ublication commences with
THE GEOGRAPHY OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE;
To form Two Volumes, with Steel Engravings and numerous Coloured Maps;
And to be completed in Twelve Monthly Parts, at Half-a-Crown.
"The Part now before us is the commencement of the 'Cyclopaedia of
Geography.' The articles which appear in the present number convey a
large amount of useful information in a compact and intelligent form.
They are evidently the productions of competent writers, well acquainted
with the present state of geographical science. The Maps are beautifully
distinct. Fulness, compactness, and clearness--the great requisites of a
Cyclopaedia--are here combined in a high degree."--_The Athenaeum_, No.
1175.
"The Part before us promises well. Books published subsequently to the
'Penny Cyclopaedia' have been consulted, to bring down the information to
the latest date; and many contributions from local residents of places
in this country enrich particular articles with full knowledge."--_The
Spectator_, No. 1140.
