"The students of Dr Smith's admirable Dictionaries must have felt themselves again and again brought up short for want of an Atlas constructed on the same scale of precise and minute information with the article they were reading. This want has at length begun to be supplied by the superb work before us. The first Part deals with all of the three great divisions which the student of ancient history chiefly recognises-Greece, Italy, and the Holy Land. Besides a map of the latter on a large scale, eight smaller ones give the aspect of the Holy Land at different historical periods; and Greece is shown as it was after the Doric migration, and as it was in the Persian wars. In both cases different colours mark out distinctly the different races-Doric, Ionian, Æolian, Achæan, Phoenician. Its colonial expansion is shown in a sheet of its own; while, to turn to quite a different period of history, a map of Ancient Gaul enables us to follow with the utmost clearness Cæsar's march of conquest. But though the ancient aspect occupies the chief place, and governs the outlines of the maps, the modern names are for the most part added in italics. The indices are full, the engraving is exquisite, and the delineation of the natural features very minute and beautiful. It may safely be pronounced and higher praise can scarcely be bestowed-to be a worthy companion of the series of familiar volumes which it is intended to illustrate.",

From the Literary Churchman.

"A truly magnificent work. Such a work has long been a desideratum, and when completed historical students will feel their wants satisfied. The maps are on a large scale, and the work will range with Keith Johnstone's Royal Atlas of Modern Geography.' The Classical Maps have been prepared by Dr Karl Müller, the Editor of Strabo.' Those of the Holy Land and Sinai include all the most recent observations and positions. We shall watch this series with great interest, as one of the most valuable additions to our libraries which we have had for many years."

From the British Quarterly Review.

"This Atlas is intended to be a companion to the Dictionary of the Bible and the Classical Dictionaries. The maps are all new; they have been constructed according to the highest and most recent authorities, and executed by the most eminent engravers. The artistic execution of this important and superb work is peerless. Each map is a picture. Their accuracy is of course beyond suspicion, although only continuous use can really test it."
