FOrasmuch as the whole Art of Surveying of
Land is performed by Instruments of seve∣rall kindes, and
that the exact and carefull making and dividing of all such
Instruments is chiefely to be aimed at, I thought good to intimate
to such as are de∣sirous to practise this Art, and do not readily know
where to be furnished with necessary Instruments for the
performance thereof, that all, or any of the Instruments used or mentioned
in this Book, or any Mathematicall Instrument whatsoever
is exactly made by Mr. Anthony Thompson in Hosier lane
neer Smithfield, London.
