Excerpt from A Manual of Land Surveying: Comprising an Elementary Course of Practice With Instruments and a Treatise Upon the Survey of Public and Private Lands, Prepared for Use of Schools and Surveyors This addition to the already numerous treatises on land surveying was caused by the demand of the surveyors of Michigan for a treatise which would deal with the practical questions which meet the surveyor in his every day work in the field. Several admirable treatises were already in existence which dealt amply with the mathematical and instrumental part of surveying. But the perplexing questions which meet the surveyor are not questions of mathematical calculation or of the use of instruments. On the contrary they are, for the most part, questions of how to apply the principles of common law and statutory enactment to the location of boundary lines. These are the controlling considerations in all resurveys; a class which comprises probably nine-tenths of all the land surveys which are made. Scarcely an allusion to these principles was to be found in any of the works on surveying extant. In 1880 the Michigan Association of Surveyors and Civil Engineers appointed a committee on manual, to prepare a work which would give authoritative answers to the many questions of practice which came up before them. The committee spent their spare time for five years in an exhaustive research of the laws and the decisions of the highest courts in the land. The chairman attended the meetings of various surveyors' associations and collected their reports. From the great mass of material thus collected, the leading points in the laws of the United States and the decisions of the courts of last resort were selected, covering, as nearly as possible, all the points relative to surveys and boundary lines which arise in the land surveyors' practice.
