Through any given point C to form a line parallel to another given inaccessible line A B. First mark a point D at pleasure, and find another point E in the line A D, which shall be on the continued line of C B; next make E G parallel to B D, and G C F parallel A D, meeting B D in F: set a staff at H, on the mutual intersection of the lines E G and A F: then the line formed through H and C, as IH C K, will be parallel to AB. OF MEASURING LANDS WITH THE CHAIN ONLY, AND PLANNING THEREFROM. 17. IN lands that are bounded by straight lines which are formed by hedgerows, trees, and drains, the practise is under such circumstances to measure the respective lengths of the sides by some of the preceding methods (10, &c.); but where these are free of obstacles, each part may be measured directly upon itself. 18. The Planning or Protracting of Figures from actual measurement requires the use of several drawing instruments, as compasses, drawing pen, parallel rulers and scales, each of which we shall describe severally, without supposing the use which may have been already made of these in the Practical Geometry. The compasses, (Fig. A.) are usually made of silver or brass, having the joints and points of steel; the joint at the top is a steel axle, upon which both the legs turn, and is provided with a turn-screw for lessening or increasing the friction of this part. The motion of the legs upon the axle should be uniform and smooth, so as to keep steadily any position given to them, without springing or starting back, and the whole well polished, wh...
