_Johnston’s Universal Atlas._
This splendid and important work—by far the most comprehensive,
correct and useful Atlas now extant, was published recently in
Edinburgh at the price of eight guineas, and the price in this
country has been about $50. G. P. Putnam has made arrangements for
an edition for the United States, rendered far more valuable by the
addition of a COPIOUS and USEFUL INDEX of about 40,000 names; but
the maps being transferred in facsimile on stone, the American
publisher is enabled to supply it at the low price of $20—elegantly
and substantially bound in half morocco, gilt edges. The maps are
clearly and beautifully executed, and are practically fully equal to
the original edition. The work contains 41 large and splendid maps.
“Having examined many of the Maps of the National Atlas, I have no
hesitation in saying, that they are as accurate in their
geographical details as they are beautiful in their execution.”—_Sir
David Brewster._
“So far as I have yet examined the National Atlas, it is, in beauty
of execution and accuracy of detail, unrivalled in this, and, I
believe, in any other country.”—_Prof. Traill._
“Those who are not familiar with the places referred to in the
History of the French Revolution will frequently find a reference to
Maps of great service: and the Military student of Napoleon’s
campaigns in Germany and France will see the theatre of war
admirably delineated in Mr. Johnston’s Maps of those
countries.”—_Alison’s History of Europe._
“I have devoted a considerable time to a rigorous examination of the
National Atlas, just published, and, in impartial justice, I must
admit, that in accuracy of construction, and elegance of execution,
it is superior to any other with which I am acquainted.”—_William
Galbraith_, F.R.S. S.A., F.R.A.S.
“These beautiful, accurate, and admirably engraved Maps and
Illustrations, are deserving of every praise and
encouragement.”—_Edinburgh New Philosophical Journal._
“The National Atlas is truly a splendid publication, and fully
deserves not only the distinctive name it bears, but also national
patronage.”—_Literary Gazette._
