A considerable period has elapsed since the publication
of a British Atlas on an extended scale, and the interval
has been marked by many important discoveries in General
and Physical Geography, as well as by national changes of
universal interest. To overtake these, the present work
has been prepared from a series of drawings wholly origi-
nal; and from the comprehensiveness of plan, correctness,
and extreme elegance of the style of engraving, the Pro-
prietors confidently anticipate that this Atlas will supply
a ,4esideralum long felt both by the general and scientific
reader.
