“ They are as superior to all School Atlases within our knowledge, as were 'the larger works
of the same Author in advance of those that preceded them.”—Educational Times.
“ Decidedly the best School Atlases we have ever seen.*’—English Journal of Education.
“ . . . The Physical Atlas seems td u s particularly well executed. . . . The last generation
had no such help to learning as is afforded in these excellent elementary maps. The Classical
Atlas is a great improvement on what has usually gone by that name; not only is it fuller,
but in some cases it gives the same country more than once in different periods of time. Thus it
approaches the special value of a historical atlas. . . . The General Atlas is wonderfully full
and accurate for its scale. . . . Finally, the Astronomical Atlas, in which Mr Hind is responsible
for the scientific accuracy of the maps, supplies an admitted educational want. No better
companion to an elementary astronomical treatise could be found than this cheap and convenient
collection of maps.”—Saturday Review.
*< The plan of these Atlases is admirable, and the excellence of the plan is rivalled by the beauty
of the execution. . . . The best security for the accuracy and substantial value of a School
Atlas is to have it from the hands of a man like our Author, who has perfected his skill by the
execution of much larger works, and gained a character which he will be careful not to jeopardise
by attaching his name to anything that is crude, slovenly, or superficial ”—Scotsman.

“ The best book I have ever met with.”—Professor Johnston.
“We have thoroughly examined these volumes; but to give a full notice of their varied and
valuable contents would occupy a larger space than we can conveniently devote to their discussion
; we therefore, in general terms, commend them to the careful study of every young
man who wishes to become a good practical farmer.—Tvmes.

“ In the construction of every kind of building required in a garden, the ‘structural’ section
of the work will be found to contain a large amount of information suitable alike for buildings
and gardens. Mr M‘Intoab being himself one of the most experienced garden architects of our
time, .minute details are given, so that the expense of even a pit, up to a garden replete with
every necessary erection, maybe at once ascertained, a matter of no small importance to gentlemen
about either to form new gardens, or improve such as already exist. . . . On the whole,
this volume on structural gardening, both in compilation and artistical execution, deserves our
warmest commendation.
“ The second volume is of a cultural character, and has been got up with great care and research.
I t embodies the opinions and practice of the older writers on Horticulture, and also,
what is of more importance, the experience of our eminent modem gardeners on the subject,
together with the opinions of our author, who has studied and practised the art for upwards of
half a century, both in this country and on the Continent. . . . We therefore feel justified
in recommending Mr M'Intosh’s two excellent volumes to the notice of the public.”—Gardeners’
Chronicle.
