A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The geography of the surface of the earth, defining the boundaries of the land, the extent of the oceans and seas, and the discovery of the sources of rivers, has always excited an interest in the more intelligent of mankind. It is but natural that beings endowed with the attributes of man should seek for knowledge of their environments, and that, as the master-minds become more highly cultivated, this knowledge will be sought with greater intensity. Volumes have been written on the earlier theories of the earth's surface, and there are libraries of works on the explorations and discoveries that have been made. They evidence the progress of geography; but it is not within my province to discuss them, as they are but the preliminaries, the beginning, of which topographic surveys may be said to be the consummation.
