Pub Note:
First edition, one volume in two parts. Part 1: year 1791-1794: iv, 179, [1] p., [4] folded maps, and views. Read before the Royal Society, June 25, 1795. Part 2: year 1795-1796: iv, 111 p. folded maps. Read before the Royal Society, May 11, 1797. Both parts bound in one volume covers with red full morocco, gilt edges and inner dentelles, spine with gilt tooled raised band with "Trigonometry Survey" stamped in gilt. First published annually in the Philosophical Transactions, by Captain William Mudge, F.R.S. and Mr. Isaac Dalby. ... Founded in 1791, these important works provide a contemporary account of the early years of the Ordnance Survey, focusing on the methodology of triangulation and the equipment used during those first enterprises. The works were subsequently revised with two additional parts added, all published under a slightly different title between 1799 and 1811. These earlier issues are particularly uncommon.
