." Magdalen Hepburn' will sustain the reputation which the author
of ' Margaret Maitland' has acquimd. It is a well-prepared and
carefully-executed i-icture of the Society and state of manners in
Scotland at the dawn of the Reformation, and the author has made
skilful use of authentic materials—the chief characters have all the
air of stately historical portraits. John Knox is successfully drawn."

These Atlases lay claim to a degree of accuracy and an amount of
information not hitherto attempted in educational works The maps
have been constructed with a special view to the purposes of sound
instruction, and are not copied from any existing Atlas : hence they
will be found free from the common faults of overcrowding and con-
fusion with which so many School Atlases are justly chargeable. By
means of a new process of production, the maps combine the accu-
racy and neatness of the highest style of engraving with a mechani-
cal application of colours, the effect of which is to secure a clearness
correctness, and elegance, unapproached by former methods.

OPINIONS.
EDUCATIONAL TIKES

They are as superior to +ill School Atlas=es within our knowledge
as were the larger works of the same author in advance of those that
preceded them. The Plates in the Physical Atlas excite our warmest
admieation for the cleanvss of the engraving and the beauty of the
colouring. . . . A more complete work for educational purposes
never came under our observation.

JOURNAL OF EDUCATION.
Decidedly the best school atlases we have ever seen.
SCOTSMAN.

The plan of these atlases is admirable, and the excellence of the
plan is rivalled by the beauty of the execution.. . . . Toe best
security for the accuracy and substantial value of a School Atlas is
to have it from the hands of a man like our author, who has per-
fected his skill by the execution of much larger works, and gained a
character which he will be careful not to jeopardise by attaching his
name to anything that is crude, slovenly, or superficial.
