ILLUSTRATED GENERAL GAZETTEER.

In One Volume, Imperial 8vo.

AN Illustrated Gazetteer, founded on a new and original principle, is in course of preparation.

One of the distinguishing features of this work, will be the employment of a progressive series of Topographical Vignettes, through the medium of which, Description will be combined with practical Illustration.

By the adoption, likewise, of a novel species of arrangement, an immense range and facility of Reference will be afforded within a comparatively limited compass; and in lieu of the present cumbrous and teasing system of isolated alphabetical sequence, the forthcoming work will give places, cities, and natural features in their connected and collateral relation.

A detailed prospectus will be shortly issued.

TO FIND A PLACE IN THE LIST.

How, in the first instance, should we look for Cape Herschel, and at once regardless of latitude and longitude, obtain a key to it, and to 482 other adjacent places?

Look for the name in the alphabetical list: for example Herschel, Cape. In the first column stands B iv-the square in which the place is situated upon the map.

In the second column appears 9 the compartment of that square where the place will be found.

In the third column o (West) stands the symbol by which the exact locality in the department is indicated.

So that the person in search of a place reads (in this instance) B—four— nine-West; and burthens his memory with these data only whilst turning from the list to the map.
