4oSx's NAP or NOR11s AaERIc..-We we've
about te write deserving notice Of this yaln-
able publication. when the follow ing editorial.
in the Democrat Of Saturday evening, met our
eye. We endorse every word of It, and take
pleasure in recommending Mr.. Evans, the
agent. to the attention Of our citizens. This
map has ELECTED the appreciation Of the first
statesmen and learned men of our country
since its publication, and not in the least par
ticular undeservedly. No such correct and
valuable map Of our continent has heretofore
been published. The Democrat speaks Of itas
follows:
We were waited upoI yesterday. by Mr. E.
Evans the agent for Minnesota Territory oi
Monks Map Of North America. Our readers
have probably seen descriptions of this map.
1t is regarded as one OF the best extant. and as
il comprises much valuable Information, the
fruit OF recent discoveries. it will prove an
addition to the library. the Office, aud the
school house.
This map is perhaps the handsomcat. the most
ever given to the public. II esul,saees
more territory ON \ larger. and all on IN equal
scale. than any map ever published in this or
any country. showing the whole expanse from
within seven degrees of the Equator. (sDuth of
the Isthmus Of Panama) to the 5Oth parallel o!
north latitude. 1t includes the new territories
of Washington and Nebraska. and is the only
map we have seen that includes the possessions
Of the United Stat, NJ o the Pac ic coast.
We have examined this admirable map with
some care, and with no less interest. While
lts scope is very comprehensive. IL is at the
same time very minute in its details. The
geographer will find in it, most useful knowl
.dge-the politician will be surprised to see
the vast territorial extent Of this colossal Re-.
public. which it exhibits. We do not hesitate
to say that it is the best map Of North America
that has ever fallen under our observation. On
the same sheet is new Map Of the World. OF
Mcrcator's projection. This is valuable ap
pendage to the other, and renders the whole
complete.
MIR. Evans. the agent. will wait upon our
citizens for the purpose OF soliciting subscrip
tions. The map is furnished very cheap.
