Mitchell's Ancient Geography.
An Ancient, Classical and Sacred Geography; embellished with Engravings of Remarkable Events, Views of Ancient Cities, and various interesting Antique Remains; and illustrated by an Ancient Atlas. By S. Augustus Mitchell. Price, $1 25 cts.
A good system of Ancient Geography, in the English language, drawn from authentic sources, with cuts illustrative of Ancient customs, places, temples, and other buildings and remarkable events, accompanied with a complete set of Maps of the World as known to the ancients; Asia Minor, Greece, Italy, the Roman Empire; the world as known to the Israelites, a Map of Canaan, with part of Egypt, and the route of the Israelites through the Desert; plans of Ancient Rome, Jerusalem, &c., was very much wanted by teachers of Sabbath Schools, and the members of Bible Classes; and such a one, so far as we are able to judge, we are happy to say, is now presented to the public in a very attractive form. The cuts in the Geography are exceedingly well done, and the Maps in the Atlas are equally well engraved, and equally well printed.—New York Christian Advocate.
Mitchell's Biblical and Sabbath School Geography.
This work, with appropriate Maps and embellishments, is now in progress, and will be published early in the ensuing season. Though hitherto greatly needed, no book of the kind proposed, suitable for the instruction of younger pupils in families and sabbath schools, has yet appeared. The attention of the publishers has been recently called to the subject, by the suggestions of gentlemen deeply interested in price and dimensions, illustrating the geography of the Holy Land, together with that of the other regions mentioned in Scripture, specially adapted to the end proposed, should be published.
For the basis of the proposed work, Part Second of Mitchell's Ancient Geography, to which it is similar in scope and design, will be adopted. As in that treatise, besides the requisite geographical notices proper to the subject, such historical incidents connected therewith will be interwoven with the narrative, as will render the local descriptions more interesting, and an examination of the various texts referred to will doubtless enable pupils to acquire a more distinct understanding of the geography and history of the sacred volume.
