NEW TESTAMENT MAP.


A map of the countries mentioned in the New Testament and of the travels of the Apostles-with ancient and mod- ern names, from the most authentic sources. 1 sheet. Size, 32 by 25 inches. Price, mounted, $1 25.


"Its size, finish, distinctness, fullness, and accuracy, make it very ele- gant and useful. Sabbath-school teachers and private Christians, as well as theological students, may esteem and use it with great advan- tage. *


* I own and value." Samuel H. Cox, D. D.


" On a scale neither too large to be unwieldy, nor yet too small to be accurate, it presents at a single view, with great distinctness, the scenes of the striking events of the New Testament, and cannot fail to give to those events a greater clearness, and by presenting so plainly their lo- calities to throw over them new interest. * * * * It seems to have been drawn in accordance with the best authorities."


Erskine Mason, D. D.


"Valuable for accuracy, beauty, and cheapness. Having both the ancient and modern names of places, and being of portable size, it would appear happily adapted for the use of Sabbath-school teachers." William R. Williams, D. D.


"I have been much pleased with the apparent accuracy, and the beautiful execution of a map of the countries mentioned in the New Testament, published by Mr. Colton, and think it adapted to be useful." Stephen H. Tyng, D. D.

THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.


MAP OF THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,


Compiled from Railroad, Coast, and State Surveys. By G. E. Walker and J. Johnson, Civil Engineers. 4 sheets. Size, 73 by 57 inches.


Price, mounted, $10 00.


This map has been compiled under the authority of the Legislature of the State of South Carolina, and is the only map of the State which, for accuracy of delineation and minutiæ of detail, can claim to be reliable. It embraces all the surveys made by or under authority of the local government, the surveys of the most eminent civil engineers in the ser- vice of the several railroad companies, and the results of the United States' Coast Survey; and for the authenticity of its material, and the general correctness of its topographical illustrations, the reputation of two of the most widely known and esteemed engineers of the State is responsible. Such guarantees for the perfection of a state map were never before afforded to the public. The map, in point of minuteness, stands un- equalled : it exhibits the lines of all existing railroads, all railroads in progress, and those also which are projected, the whole system of post and district roads, and all other internal improvements ; the situation of cities, towns, villages, post-offices, and the great multiplicity of other objects usually'found on the best and most elaborate maps ; and in point of execu- tion, its artistical merits are such as to challenge the admiration of all whose opinion is worth recording. The large scale adopted by the authors, the distinctness with which its great natural features are depicted, and the truthfulness of its geographical context, adapt it peculiarly to the wants of all interested in commerce, internal trade, and general busi- ness within the State; and to surveyors and engineers it must supply much that is new, important, and valuable to facilitate their labors in the field as well as in the office. No resident, indeed, at all interested in the progress of the State, can well do without this man, which so faithfully reflects the actual condition of the country with which he is identified.

A Map of the United States, 80 by 62 inches.


A Map of Europe, 80 by 62 inches, on the same plan with that of the United States, will complete the series.


THE MAPS OF THE WORLD


Are nearly quadruple the size of any others now in use, and exhibit the different portions of the Earth's surface in bold and vivid out- line, which makes them sufficiently distinct to be plainly seen and studied from the most distant parts of the largest school-room. They exhibit the physical features of the World, and also give an accurate view of its political divisions, showing the relative size of each, with their natural and conventional boundaries. In the corners of each map there are diagrams which exhibit the elements of physical geogra- phy, as the parallels, meridians, zones, and climates-the latter by isothermal lines. There are also appended two separate hemispheres, exhibiting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans complete, &c., forming in all eight different diagrams, illustrative of the primary elements of the science. These appendices will greatly assist the teacher in his eluci- dations, and make tangible to the scholar the basis of geographical mechanism.

NEW PHYSICAL AND POLITICAL ATLASES.


AMERICAN ATLAS,


Illustrating the Physical and Political Geography of the United States of America, the British Provinces, Mexico, Central America, the West Indies, and South America: constructed from official surveys and other authentic materials.


The " American Atlas" contains separate maps of every state and coun try of North and South America, and the West Indies, engraved in the most elaborate style, and colored so as to distinguish readily the civil and political divisions of each. The work embraces about 50 maps in imperial folio, and each map is accompanied with a letter-press description of the country it may represent; exhibiting, in a condensed form, all its great interests, industries, and institutions. (In progress.)


