The Punjab and Delhi in 1857: Being a Narrative of

the Measures by which the Punjab was saved and Delhi recovered during the Indian Mutiny. By the Rev. J. CAVE-BROWNE, Chaplain of the Punjab Movable Column. With Plans of the Chief Stations and of the different Engagements, and Portraits of Sir J. Lawrence, Bart., Sir H. Edwardes, Sir R. Montgomery, and Brig. Gen. J. Nicholson. Two Volumes, Post Octavo, 21s.

"To those who wish to possess a condensed narrative of the siege of Delhi, but 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 of 1857 they will prove invaluable."-Allen's Indian Mail.

"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.

sonal Narrative. By CHARLES STUART FORBES, Commander, R. N. Post Octavo, with Portraits, 12s.

"A volume which contains the best sketch hitherto published of the campaign which put an end to Bourbon rule in the Two Sicilies. It is accompanied with plans of the chief battles; and its honest unexaggerated record contrasts very favourably with the strained and showy account of the Garibaldians just published by M. Dumas."—Examiner.

MODERN GEOGRAPHY

IN A SERIES OF ENTIRELY ORIGINAL AND AUTHENTIC 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.

Imperial Folio, half-bound in russia or morocco, £5, 15s. 6d.

Athenæum, August 10, 1861.

Under the name of "The Royal Atlas of Modern 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 magnificent book. Mr A. Keith Johnston answers for the engraving and printing: to those who love clear forms and delicate bold type we need say no more. All that maps should be, these maps are honest, accurate, intelligible guides to narrative or description. Of the many noble atlases prepared by Mr Johnston and published by Messrs Blackwood and Sons, this Royal Atlas will be the most useful to the public, and will deserve to be the most popular.

Saturday Review.

The completion of Mr Keith Johnston's Royal Atlas of Modern 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 fulness. The labour and trouble of reference are in this way reduced to a minimum.

The number of places enumerated in the separate indices is enormous. We believe, indeed, that every name which 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 no series of maps which we can more warmly recommend. have attempted to put it to the test, is really astonishing.

Guardian.

This is, beyond 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, since the publication of the first part some two years ago until now, enables us to say, without the slightest hesitation, that this is by far the most complete and authentic atlas that has yet been issued.

"The Physical Atlas of Mr Keith Johnston-a perfect treasure of compressed information."— Sir John Herschel.

"There is no map in this noble Atlas upon which we might not be tempted to write largely. Almost every one suggests a volume of reflection, and suggests it by presenting, in a few hours, accurate truths which it would be the labour of a volume to enforce in words, and by imprinting them, at the same time, upon the memory with such distinctness that their outlines are not likely to be afterwards effaced. The Physical Atlas' is a somewhat costly work, reckoning it only by its paper; but upon its paper is stamped an amount of knowledge that could scarcely be acquired without the reading of as many books as would cost seven times the price."- Eraminer. "This Atlas ought to have a place in every good library. We know of no work containing such copious and exact information as to all the physical circumstances of the earth on which we live."-Quarterly Review.

"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 to us 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.
