MR. PINKERTON'S GEOGRAPHICAL WORKS.

This Day is published,

I.

MR. PINKERTON'S NEW MODERN ATLAS.

No. 1 to 17, Price £1. 1s. each.

The Maps are engraved in the size called Colombier, so as to correspond with the works of D'Anville; from drawings executed under Mr. Pinkerton's eye; with all the advantages afforded by the latest improvements in geographical precision; and they exhibit the utmost beauty that the state of the arts can admit. It is calculated that the work will be completed in Twenty Numbers, one published every two months, and that the whole expense will be twenty guineas.

As the style of engraving reuders first impressions desirable, they will be carefully delivered, in the order of names, and copies are neatly put together, with the Maps carefully folded upon guards (as they will be bound when the work is completed), for more safe conveyance to the country; whilst other copies will be delivered, without any fold, to those who may prefer them in that state.

*** In the last number will be given a Geographical Memoir, reciting the character and merits of the chief authorities upon which each Map is constructed, with directions for a general arrangement.
