“ To those Who wish to possess a condensed narrative of the siege of Delhi, hut especially of
the heroic doings Of the handful of Englishmen scattered throughout the Punjab, these volumes
recommend themselves by their scrupulous accuracy, while to the future historian of the India

“ This is a work which will well repay the trouble of perusal. Written by one who was himself
present at many of the scenes he narrates, and who has had free access to the papers of Sir
J. Lawrence, Sir R. Montgomery, and Sir H. Edwardes, it comes with all the weight of official
authority, and all the vividness of personal narrative.”—Press.

MODERN GEOGRAPHY
IN A SERIES OF ENT IRELY ORIGINAL AND AUTHENTI C MAPS.
BY A. KEITH JOHNSTON, F.R.S.E. F.R.G.S.
Author of the “ Physical Atlas, ” &c.
With a complete Index of easy reference to each Map, comprising nearly
150,000 Places contained in this Atlas.

Athenaeum, August 10,1861.
Under the name of “ The Royal Atlas of Modem Geography,” Messrs Blackwood and Sons
have published a book of maps, which for care of drawing and beauty of execution appears to
leave nothing more to hope for or desire. Science and art have done their best upon this mag-
mficent book. Mr A. Keith Johnston answers for the engraving and printing: to those who
e «lear forms and delicate bold type we need say no more. All that maps should be these
maps a re : honest, accurate, intelligible guides to narrative or description. . . . . Of the
many noble atlases prepared by Mr Johnston and published by Messrs Blackwood and Sons 4
this Royal Atlas will be the moet useful to the public, and will deserve to be the most popular. |
Saturday Review.
The completionof Mr Keith Johnston's Royal Atlas ofMaden Geography claims a special notice
at our hands 'While Mr Johnston’s maps are certainly unsurpassed by any for legibility and
uniformity of drawing as well as for accuracy and judicious selection, this eminent geographer’s
Atlas has a distinguishing merit in the fact that each map is, accompanied by a special index of
remarkable fblness. The labour and trouble of reference are in this way reducedd» iTminhnum^
• I ^ & I “ of plaoe3 enumerated in the separate indices is enormous. We believe’
indeed, that every name whieh appears in the maps is registered in the tables; and as each
place is indicated by two letters, which refer to the squares formed by the parallels of latitude
and longitude, the method of using the index is extremely easy and convenient. . . We
know do senes of maps which we can more warmly recommend. The accuracy, wherever we
have attempted to put it to the test, is really astonishing.
Morning Herald.
The culmination of all attempts to depict the face of the world appears in the Royal Atlas
than which it is impossible to conceive anything more perfect.
Guardian.
This is, heyond question, the most splendid and luxurious, as well as the most useful and
complete of all existing atlases.
Examiner.
There has not, we believe, been produced for general public use a body of maps equal in
beauty and completeness to the Royal Atlas just issued by Mr A. K. Johnston.
Scotsman.
An almost daily reference to, and comparison of, it with others, sinee the publication of the
ta r t part some two years ago until now, enables ns to say, without the slightest hesitation, that
this is by far the most complete and authentic atlas that has yet been issued-.
