THE 



mclifs diameter, ^adiiatod to half a degree, and numbered 

 from 1 to 36o'',tocorrofpoiid with my tlieodolite, with a ver- 

 nier to mark off the angles to one minute of a degree, and 

 a projefting pointer of two inches and a half beyond the 

 outer radius of it, wtiich in general furveying will be found, 

 with care, to be fufficiently correft. This I had alfo from 

 Mr. Gary of the Strand, together with the fet of ivory 

 plotting-fcales, of about twelve inches long, decimally divided 

 the whole length clofe by the edges, which are chamfered, 

 to lay clofe to the paper, and give additional facility in 

 pricking off thechain-hnes, numbered l, 2, 3, 4, &c. which 

 are chams : thefe again are fubdivided into tenths, every 

 one of which divifions are reckoned 10 links. The numbers 

 are fo placed as to reckon backwards asd forwards for con- 

 venience ; but the method of ufmg them is now fo univer- 

 fally known, and fo eafily underftood, as to preclude the 

 neceflity of any further defcription. I fhall, therefore, 

 proceed directly to (late the method ufed by me of trans- 

 ferring the dimenfions of the eftate from the field-book, 

 which is as foUovi-s ; I'/z. 



" Having provided myfelf with a flieet of drawing-paper 

 of fufficient lize, I proceed to draw a line acrofs the fame 

 in pencHI, which line is Hominally reprefentative of the 

 magnetic meridian, or that which the needle in the compafs 

 box points to. On a convenient fituation on this line, with 

 a fine pointer, I make a mark thus ©, v.nd calling that 

 (ftation) ©1,1 lay the protractor with its centre upon the 

 liation-point, and take care that 360° of the protra&or 

 cuts the line oa the northern fide, and 180° the fouthern 

 fide of the meridional line : I then turn the moveable 

 pointer to the left, until the centre of the vernier thereof 

 cuts 330° 2' on the limb of the protraftor, when I prefs 

 down the pointer fuflSciently hard to make a vifible mark ; 

 then taking off the protraftor, I draw a fine line with a 

 pencil from i to the point fo pricked off ; and afterwards, 

 with a fcale of chains, mark off the length of the firft cha.in- 

 line, -viz. 1180 links: I alfo mark off 950 links for 3, 

 where a mark was left to join to. This done, I draw a line 

 parallel to the firft magnetic meridional line through 2 ; 

 when I put the protraftor upon the fame, taking care that 

 the centre is exaftly upon 2, and that 360" and 180° 

 exaftly cut the meridional hne north and fouth refpeftively ; 

 which being done, I move the pointer to the left ; and when 

 I find the vernier cuts 235° 7' on the limb, I again prefs 

 down the pointer, and make a fufficient imprelTion on the 

 paper, to which I draw a line from © 2 : then taking 

 the fcale, I prick off the length of the chain-hne from •, 2 

 to 4, being 1274 finks, and alfo 994 links on the fame 

 line from ^ 2 to a mark left there, and called in the field- 

 book 5. I proceed in this manner until the whole of the 

 bearings and chain-lines are laid down, the laft of which, or 

 the connecting-line, viz. from 10 to i, on beino- 

 laid down, and the protraftor having pricked off the 

 angle 62° 41' N.E., I draw the pencil-line, and finding 

 that it clofes upon O I, both as to bearing and diftance, I 

 am fatisfied the whole is correft. 



" In laying down the angles and chain-fines of the fur- 

 vey taken by the latter method, without the ufe of the 

 needle, little need be faid ; for, having firft drawn the mag- 

 netic meridian line, marked N. S., a mark is made on fome 

 convenient part thereof for i ; then laving the centre of 

 the protraftor thereon, and 360° and 1 80° thereof cutting 

 the meridian line north and fouth refpeftively, I prick off 

 29° 58' on the left-hand, or north-weft fide,' as being the 

 relative bearing of © 2 from © 1 ; then dra\ving a fine fine, 

 I mark off the length of the chain-line, and lay the centre 

 of the protraftor upon © 2, and mark off the /. between 

 O I, which I firft look back to, and O 4, the angle of 



T H E 



whidi, on dedufting the quantity of one from that of \hc 

 other, I find to be 85° 14' : this I prick off, and drawing 

 a line thereto, I mark off the length of the chain-line 1274 

 links, and fo continue to proceed until the boundary is 

 fiiiifhed. I then proceed to mark off the offsets at their 

 proper points in each chain-fine, and connefting the points 

 of uich offsets, I have the boundary defined of its true 

 (liape and dimenfions, as feen iii the map. Laftly, I caft 

 up the dimenfions of the feveral triangles and offsets, coo- 

 fidered as fmall trapezia, the method of doing which has 

 been explained under the word Chain, and find the con- 

 tents as expreffed in the fubjoined table.

THEODORE I. pope, in Biography, was the fon of a 

 biftiop of the fame name, and born at Jerufalem. He fuc- 

 ceeded John IV. in the papal chair in the year 642. Of 

 this pope no material circumftance occurs, except his contro- 

 verfy with the church at Conftantinople, concerning the 

 doftrine of the MonotheUtes ; and this controverfy is fo 

 fittle interefting to our readers, that we ftiall pafs it over 

 without any farther notice. Theodore died in the year 649. 

 Befides fome letters relating to the above-mentioned contro- 

 verfy, a memorial againft Pyrrhus, the depofed patriarch of 

 Conftantinople, and his errors, addreffed to the Eaftern 

 biftiops, is preferved. Bower. 



Theodore II. pope, a native of Rome, fucceeded Ro- 

 manus about the clofe of the year 898. During his pof- 

 feflion of the fee, which he held only for twenty days, he 

 caufed the body of his predeceffor Stephen to be taken out 

 of the Tyber, and interred in the Vatican, and declared all 

 his afts to be legal and vafid. Bower.

 fully defended Conftantinople againft the French and Vene.- 

 tians in the year i 204, he withdrew from the fcene of con- 

 teft acrofs the Bofphorus, and put himfelf at the head of a 

 body of troops ; but when he found that the confederates 

 were purfuing him, he fought refuge with the Turkifti ful- 

 tan of Iconium. Being joined by the inhabitants of Bithy- 

 nia, he took poffeflion of the country from the river Mean- 

 der to the Euxine fea, and fixed his refidence at Nice, where 

 he was crowned by the patriarch of Conftantinople. When 

 his father-in-law heard of his fuccefs, he went over from
