Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Hand-Book for Mapping, Engineering, and Architectural Drawing: In Which Maps of All Descriptions Are Analyzed, and Their Several Uses Fully Explained; Intended for the Use of Civil Engineers, Architects, and Surveyors; Also for Naval and Military Academies, Engineering Schools and Colleges, and Draughtsmen
Lithographic and zincographic draughtsmen are rarely competent to execute an entire map or drawing with any degree of excellence; it seems to be peculiarly advantageous to the employers of this class of draughtsmen, to keep each to a separate branch, as already described. Engravers are divided into different classes, viz., writing engravels, outline engravers, ornamental engravers, &c.
