For a country as vast a. oar own and IN
W ich the growth isse -pid, and where new
Territories and States are coming into exist
ence in sdch quick succession, and where
the unprecedented military operations o! tic
last three and a half years-snpNs'7dented
in the history of the world, beth for their
vastness and the great consequences which
must result from them-are almost daily
giving extraordinary importance to many
places little known before. and investing
with a new and high interest others with
which, merely from civil or commercial I'M
portance, the public were more or less ae-
quainbed previously, a new ATLAS, adapted
to our W. times, had become a necessity.
This necessity has been met with remarkable
success in the work now before us. We shall
state some Of its most remarkable exccllen-
cies. To specify them all would require q
Giir-sized volume.
For convenient consideration, we shall no
tice the work under two general heads
First, The Atlas Proper, or the collection Of
Maps, giving the civil divisions, with the
rivers, cities, principal towns, drawings on
larger scale of important harbors, outlines of
remarkable forts, &c; Second, The Physical
Geography, the Statistical and Historical
mGtter-which is printed for the most part
on the reverse Of the leaves containing the
the maps in this arrangement there are
70 large works, as ordinarily printed, con-
tanned in the compass Of one.
The Maps occupy over "A hundred pages,
printed in clear line and letter. on good pa
per of folio size. In several instances, where
one page would not present the territory
covered by the map on a sufficiently large
scale, the map occupies two pages facing
each other. Some OF the maps are the same,
with some cancellations. as the maps ia
