J0hnS0n's New Illustrated Fam
iIy Atlas,


This is by far the most superb work q
The KIND ever yet issued from the Press, a,
1t is also the most extensive and comnreben.
sive. The work was laid before ms a hu
days Since, by the agent Of this county, Mr..
w. l.. Warner, and we confess that we were
fascinated by it, 1t contains SO many attrac
tons IN its BEAUTIFULLY colored maps. and i,s
numerous pictorial illustrations in the SCIENCE
OF Physical Geography, that the eye would
scarcely ever tire Of looking upon it, while
the mental food 1t furnishes is of the very
highest order, next to that to be de rived from
holy WRIT, as it is connecting link between
that and modern history. In these DAVIS of
progression in the arts ani sciences, this At.
las is indispensable to the learned as we'll as
TO the ignorant, in IFS treatise of Physical
topography that precedes the maps of all
Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceanica or Islanes of
the Pacific Ocean, Antarlc Lands, the ia.
panese Empire, all of which are drawn with
great care, and engraved in the best STYLE Of
the art upon the very best steel plates. Pre-.
ceding these maps is treatise on Physical
Geography, handsomely illustrated by cuts
which will be found elegantly written and
lntellIgently concise. This, although new
feature in such work, will, to every intelli.
gent mind, be found OF the greatest impor
tance to the student as we'll as the educated
historian, in connection with the maps. The
size OF the Family Atlas is that known as
Imperial folio, printed on the very best oual.
ity OF extra book paper and is very elegantly
and substantially bound in Shot Cloth and
Turkey Morocco, and splendid gold stamp
of the Great Seal OF the United States upon
each cover Of the work. A beautiful yienette
appears as a frontispiec, representing "Civii.

through his iron lungs, the Aborigines seem
conlounded between wonder and airazemeut.
The frontlspiece is very spirited and beauti
fully suggestive. The maps of the United
States are nearly all double sheets, extend

Sneet and scale, for the purpose OF correctly
showing the relative size and position one
State bears to another. The routes into

steamboats, and railroads, are correctly indi
lated. This Atlas is particularly valuable at
his time of our country's commotion, as it
