THE PHYSICAL ATLAS OF NATURAL PHENOMENA. By Alex. Keith Johnston, F.R.S.E., &c.

Geographer to the Queen.

A New and Enlarged Edition.

Imperial Folio, price £12, 12s. half-bound morocco.

"The first edition of the Physical Atlas was a volume of which we were entitled, as a nation, to be proud. It supplied with a rare perfectness the want not of this country only, and its rapid sale was an inevitable consequence. By making the second edition, as this is, so clearly an improvement on the first, Mr Johnston secures for his Atlas a pre-eminence that it is not likely to lose during the lifetime of the present generation. It is indeed a work of magnificent range and completeness."-Examiner.

"In the two essential points of completeness and compactness, this is by far the best geographical Manual with which we are acquainted. It fully deserves, and we heartily hope that it will meet with, a success commensurate with the vast amount of time and labour which he must have expended on its compilation."-Spectator.

"The plan upon which it is composed is good, great stress being laid upon physical geography, and the river-systems of the globe being completely developed in a manner never before attempted."-Athenæum.

"The science of Geography has made a marked progress of late in all its branches, and it is now treated with a care and comprehensiveness suitable to its importance. Mr Mackay's Manual is a striking proof of the advance that has been made, and of the new spirit of investigation that is at work."-Civil Service Gazette.
