Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Manual of Topographical Drawing
With regard to the explanatory figures, the greater part of them are auto graphic, and, of course, inferior in point of execution to the fine engravings that usually accompany such works as this. The author would plead that they are intended rather as illustrations of methods than specimens of style; and that the student is more familiarly and intelligibly addressed by means of the pen and ink, than by the unapproachable perfection of copper-plate.
