The  various orders of architecture, laid down and improved from  the best masters; with the ways of making draughts of  buildings, gardens, groves, fountains, &c. the laying  down of maps, cities, lordships, farms, &c. III. The  doctrine and rules of mensuration of all kinds, illustrated  by select examples in building, gardening, timber, &c.  IV. Exact tables of mensuration, shewing, by inspection,  the superficial and solid contents of all kinds of bodies,  without the fatigue of arithmetical computation: to which  is annexed, an account of the clandestine practice now  generally obtaining in mensuration, and particularly the  damage sustained in selling timber by measure.
