A Practical Course of Military Surveying: Including the Principles of Topographical Drawing is a book written by Auguste Frederic Lendy in 1869. The book is a comprehensive guide to military surveying, providing a detailed explanation of the principles and techniques involved in conducting accurate surveys of terrain. It covers a wide range of topics, including the use of instruments such as the theodolite and the sextant, methods for measuring distances and angles, and the principles of triangulation and leveling. The book also includes detailed instructions on how to create topographical maps, with a focus on the use of contour lines to represent the shape of the land. The author, Lendy, was a French military officer with extensive experience in surveying and mapping, and his expertise is evident throughout the book.
