ROYAL ATLAS

OF MODERN GEOGRAPHY.

By A. KEITH JOHNSTON, LL.D.

Containing 51 Plates, Coloured in Outline, with a complete Index to each Map.

REVIEWS.

"Since this fine Atlas was issued sixteen years ago it has had no rival in England, and certainly
no superior. It was then and is still a credit to British chartography."-The Times.

"Altogether the new edition is a triumph of knowledge, skilled labour, and liberality.”—The

World.

"In its present form the Royal Atlas' is worthy of the unique reputation it has enjoyed as a
work alike of science and liberality."-Daily News.

to be desired."-The Standard.

For amplitude, and, so far as we have examined it, for minute accuracy, leaves nothing
"This magnificent work has long been the Standard English Atlas. In the new edition which
has just been issued all the maps have been revised up to date, and two new maps have been added
-one of them of great interest and value."-Manchester Guardian.

"No Atlas stands higher, or deserves to stand higher, than the Royal Atlas.'”—Liverpool
Courier.

"The get-up of the volume is magnificent, and both on the score of beauty and utility it is
worthy of the position among Atlases which its title claims for it."-The Scotsman.

Externally the Atlas is superbly handsome; internally it has claims to accuracy and extent
of information, clearness of delineation and printing, beauty of colouring, and finish of work-
manship, such as can scarcely be conceded to any work of a similar description.”—The Edinburgh

Courant.

"Accordingly, in this new edition the maps have undergone revising, and this work has been
done with such care that our search for errors has been quite a fruitless one."-Glasgow Herald.

THE

HANDY

ROYAL

ATLAS

OF MODERN GEOGRAPHY.

By A. KEITH JOHNSTON, LL.D.

Containing 47 Plates, with complete Index, brought up to date.

REVIEWS.

"Is probably the best work of the kind now published."-Times.

"Not only are the present territorial adjustments duly registered in all these Maps, but the
latest discoveries in Central Asia, in Africa, and America have been delineated with laborious
fidelity. Indeed, the ample illustration of recent discovery, and of the great groups of depen-
dencies on the British Crown, renders Dr. Johnston's the best of all Atlases for English use."-

Pall Mall Gazette.

"He has given us in a portable form geography posted to the last discovery and the last revo-
lution."-Saturday Review,

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.

"Thus we are inclined to give Mr. Alexander Keith Johnston every credit for the production
of a handy, and at the same time accurate and excellent Atlas, and bringing within reach of
every one the advantages without the bulk of his admirable Royal Atlas."-Examiner.

"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.
"It presents to the public, in a convenient form and at a very moderate price, a thoroughly
accurate Atlas of Modern Geography."-Observer.

"Among the useful and important chartographical publications brought out by our associate,
Mr. A. Keith Johnston, I have to mention The Handy Royal Atlas,' published this year as a
reliable work, giving the most recent discoveries by our travellers in Central Africa and Asia,
and, for its size and form. easy to be consulted."—Address of the President (Sir Roderick Impey
Murchison) of the Royal Geographical Society. May 1868.
