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.
