AT all times. and especially at this ume,
when every days history brings with 1t
necessity for reference to reliable map
of the country, an atlas which is at once
minute and correct is Indispensable TO
every reading family. This war-the
greatest teacher of domestic geography

an interest 10 the minds Of all, children as
we'll as adults, to understand thoroughly
the localities which are daily reported as
the scenes Of incidents and accidents o!

any that have before been issued in book
form. We have given this work minute
and careful examination, and we are bu
expressing our honest convictions In say
ing that we believe it to be the most com
plete, accurate and valuable work Of tn,
kind ever published. We have examined
in it the map of every State and section o
country with which we have any knowl
edge, and not only do we find the work
correc: in its general features, but the
miuutest details, even to the location oI
the smallest towns, villages, streams.
