A WORK OF GREAT MERIT AND
REAL. VALUE.

The most valuable and practical work
tor the home, Office and library in the Geo.
graphical line we have lately examined is
the Grand New Census Edition of Cram
Unrivalled Atlas of the World, just from
the press and now being introduced to the
people by Mr.. E. P. Greene. For cons
pleteness in all It's details and general ac-
curacy it is We believe as near perfect as
such work can be made, and is proud
accomplishment for the Publishers The
majority of the Maps are entirely new and
show all the New Railroads, New Stations,
New Counties &c. correct to date. The
index is most conveniently arranged and
Is full and complete. By its aid any city,
town or cross road in the U S. can be
Immediately found without having any
knowledge OF its location. 1t also design
ates the post-otiice money order offices,
Express stations, county towns and gives
their population according to the census of
1890. The foreign maps are on as large a
scale as we have ever seen in an Atlas of
this kind and as they are compiled largely
from charts gotten up by the Royal Geo
graphical Society of London are complete
and very reliable. The statistical matter
Is OF liked and determined character, en-
braclng most OF the important facts Of the
world and are comparatively shown by
colored diagrams, graphically illustrating
the difference In the various countries pop
| ulation, commerce, finance and military
strength together with many other items
OF interest.

can history forms most interesting part
OF the work. All the important events
