PHILIPS' COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL ATLAS OF ANCIENT AND MODERN CEOGRAPHY,

COMPRISING

THIRTY-EIGHT MODERN AND FIVE ANCIENT MAPS,

Constructed from the latest and best Authorities, engraved in the best style, and carefully coloured, Accompanied by a Consulting Index of 22,000 Names of Places, carefully compiled by J. H. Johnson. **The Publishers, in preparing their COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL ATLAS, have endeavoured to produce a work embodying all the recent Discoveries in Geographical Science, and suited in all respects to the requirements of the Student. The Maps are upon a larger scale and more numerous than in any other existing School Atlas, and

include separate Plates of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the other British Colonial Possessions. The Consulting Index bas been got up with great care, and will be found to be really an Index to the Maps, and not, as is usually the case, a mere Compilation of Names, having little connection with the work it is intended to illustrate. 2.
