thoroughness have been maintained in order that the text will be useful not only for teaching but also as a reference for practicing engineers and sur- veyors. Both the how (the practice) and the u’hy (the theory) are given. The text has been critically reviewed in detail, and many sections have been entirely rewritten. Many of the illustrations have been redrawn, and new drawings aud photographs have been added. The numerical problems have been reexamined, many revised, and new ones added. References to more detailed publications have been brought up to date.
