Lectures, 30} Execution of work, 565} 595. VII. PROGRAMME OF THE COURSE OF GEODESY AND DIALLING. This course is divided into two parts--the one part special for the engineers, and the other common to the artillery and engineers. The first comprises:-- 1st. The study of the execution of a triangulation of some extent, and of its connection with the general triangulation of France, executed under the superintendence of the Dépôt de la Guerre, and 2d. Leveling with the barometer. The second contains:-- 1st. The study of reflecting instruments. 2d. The principles of dialling. Each of these parts comprehend:-- 1st. Lectures given in the amphitheatre. 2d. Practical lectures or exercises. 3d. An application. FIRST PART.--SPECIAL FOR ENGINEERS. 1st Section--Lectures. These Lectures include:-- 1st. A description of the principal geodesical instruments. 2d. The establishment of the triangulation. 3d. The survey and the calculations connected with it. 4th. The orientation of the triangulation. 5th. The calculation of the co-ordinates of the points and their construction from the minutes of the survey. 6th. The geodesical and barometrical leveling.
