"We have already commented on the pains which appear to have been taken to work up the maps to the latest dates; we may add that they are excellent specimens of engraving and colouring, that the great difficulty of marking mountain ranges, etc., without obscuring the names, has been excellently surmounted, and that we have detected very few misprints. As what may be called a medium atlas for general use, something between the cheap but meagre school collections and the elaborate but rather costly and unwieldy library atlases, the 'London Atlas' deserves hearty recommendation.”—Saturday Review.

"In respect of size and price, it occupies a place about midway between the best school atlases hitherto published and the most costly and elaborate works of cartography: but, as regards beauty and clearness of engraving and colouring, accuracy of detail, and recognition of the latest results of geographical research, it will stand comparison with any of the latter. It contains in all forty-four maps, and has been planned with a special view of representing the geographical features of those parts of the world which are most nearly connected with British interests. At the end of the Atlas there is a comprehensive index, containing more than 19,000 names of towns, villages, mountains, capes, islands, rivers, and other features shown on the maps. Altogether the Atlas is admirably designed for use, either as a work of reference or by the advanced student of geography." -Scotsman.

A PHYSICAL, HISTORICAL, POLITICAL, AND
DESCRIPTIVE GEOGRAPHY.

Second Edition. Large post 8vo, cloth, with Illustrations and
21 Maps, 125.; Calf, 18s.

"Mr. Johnston, while avoiding the minute and often tedious details to be found in most school books of geography, has produced a work in some respects more complete than any other of the kind with which we are acquainted. He has aimed at giving the general results of the latest and best research in the great departments of geography; and, amid the ever-increasing host of competitors, his text-book deserves to take a high place. The work is copiously illustrated with maps; those relating to historical geography are gems, picturing as they do the gradual rolling back of the gray cloud of ignorance from B.C. 450 down to the latest Arctic expedition. Altogether the work is a clear, simple, and accurate exposition of the main facts and principles in the various departments of geography, not only useful as a text-book for colleges and the higher schools, or as a handy reference-book, but to a large extent very interesting reading."-Times.

A

"Mr. Keith Johnston's text-book of geography is a work of much thought, wide research, and no inconsiderable literary skill. It contains a vast amount of information on the physical features of the countries of the world, their climate and productions, commerce and industry, political institutions, administrative divisions, and leading towns. set of maps, coloured so as to distinguish forest regions, agricultural lands, steppes, and deserts, forms a welcome addition to this judiciously planned and carefully written textbook."-Athenæum.

"No better introduction to the principles of geology could possibly be recommended to the English reader. It is a work of the highest value, and one worthy to take a foremost place among popular manuals of science."-Nature.

"A very complete summary of the physical features of the island.

to no more useful and trustworthy guide than the excellent little manual which Mr. Hull has here given to the public."-Saturday Review.

STANFORD'S NEW SERIES OF LIBRARY MAPS OF THE GREAT DIVISIONS OF THE GLOBE.

CONSTRUCTED BY

ALEX. KEITH JOHNSTON, LL.D., F.R.S.E., ETC.

Engraved in the Finest Style, on Copper Plates.

Price of each, Coloured and Mounted on Linen, in Morocco Case, £3 : 13:6; on Roller, Varnished, £3; on Spring Roller, £6.

EUROPE. Scale, 50 miles to an inch; size, 65 inches by 58.

This new Map of Europe shows the Boundaries of all the Independent States, even the smallest, and also the subdivisions of the larger Continental States. The Railways are accurately and distinctly delineated, and the Lines of Submarine Telegraphs inserted. The Southern Shores of the Mediterranean are included, so that the Overland Route, as far as Suez, the Egyptian Railway, etc., may be distinctly traced.

ASIA. Scale, 110 miles to an inch; size, 65 inches by 58.

This new and original work exhibits the Empires and other States of the Oriental world with a stricter regard to their actual boundaries and divisions than any other publication has yet attempted. Although the size of the Map extends to the limits of convenience, its scale of 110 miles to an inch serves to show how inadequate a small Map must be for the representation of so large an area.

AFRICA. Scale, 94 miles to an inch; size, 58 inches by 65.

The whole range of Soudan, from the Atlantic to the Red Sea, has been remodelled from the labours of the French in Senegal,-of Barth, Baikie, and others on the Niger, -and of Von Heuglin, Petherick, Speke, and Baker, etc., in the Upper Basin of the Nile. South of the Equator vast spaces have been filled up by Livingstone, Burton, Speke and Grant, Du Chaillu, and Andersson, while great improvements have been made by the Surveys of the Colonial Governments. Gordon's, Cameron's, and Stanley's recent exploratory surveys are all included in the present edition.

NORTH AMERICA. Scale, 83 miles to an inch; size, 58 inches by 65.

The important events and various questions affecting the entire area of the North American Continent constantly give occasion for reference to Maps, and one which was comprehensive enough to include all the geographical incidents of the subject, and at the same time large enough to embody essential details, was a great desideratum. To provide for this want, the publication of this Map was undertaken, and it will be found in all respects a work of the highest class.

SOUTH AMERICA. Scale, 83 miles to an inch; size, 58 inches by 65. This new Map will be found to be far in advance of any previous publication. Hydrographical Surveys, Scientific Expeditions, and the exploration of private individuals, are the sources from which it has been constructed.

AUSTRALASIA. Scale, 64 miles to an inch; size, 65 inches by 58.

This Map delineates the Colonies of New South Wales, Victoria, or Port Philip, South Australia, Queensland, and Western Australia, divided into Counties; as well as all the Discoveries towards the Interior, including those of Burke, Wills, Stuart, Giles, Forrest, Gosse, Warburton, and others.
