Hartford, CT: Belknap and Hamersley, 1844. 8vo. 160; 112 pp. Numerous woodcut engraved diagrams, figures. Contemporary full speckled calf, speckled fore-edges, tan & gilt morocco spine label (minor shelfwear, slight rubbing, occasional light foxing), still an excellent copy. Third edition, revised & expanded, of this popular American treatise on surveying published originally in 1804 would continue to be updated and revised for over half a century. An edition of Abel Flint’s work was one of the two consulted by Abraham Lincoln while he studied to become a surveyor, as it emphasized higher math, including logarithms, plane geometry, and trigonometry.
