Excerpt from Tables of Bearings, Distances, Latitudes, Longitudes, &C. Ascertained by the Astronomical and Trigonometrical Survey of Massachusetts: Published Agreeably to a Resolve of the General Court
The survey of the State of Massachusetts, on which the map lately published is founded, was begun under an Act of the Legislature, passed in 1831. It was divided into four sections, Geological, Astronomical, Trigonometrical, and Topographical the last three properly forming parts of one great work, whose ultimate object was to furnish data for a complete and thorough map of the State.
The Tables here given form a part of the data obtained by the Trigonometrical Survey, conducted by Simeon Borden, Esq., combined with the separate astronomical observations made by R. T. Paine, Esq.
