ATLAS THE WORLD.-We have had an opportu-
nifty Of examining the latest edition of CoLrONs Gen
eral Atlas of the World, and we have no hesitation
in saying that 1t presents in convenient form the
most full and reliable information of the countries
and important cities Of the world to be found. More
than year ago we purchased copy of an earlier
edition of this work and from frequent perusal
of its pages its maps and letter press descriptions
can pronounce it correct in every particular
snd for reference and general information of the
world, the most valuable work which can be offer
ed to the student, professional business man. The
present edition now before u.s. was published this
year by JOHNSON & BROWNING, of New York, the en-
terprsing of Mr. COLTON the long distin-
guished map publisher and we notice, especially in
the maps of the States that the changes made in
counties well the projected railroads are very
accurately delineated. Mr.. DENNY. who has spen:
some months in bringing this valuable work before
the people Of Georgia, to this city very high
ly recommended and we take pleasure in bespeaking
for him that consideration from the citizens of Nash
vile which feel assured the work itself deserves
from an intelligent people.
