The General School Atlas. 28 Coloured Maps, with Index, royal 8vo., strongly bound, 3s. 6d. These Atlases are designed with two main objects in view : "The affording of a suitable and useful companion to those School Geographies most generally in use; and the forming of a good Copying Atlas. "To accomplish the first of these ends, only those names that are of importance, either in a geographical or historical point of view, have been inserted, thus avoiding the inconvenience of a too crowded Atlas, so confusing to general students; and yet, at the same time, containing every name mentioned in their Geographies. "To attain the second object, the Coast Line, Rivers, etc., have been marked very clearly and boldly, so that the Student, when engaged in drawing the Map, may instantly perceive its principal physical features standing prominently before him. "It will be observed in this work that the mountains, instead of being delineated in the usual manner, are represented by thick black lines, the Primary Ranges in each Map being marked thus.-.-.the Secondary and their principal elevations It is hoped. 111 that this method will tend to lessen one of the greatest difficulties of School Map Drawing."
