Excerpt from United States Coast and Geodetic Survey: Description of Its Work, Methods, and Organization Leaflets descriptive of the work of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey were first published for distribution at the World's Columbian Exposition at Chicago, Ill., in 1893, and they have been revised, republished, and distributed at subsequent expositions in the United States. This information, brought up to date, was issued in pamphlet form for distribution at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, Seattle, Wash., 1909. It has again been revised and brought up to date. It will he seen on inspection that this pamphlet is intended to present concise statements relating to the origin of the Survey, to the general plan of its operations, to the methods and processes whereby the work is carried on, and to some of the more important results reached in its progress.
