of its size and beauty; the price being
but eight dollars. 1t is rejected on a
scale of IS miles to an inch, with the
counties of the several states and terri
tories well defined and enlarged. The
frame includes very neat Table Of the
comparative hight of the mountains in
the United States, copious statistical
Table, and separate and equally well
executed Map of North America on a
small scale. The best use has been
made of the latest geographical infer
nation and discoveries. We have seen

has appeared tous to be more worthy
commentator and patronage 1t will
be universally admired.-Mr. Finley
deserves much credit for the number
of useful and handsome maps which he
has issued upon the most moderate
terms-.N'at. Gaz.
