Robert Gibson, New York: William A. Davis & Co., 1798, First New York edition from the Eighth English edition, 5" x 8 1/4", vii, 452pp, 13 fold-out copper plate engravings. Original leather well worn, rubbed and chipped at spine head, worn at corners, scattered light foxing. Good to Very Good condition. There are several 19th century American editions of this book, primarily from 1803 to the 1830's, but 18th century American editions are scarce. "The first New-York edition of Mr. Gibson's Treatise of Practical Surveying is, in some particulars, different from the copy published by the Author. Alterations have been made, adapting it to our country. Some articles of little or no importance have been entirely omitted; and others of more utility introduced; amongst which are a complete set of tables of latitude and departure to the distance of 100, and to every 15 minutes of the quadrant; a table of logarithms from 1 to 10,000; and a table of artificial sines, tangents, and secants; also an example of calculating the contents of a survey, according to the method commonly practised in the surveyor general's office of Philadelphia" - Publishers Advertisement.
