Johnson's Illustrated Family Atlas.

Decidedly the hIndsomest, most com-
p-rhcnsiye, and mos; usefnl Atlas that we
have seen has been laid on our table fo-
c animation. I, Is entitled Johuson's
Illustrated Family Atlas, and Is published

The maps of the several States are
urge and minute, the roads being
distinctly traced, each township marked,
and every place that has been ofany note

Thcye are over one hundred finely OK

Atlas, among them being enlarged plans
| Of Southern harbors and cities. Besides
| thCsa, and the large amount of descriptive
letter press, there is q comprehensive and
| clearly written treaties on physical Geog-
raphr, copiously illustrated with engra-
wings. maps and charts. The treatise
covers the whole ground Of land and its
1 phenomena, water and its phenomena,
1 Atmosphere anu L. PACAOA4GA-i S-SSJ
and its phenomena, plants, animals, and
man. This treatise is not the least val
liable part Of the work.
The superiority Of such an Atlas as this
over even the best wall map can be seen
ut q glance, rs it admits OF larger scale,
greater convenience of reference, and oc'
3lp:es less space. By n peculiar arrange
ment the information in this Atlas can
always be brought down to the last mo-
ment whenever Gny important changes
are effected. Extra guards have been IN
serted between tEe maps, so thatany per,
son with q lille past OF mucilage can add
new maps without the least detriment TO
the appearance Of the work. The pro