Price, $15.00; or without letter-press. $12.50.


ATLAS OF THE WORLD,


Illustrating Physical and Political Geography : constructed from official surveys and other authentic materials.


The "Atlas of the World" contains all the maps and letter-press comprised in the American Atlas, with the addition of between 30 and 40 maps and descriptions of the several countries of Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceanica, and, in every respect, is got up in the same splendid style, and with the same regard to authenticity and correctness. (In progress.)


Price, $18.00; or without letter-press, $15.00.


The maps contained in the above elaborate works have been drawn under the superintendence of an accurate and accomplished geographer, and con- tain, besides the usual geographical outlines, true representations of all works of internal improvement, the lines of public surveys, and a great mass of other valuable information.


The descriptive portions of the work are written by DR. R. S. FISHER, author of the "Book of the World," and other statistical works. These descriptions embrace all the geographical, geological, and statistical infor- mation incident to the countries to which they refer ; and also an outline of their institutions, political, religious, and intellectual. In the compila- tion of this, as in all other departments of the works, the most recent and authentic materials have been used, and the whole forms a convenient and reliable source of information touching the subjects treated of.


Works such as the above have long been demanded by the enlightened portion of the American public. For many years extraordinary advances have been made in geographical science ; discoveries of the highest im- portance have been effected ; regions before comparatively unknown have been explored, and their physical characteristics ascertained with greater or less minuteness ; and on every side man has been actively engaged in acquiring information, whereby to extend the sphere of civilization and commerce. None of the important facts developed by these movements are to be found in the old atlases, and hence the necessity for entirely new works, embracing all the results that have been obtained from the sources indicated. The atlases above named supply this necessity, and in their maps and descriptions the world, as known at the present time, is rep- resented with faithfulness and accuracy ; and the vast amount of informa- tion collected by explorers, travelers, and others, existing until now in forms accessible only to the few, are incorporated into these pages. Every effort has been used by the publisher to furnish to the world works that shall be creditable alike to the genius, learning, and mechanical skill of America, and superior in every respect to any like productions of the press, either of this country or Europe. Their utility is not limited to any class, but is co-extensive with the sphere of civilized humanity.

MAP OF THE WESTERN STATES;


Viz., Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Kentucky, Mis- souri, Iowa, and the Territories, exhibiting the base, meridian, and township lines of the United States sur- veys; the lines of the counties; the general geography of the country; the railroads, canals, and other roads; the location of cities, villages, and post-offices, etc., etc .: compiled from the most recent and accurate sources. Engraved on steel. Size, 48 by 36 inches.


Price, mounted, $3.00; and in portable form, $1.50.


This Map of the Western States is the largest, most accurate, and, at the same time, the most convenient that has hitherto been published. It em braces the great features of the country, and exhibits, at one view, the Dearing and importance of its relative parts. No one interested in the de velopment of the West can well dispense with so elaborate a portraiture of its surface ; and it will be equally interesting and useful for counting- house reference as it must be for the trader, traveler, immigrant, or resident, for which classes of our citizens it has been especially designed. In compiling this great work, it has been a chief object to have all the lines of travel, by railroad, canal, or otherwise, laid down accurately, and, in furtherance of this object, the assistance of the engineers of the several works has been obtained, and the lines have been traced from the original surveys by the surveyors of each respectively. In this respect, no former map of the West has any pretence to accuracy, and hence this publication claims preference with those who desire to acquaint themselves thoroughly with the country delineated, and its means of intercommunication.


NEW SERIES OF MAPS FOR TRAVELERS.


This series embraces maps of each of the United States, of the several British Provinces, and of Mexico, Central America, and the West Indies, exhibiting with accuracy the railroads, canals, stage routes, &c., also the principal cities, and other objects of interest, in appended diagrams.

Price, $1 00.


Actual observation and great experience are the bases of this work ; and in language and incident it has much to interest. It treats of the "Great West," its scenery, its wild sports, its institutions and its charac- teristics, material and economic. In that portion devoted to statistical illustration, the topography of sections and the adaptation of localities to particular branches of industry occupy a large space : the geology, soil, climate, powers and productions of each are considered, and their allied interests, their respective values and destinies, and their present conditions, are accurately described.


