Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Compass, Vol. 1: A Monthly Journal for Engineers, Surveyors, Architects, Draughtsmen, and Students; 1891-1892
WE issue this, the first number Of a new serial, venturing to believe that it will be found to fill a want. It will be our endeavour to give such information respecting the construction of Mathematical and Surveying Instruments, with the best modes of using them, new and improved methods of procedure, etc., as may both interest the Engineer, Surveyor, Draughtsman or Student, and be of practical value to him in the pursu ance of his profession. The theories and principles relating to the above will also be examined, whilst new inventions in the same and kindred branches, whether domestic or foreign, will receive that attention to which their merits may entitle them. N o pains or expense will be spared to make this serial a valuable and necessary companion both in the field and in the Office, and one which will be ever found to point to the true North of Progress and Advancement in those Arts and Sciences to whose study it is devoted.
