Abstract

AT the present time not a week passes which does not more and more enforce the necessity of everyone of us having an atlas of some sort or another to refer to, and, in fact, it may be said that in these days of rapid locomotion and intercommunication with every part of the planet, an atlas is the corner-stone of a library, even if that library otherwise consist merely of a Dictionary and a Blue Book, Imperial Calendar, or Post-office Directory.

The Complete Atlas of Modern, Classical, and Celestial Maps ,

together with Plans of the principal Cities of the World, constructed and engraved on steel under the superintendence of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, and including all the recent geographical discoveries, compiled from the latest and most authentic sources. Accompanied by alphabetical indexes to the modern and classical maps. 218 maps and plans.
