FAMILY CABINET ATLAS.
The FAMILY CABINET ATLAS, CONSTRUCTED UPON AN ORIGINAL
PLAN: Being a Companion to the Encyclopædia Americana,
Cabinet Cyclopædia, Family Library, Cabinet Library, &c.
This Atlas comprises, in a volume of the Family Library size, nearly 100 Maps
and Tables, which present equal to Fifty Thousand Names of Places; a body
of information three times as extensive as that supplied by the generality of
Quarto Atlases.
Opinions of the Public Journals.
“This beautiful and most useful little volume,” says the Literary Gazette,
“is a perfect picture of elegance, containing a vast sum of geographical information.
A more instructive little present, or a gift better calculated to be long
preserved and often referred to, could not be offered to favored youth of either
sex. Its cheapness, we must add, is another recommendation; for, although
this elegant publication contains 100 beautiful engravings, it is issued at a price
that can be no obstacle to its being procured by every parent and friend to youth.”
“This Atlas far surpasses any thing of the kind which we have seen, and is
made to suit the popular libraries which Dr. Lardner and Mr. Murray are now
sending into every family in the empire.”
—Monthly Review.
“Its very ingenious method of arrangement secures to the geographical student
the information for which hitherto he has been obliged to resort to works
of the largest dimensions.”
—Athenæum.
“This miniature and beautiful Atlas is likely to supersede, for general purposes,
maps of a more expensive and elaborate character. It appears to us to
answer the double purpose of exercising the attention, while it imprints all that
is important in Geography on the memory.”
—Atlas.
“The workmanship is among the best of the kind we have ever witnessed.”
—Examiner.
“It contains all the information to be derived from the most expensive and
unwieldy Atlas.”
—York Courant.
HISTORY OF THE REVOLUTION IN ENGLAND, IN
1688: comprising a View of the Reign of James II., from his
accession, to the Enterprise of the Prince of Orange. By the
late Right Hon. Sir James Mackintosh. And completed to
the Settlement of the Crown, by the Editor. To which is prefixed,
a Notice of the Life, Writings, and Speeches of Sir
James Mackintosh. In 1 vol. 8vo.
“We are at length gratified by the appearance of this long-looked for work
from the pen of Sir James Mackintosh. Highly gifted by nature, deeply read,
and singularly accomplished, the view of one of the most memorable epochs in
English history could not have been undertaken by any man of a capacity to do
it justice in every respect, superior to this eminent individual.”
—Lit. Gazette.
“In every page we perceive the anxiety of the historian to hold the balance
of justice with unfaltering hand, and to watch its slightest vibrations.”
—Athenæum.
“The Sequel is highly honourable to the industry and talents of its author;
and the Prefatory Memoir is very well written. Altogether, the volume
possesses a sterling character, too rare at this period of evanescent publications.”
—Lit. Gazette.
