"Of the many noble atlases prepared by Mr. Johnston and
published by Messrs. Blackwood and Sons, this Royal Atlas
will be the most useful to the public, and will deserve to be
the most popular." —Athenmum, August 10, 1801.
"We know no series of maps which we can more warmly
recommend. The accuracy, wherever we have attempted to
put it to the test, is really astonishing."—Saturday Review.
" The culmination of all attempts to depict the face of the
world appears in the Royal Atlas, than which it is impossible
to conceive anything more perfect."—Morning Herald.

"This is, beyond question, the most splendid and luxuri-
ous, as well as the most useful and complete, of all existing
atlases."—Guardian.

"There has not, we believe, been produced for general
public use a body of maps equal in beauty and completeness
to the Royal Atlas just issued by Mr. A. K. Johnston."—
Examiner.

" In comparing this beautiful and valuable atlas with pre-
vious collections, every one must be struck, not only by the
immense advances in geographical knowledge, but by the
greatly increased power of representing that knowledge to
the eye in the course of the last thirty years."—Economist.
"An almost daily reference to, and comparison of it with
others, since the publication of the first part some two years
ago until now, enables us to say, without the slightest hesi-
tation, that this is by far the most complete and authentic
'atlas that has yet been issued."—Scotsman.

fully explained in J. GROSSMITIPS

" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex-
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi-
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive.
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grossmith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."
