The mathematical figure of the Earth is that which it would have were its surface covered entirely by water in a state of rest; and it is this assumed form to which all geodesical measurements of degrees refer.    From Wordnik.com.  [COSMOS: A Sketch of the Physical Description of the Universe, Vol. 1] Reference

M. Biot quitted me afterwards to return to Paris, whilst I made the geodesical junction of the island of M.jorca to Iviza, and to Formentera, obtaining thus, by means of one single triangle, the measure of an arc of parallel of one degree and a half.    From Wordnik.com.  [Biographies of Distinguished Scientific Men]

Thus the uniformity of figure observed in the distribution of continental masses, which all terminate toward the south in a pyramidal form, and expand toward the north (a law that determines the nature of climates, the direction of currents in the ocean and the atmosphere, and the transition of certain types of tropical vegetation toward the southern temperate zone), may be clearly apprehended without any knowledge of the geodesical and astronomical operations by means of which these pyramidal forms of continents have been determined.    From Wordnik.com.  [COSMOS: A Sketch of the Physical Description of the Universe, Vol. 1] Reference

This work, to which are added historical researches on the position of several points important to navigators, contains, first, the original observations which I made from the twelfth degree of southern to the forty-first degree of northern latitude; the transits of the sun and stars over the meridian; distances of the moon from the sun and the stars; occultations of the satellites; eclipses of the sun and moon; transits of Mercury over the disc of the sun; azimuths; circum-meridian altitudes of the moon, to determine the longitude by the differences of declination; researches on the relative intensity of the light of the austral stars; geodesical measures, etc.    From Wordnik.com.  [Personal Narrative of Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America, During the Year 1799-1804 — Volume 1] Reference
