Abstract
IT would be difficult to obtain a small atlas more complete than this. Every place of any importance appears to be represented on one or more of the thirty coloured maps. The degrees of latitude and longitude are subdivided into parts of five minutes each, so that the positions of places, the names of which are not engraved, can be easily and accurately located by reference to the alphabetical list at the end. This list is a comprehensive one. It gives the latitude and longitude of the principal mountains, rivers, capes, bays, islands, towns, and villages, and forms an excellent supplement to a very good atlas.
