Trigonometrical Survey.

CONCLUSION. 
The account contained in the foregoing pages is presented 
in its present form, agreeable to the resolution expressed in 
our last communication. It is there stated, or rather implied, 
that, as materials are collected, details will meet the public 
eye through the medium of the Philosophical Transactions. 
The publishing of these particulars at periods not very remote 
from each other, will prove convenient, as we shall be enabled 
to communicate many data, which would be necessarily with- 
held, were these disclosures less frequent. It is on this account, 
that the particulars in Part the First do not contain the lati- 
tudes and longitudes of the stations, and objects intersected, 
as sufficient data have not yet been obtained for making the 
computations in an unexceptionable manner: but the contents 
of the Second Part are more complete, that Survey having been 
carried on in a country sufficiently near the meridian of Green- 
wich to give the necessary arguments with precision. 
It is perhaps scarcely necessary to observe, that the design 
intended to be answered by an admission of the plans of the 
triangles annexed to this account, is to enable the reader to 
comprehend with ease the state of the operation, and to apply, 
without difficulty, the materials found in the body of the work 
to future Surveys. We have therefore, not attempted to deli- 
neate any varieties of ground in the plan of the western triangles 
(Tab. XI.) : and it may, in this place, be proper to mention,
