MAPS,
Published by BALDWIN and CRADOCK,
UNDEWthe SUPERINTENDENCE of the SOCIETY for the
DIFFUSION of USEFUL KNOWLEDGE.
'THESE MAPS, originally designed for the pur-
pose of illustrating the Historical and Geographical Works
of the Society, will form a very complete Modern and Ancient
Atlas, which, for its extent and beauty, will be the cheapest ever
presented to the publiC. Sixty-five numbers, containing each two
maps, price Is. per number, or coloured, Is. 6d., are already before
the public, and about 15 more will complete the plan. These will
he brought forward as speedily as the rigid attention bestowed on
their accuracy will allow. The progress of publication has been
somewhat impeded of late by the necessity of waiting for materials,
to be olstained only from actual surveys ; but it is hoped that all
impediments of this sort will be soon surmounted.
A MAP of IRELAND, in two sheets, is nearly ready, which
will complete the whole of Europe.
These Maps are compiled from the very best authorities, both
official and private. The scale varies according to the acknow-
ledged importance of the respective countries and districts. The
Ancient Maps—a very useful and interesting feature of which is,
that they are precisely on the same scale as the corresponding
Modern—are compiled with the greatest care, and under the most
rigorous scrutiny.
The Society have also published, of the same size as the Geogra-
phical Maps, price 3s. plain ; 65. with the Constellations co-
loured and 6s. on India paper :
SIX MAPS of the STARS, laid down on the Gnomonic Pro-
jection, including all the Stars to the Sixth Magnitude, or such as
can be seen with the naked eye. These Maps, placed on a ten-inch
cube, will supply the place of a Celestial Globe, and will be found
exceedingly useful in schools.
