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.
"By a moment's reference, the exact situation of any
place may be found."—Birmingham Journal.
"An excellent little work, engraved with a clearness
and correctness which is quite surprising when complete,
travellers will have a system of Geography and a
complete Atlas, which they may carry in their pocket."—
Spectator.
"This is the most perfect gem of an Atlas which has
ever been published."—Brisol Journal.
"It corresponds in size with those popular publications
to which it will form so useful an addition—namely,
`The Family Library,' `The Classical Library,' and
`Cabinet Cyclopædia."—Court Journal.
"Nothing could be devised better calculated to impress
upon the mind a knowledge of the general principles of
geography, than the plan of this publication."—The
Warder.
"It will be a crying shame in this age of intellect, if
this able and beautiful work be not extensively patronized;
but we cannot doubt the success which we feel
assured its intrinsic merits must secure to it."—Intelligencer.
"It is scarcely in the nature of things, that a work of
so much public service should fail in meeting with that
extensive patronage which can alone remunerate the
projectors."—Leeds Intelligencer.
"The plates are beautifully executed; and the geographical
student may obtain in this little work, such is
the excellence of its arrangement, as much information
is he could gain by wading through several books of far
greater bulk."—Weekly Dispatch.
"We have seldom seen a work so perfect in its arrangement,
and so elegant in its execution."—York Courant.
"For the accuracy of its delineation, and the extent
of the information which it conveys, it stands without
a rival in English topography."—Freeman's Journal.
"The plan of this useful and elegant work may, indeed,
be called original. The style and execution of the
Maps are of the first character."—Woolmer's Exter and
Plymouth Gazette.
"This work is one of the most useful publications
which has yet issued from the press; it will be an unique
and brilliant accession to the library, and a very useful
work to the student in geography."—Reading Mercury
and Oxford Gazette.
"Its qualifications will render it one of the most popular,
highly interesting, and useful publications of the
day."—Liverpool Courier.
