PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION.

IN carrying out the many duties devolving upon a Borough Surveyor, it has so often been my wish to turn to a practical book of reference upon the many subjects connected with these duties, that I have written the following pages; and I trust that they will form a useful Handbook.

H. PERCY BOULNOIS.
