Practical Surveying, originally published in 1901, serves as a comprehensive text-book for students and professionals engaged in surveying, particularly those preparing for examinations or undertaking survey work in colonial settings. Written by George William Usill, this book offers a detailed and practical approach to the principles and methods of surveying.

Covering a wide range of topics essential for effective surveying practice, including the use of surveying instruments, the calculation of areas and volumes, and the creation of accurate maps and plans. With clear explanations and numerous illustrative examples, "Practical Surveying" provides a solid foundation for understanding surveying techniques relevant to both historical context and enduring principles, making it a valuable resource for those interested in the history and practice of surveying.
