Johnson's New illustrated Steel Plate
Family Atlas,

At all times, and especially at this time,
when every days history brings with it
necessity for reference TO n 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
this country has ever scem--has awakened
an interest in the minds OF all, children rs
well as adults, to understand thoroughly
the localities which are daily reported as
the scenes of incidents and accidents Of
the war. The hitherto dry subject of
Geography has become one Of the most
exciting topics, and not to know our own
country will hereafter be evidence OF stu
/ pidty or willul ignorance. Such being
/ the case, tie advent OF new Family
| Atlas, coming, as does the one under
notice, with all the latest improvements
aud with all the war points distinctly and
correctly marked, engages the attention
Of hundreds where before scarcely one
would have noticed it.
Johnson's Illustrated Family Atlas is
published by johnson g. Ward, success
ors to J. II. Cotton, the celebrated map
publisher. lis size is that known as i'm
perial folio, while it contains over one
hundred maps and charts, and nearly three
hundred illustrations. Owing to pc.
culiar arrangement OF the leaves, the sev
cral maps comprising the Two opposite
pages are upon much larger scale thar
any that have before been issued in book
form. We have given this work minute
and careful examination, and we are bu
j 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 examine
in II tho map OF every State and section c
country with which we have anv knowl
edge, and not only do we find the wor
Il correc: in its general features, but tn
mInutest details, even to the location o
the smallest towns. villages, streams
y &c, are clearly and accurately laid down
u 1t also contains the location of all Unite
States forts and military stations.
J The maps OF the States, Empires, King
doms, &c., are upon much larger seal
thar in any other atlas, and subdivision
into counties, townships, parishes and car
mountain, IIvGr, city. town or village i
le the word. The work is fully up TO dat
d in all changes and discoveries, and tn
e maps alone cover more than ten time
Il the superficial area of most wall maps, be
sides embracing the whole world.
The maps have been prepared unde
IS the immediate supervision Of J. II. Col
DI ton and A. J. Johnson, Mr.. Cotton havin.

!, years, in the department of modern geog
raphy. We regard ;his new Famil
Atlas as n standard authority and as neces
l. sary to the student, ,gCncrareader or famil
,e circle, as dictionary. Besides one hui
I'd Grcd and fifty maps and charts, it CO.
