He has placed in the hands of English readers a poem which deserves to outlive the present generation."-Edinburgh Review.

"Whatever surmises may be formed about Mary's knowledge or assent, there can now be no doubt that the murder was contrived, not by Mary, but by her accusers."-Scotsman.

"He has confuted those who, by brilliant writing and a judicious selection of evidence, paint the Queen of Scots as an incarnate fiend, and who are dramatic poets rather than historians."-The Times.

In a Series of entirely Original and Authentic Maps. By A. Keith Johnston, F.R.S.E., F.R.G.S., Author of the 'Physical Atlas,' &c. With a complete Index of easy reference to each Map, comprising nearly 150,000 Places contained in this Atlas.

Dedicated by special permission to Her Majesty. "Of the many noble atlases prepared by Mr Johnston and published by Messrs Blackwood and Sons, this Royal Atlas will be the most useful to the public, and will deserve to be the most popular."—Athenæum.

"We know no series of maps which we can more warmly recommend. The accuracy, wherever we have attempted to put it to the test, is really astonishing."-Saturday Review.

"The culmination of all attempts to depict the face of the world appears in the Royal Atlas, than which it is impossible to conceive anything more perfect.' -Morning Herald.

"This is, beyond question, the most splendid and luxurious, as well as the most useful and complete, of all existing atlases."-Guardian.

"An almost daily reference to, and comparison of, it with others, since the publication of the first part some two years ago until now, enables us to say, without the slightest hesitation, that this is by far the most complete and authentic atlas that has yet been issued."--Scotsman.

The Handy Royal Atlas.

45 Maps clearly printed and carefully coloured, with General Index. By A. Keith Johnston, F.R.S.E., F.R. G. S., &c. Imp. 4to, 2, 12s. 6d., half-bound morocco.

This work has been constructed for the purpose of placing in the hands of the public a useful and thoroughly accurate ATLAS of Maps of Modern Geography, in a convenient form, and at a moderate price. It is based on the ROYAL ATLAS,' by the same Author; and, in so far as the scale permits, it comprises many of the excellences which its prototype is acknowledged to possess. The aim has been to make the book strictly what its name implies, a HANDY ATLAS-a valuable substitute for the 'Royal,' where that is too bulky or too expensive to find a place, a needful auxiliary to the junior branches of families, and a vade mecum to the tutor and the pupil-teacher.

"This is Mr Keith Johnston's admirable Royal Atlas diminished in bulk and scale, so as to be, perhaps, fairly entitled to the name of "Handy," but still not so much diminished but what it constitutes an accurate and useful general Atlas for ordinary households."-Spectator.

[ocr errors]

The Handy Atlas' is thoroughly deserving of its name. Not only does it contain the latest information, but its size and arrangement render it perfect as a book of reference."-Standard.

Keith Johnston's School Atlases-OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

"They are as superior to all School Atlases within our knowledge, as were the larger works of the same Author in advance of those that preceded them.” -Educational Times.

"Decidedly the best School Atlases we have ever seen."-English Journal of Education.

The Physical Atlas seems to us particularly well executed. The last generation had no such help to learning as is afforded in these excellent elementary Maps. The Classical Atlas is a great improvement on what has usually gone by that name; not only is it fuller, but in some cases it gives the same country more than once in different periods of time. Thus it approaches the special value of a historical atlas. The General Atlas is wonderfully full and accurate for its scale. Finally, the Astronomical Atlas,

in which Mr Hind is responsible for the scientific accuracy of the maps, supplies an admitted educational want. No better companion to an elementary astronomical treatise could be found than this cheap and convenient collection of maps."-Saturday Review.

[ocr errors]

The plan of these Atlases is admirable, and the excellence of the plan is rivalled by the beauty of the execution. The best security for the accuracy and substantial value of a School Atlas is to have it from the hands of a man like our Author, who has perfected his skill by the execution of much larger works, and gained a character which he will be careful not to jeopardise by attaching his name to anything that is crude, slovenly, or superficial.”Scotsman.
