tion, whether the purposes which a national survey ought to 

 subserve would be more fully provided for by an increased 

 scale ; and how far such increased scale would involve in- 

 creased expense. 



" The Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury re- 

 quest that after having attentively read these papers, you 

 will state, in the annexed form, what scales you would re- 

 commend for any national surveys which may henceforward 

 be carried on at the public expense ; and that you will add 

 any special observations you may have to make in support of 

 your opinions. 



" It is assumed that the results of the Ordnance Survey will, 

 under any circumstances, be separately published on the re- 

 duced scale of one inch to the mile ; and the question upon 

 which an opinion is solicited is merely between the scale of 

 six inches and any larger scale. 



(Signed) C. E. Trevelyan."
