16 METHOD OF 



Suppose a field to be in 

 shape of the figure annexed, the 

 length in the middle being 148 

 yards, the end A B 88 yards, 

 the end C D 94 yards, and the 

 straight line B D 154 yards; the 

 distance from the straight line to 

 the curve at B nothing, at E 18 

 yards, at F 13 yards, and at the 

 end D, nothing: then, for the 

 content of the square part the 

 length is 148 yards, and the two 

 ends when added together make 



182 yards, the half of which is t 



91 for the mean width. Again, C D 



for the curve, the length is 154 ; and the off-sets, by the 

 aforesaid rule, will stand thus
