 hf cl. {scarce), 12s Qd 1878 



a valuable historical account from Major Rennell's to Col. Strange's and that completed by Col. Thuillier in 1877. 

 There are chapters on meteorological, astronomical, and tidal observations, and on the Geological and Archaeological Sur- 

 vey of India. ' The great Surveyors must combine the knowledge and habits of thought of a Cambridge wrangler with the 

 energy, resource, and presence of mind of an explorer or a backwoodsman, and add to this the gallantry and devotion of 

 the leader of a forlorn hope. The story of the Great Trigonometrical Survey, when fitly told, will form one of the proudest 

 pages in the history of English domination in the East'. — p. 146.
