_bdiscovering divers errours in land measuring; and shewing how to measure all manner of ground, and to plot it, and to shut it, and to prove the shutting, by the chain onely; as quickly, exactly, and with less help then with any instrument whatsoever: as also to take distances of a mile-space by the chain without measuring of them, and the situation of any building. Teaching likewise the making and use of a new and general instrument, called a pandoron; which, as exactly and with less charge, supplies the use of the plain-table, theodelete, quadrant, quadrat, circumferentor, and any other observing instrument. To this is added a discovery of divers secrets touching conveying and cleansing of water, flowing and drayning of grounds, quenching houses on fire, &c. With an appendix unfolding errours in board and timber-measure with directions for making a carpenters-ruler. By George Atvvell, aliàs Wells, now teacher of the mathematicks in Cambridge