N. B .- A German edition of the "Western Portraiture" has also been issued, and will be found of essential advan- tage to immigrants from the "fatherland," as it contains all the information necessary for their gaining a knowl- edge of the states to which German immigration is chiefly directed. It contains an excellent township map.

A STATISTICAL ACCOUNT OF AMERICA ;


Being a description of the geography, resources, indus- try, institutions, and other interests pertaining to the several governments and nations thereof. By Richard S. Fisher, M. D., author of the "Book of the World," and other statistical works. (Not yet complete.) 1 vol. Svo. pp. 400. Price, bound, $2.00.


This elaborate work represents, in the tangible form of figures and de- scriptions, all the great interests which make and distinguish nations. It comprises among its subjects the geography, geology, and natural resources of all the countries of North and South America, and full statistical details of the population, industry, and general condition of each. It is a work which every American needs-sufficiently detailed in all its departments for the utilitarian, and in its style and general character not too elaborate for the college or school library. By the student it may be used as a sequel to his geographical studies, and it is perhaps surpassed by no other work in its adaptation for the family circle, as it combines with its subjects much striking and instructive information respecting the original inhabitants, the antiquities, and curiosities of the continents to which its descriptions specially refer. No one, indeed, who is possessed of the maps of America, ought to be without this work, which so lucidly fills up the outlines they depict.


PANTOGRAPH OF THE WORLD ;


Being a general description of all nations and countries, their geography, resources, industry, and institutions ; together with a brief history of their rise, progress, and present condition. By Richard S. Fisher, M. D., author of the " Book of the World," and other statistical works. (Not yet complete.) 2 vols. Svo. pp. 400, 416.


Price, bound, $3.50.


This is a work of universal utility, and, from its accuracy of detail, must become a STANDARD in geographical literature. It contains a full resume of all the great interests of nations, and describes, in concise language, the distinguishing features of the families of mankind, their origin, languages, customs, religions, pursuits, and characters. The vast amount of statis- tical information it contains has been derived from the most recent and authentic sources-principally from official documents referring to the year 1850, and hence, from the uniformity of the statistical series used in its compilation, comparison is more easy, and the results more lucidly por- trayed. As a text-book for colleges and high schools, or as a work of refer- ence in public and private libraries, it is invaluable, and in many respects its superiority as a "book for the people" generally is too apparent to be mistaken. It is in fact a companion to the Map of the World. It describes where the map demarks, and makes apparent to the mind what the latter only typifies to the eye.

A NEW AND COMPLETE STATISTICAL AND GENERAL GAZETTEER


OF THE


UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,


FOUNDED ON AND COMPILED FROM


Official Federal and State Returns, and the Census of 1850.


BY RICHARD SWAINSON FISHER, M.D.,


Author of the " Book of the World;" "Progress of the U. States," a "Statistical Account of America," etc., etc. ; also, literary editor of "Colton's American Atlas," and editor of the " American Railway Guide."


THE " STATISTICAL GAZETTEER" describes and sums up all the prominent and material interests that make and distinguish the sev- eral political and civil divisions of the country ; the physical peculi- arities, the mineral and other resources, the capacities for agriculture, manufactures, commerce, and other industrial pursuits, and the pres- ent condition of each section, in accordance with the ascertainments of the Seventh Census, taken in 1850, and other federal and state re- turns. Great attention has also been paid to works of internal im- provement.


In compiling this work, two extremes, noticeable in Gazetteers hitherto published, have been carefully avoided : the one of which has been to give a mere catalogue of names; and the other, to select for description only such places as, by their historical greatness, their extensive manufactures, or other special interests, have gained a notorious position. This Gazetteer notices each state, county, city, village, and natural object, at such proportional length as its import- ance demands, and in that terse and judiciously compressed style so desirable in books of this description, excluding all irrelevant detail, and dwelling only on the most prominent and interesting features. It thus commends itself to all classes, occupying, as it does, a posi- tion between the abstruse and popular, retaining the precision of the one, without its detail, and the interest of the other, without its vagaries. It is an eminently practical work, and to the commercial man, the traveler, and statist, must be an indispensable companion.


The work is published in one volume, royal octavo, containing about 960 pages. and is strongly bound in leather.


Price Three Dollars and a half.
