 such problems as have been found to be especially difficult for the inexperienced woodsman are consid- 

 ered. Technical terms have been avoided as far as possible, and all unusual trade or professional terms

"Plane Surveying," of which 29,000 copies have been sold, has now 

 been combined with its companion volume, "Exercises in Surveying," for 

 those who prefer it in that form. Although written primarily as text- 

 books, these works have proved themselves of inestimable value to the 

 practicing surveyor in the field as well, especially to those who are striv- 

 ing in the early years of practice to perfect themselves in the art of sur- 

 veying. Field work and office work are treated in separate parts of each 

 book, but the important relations between the two are emphasized 

 throughout
