It

"This is one of the very best of the larger collections of maps with which we are acquainted, for clearness and accuracy, as well as its very reasonable cost. Several striking improvements characterise the edition before us. has again undergone comparison with the best authorities, contains many corrections consequent on the latest Government surveys, supplies all the varions lines of railway neatly laid down, gives quite new maps where necessary, and is enriched with an alphabetical index of more than seventy thousand names of places contained in the collection, with their degrees of latitude and longitude. This index, which is quite invaluable, is printed with exquisite clearness; and we have examined a sufficient number of names and places to be convinced of its general and faultless accuracy. Of Maps, it has been properly said that they are works always in progress. They can never be considered as finished, because they unceasingly wait corrections to be supplied by the science and enterprise of succeeding ages. A glance at the beautiful volume before us, and the most cursory comparison of it with the best collections at the opening of the present century, will shew us the astounding rapidity with which, in such matters, both enterprise and science have advanced of late, and the more than equal pace that is kept with both by all whose duty it is to popularise and make accessible their results. Such a book as this could as little have been placed within the reach of moderate means half a century ago, as the information it contains could have been even guessed at."-EXAMINER.
