la preparing these Maps, the Editors. hive had rie-
cess te, and fully availed themselves of, all the late naval
surveys for the coast lines; while recent travels have led
to many material corrections in the interior. For the
Ancient Series, the text of the old Geographers and His-

and hypotheses of modern writers. The Publishers may
safely challenge competition for the combined cheepneu
and elegance of this work.
