Synopsis
Excerpt from An Introduction to the Survey of Western Palestine: Its Waterways, Plains,& Highlands
To appreciate the use and value of the New Survey, it is necessary to examine it in some detail, .and to bring it into comparison with the information that existed previously. Passing over the methods by which a survey is accurately made, it is enough at present to observe that the foundation of a geographical map is its Outline, consisting chiefly of the delineation of its Waterways. A distinct acquaintance with this branch of the subject is a fundamental element of geographical knowledge.
