| Authorship Notes |
A short summary of directions by which travellers 'may make their labours useful to geography', drawn up by a sub-committee of the Royal Geographical Society. The first section focuses on advice on instruments and techniques for astronomy and mapping. It also contains papers drawn from Rear Admiral W. H. Smyth, Rear Admiral F. W. Beechey, Lieu. col. W. H. Sykes, and Francis Galton. It ends with a series of heads for taking notes on foreign lands drawn from Julian Jackson's 'What to Observe' (1841), described elsewhere in this database. |
