%X Sa£¿etak In this paper, the first method of adjustment, proposed by Josip Ru£¿er Bo£¿kovi£¿, is described in detail, on the example on five meridian degrees. Bo£¿kovi£¿ sets three conditions on the data of the lengths of the meridian degrees to calculate corrections that would fix all degrees in order to get a better estimate of true values. The conditions that have to be satisfied are explained by geometric method which Bo£¿kovi£¿ described in all his studies. For the purpose of this paper, in the process of computing these five meridian degrees, data from Bo£¿kovi£¿ original book have been used. Geometric solution, described by Bo£¿kovi£¿ himself, is not easy to understandat first, as this is noted by other authors who have studied Bo£¿kovi£¿¡¯s method as well. Hence, geometric description of the Bo£¿kovi£¿¡¯s method is shown in analytical form as well
