T is purposed to commence, on the 1st of October 1818, a re-publicaon of the NEW GENERAL ATLAS, in Monthly Parts. To delineate the Geography of our Globe on a large scale, drawings ere made to correspond in size with the works of the celebrated D'Anville, › form the largest Atlas published on a uniform plan; from these Drawgs, Engravings have been executed by the first Artists in the Kingdom, z. Hewitt, Hall, Neele, Dassauville, Menzies, Clerk, Moffat, Lizars, &c. The information on which the accuracy of these drawings depend, is rived principally from Maps published in the Countries they reprent, as France from Cassini-Germany from Chauchard-Spain from opez-Holland from Zepp-Prussia, Russia, and other European ingdoms from their Government Surveys. Asia does not present such facilities for perfecting her Geography; but portant improvements on former Maps have been derived from the rvey made of the South Coast of Asia Minor, by Beaufort; from the tices of Kinneir and Malcolm, relative to Persia; from the discoveries sulting from the Nepaul war, and from the late Expedition to China, The African division, in addition to the former best authenticated inmation, has had the recent discoveries made by the Travellers, sent out Societies formed for promoting discoveries, in the interior of that Quar, down to Captain Tuckey's attempt to ascend the Zaire, or Congo. The North American Continent has had numerous additions from Suris made under the Government of the United States; and the Southern ision of that Quarter is corrected by the Geographical notices of mboldt and Bonpland. The Voyages of Cook, Perouse, Flinders, &c. have nearly withdrawn veil that so long hung over the Southern division of the Globe. The acks and Discoveries of these and other Navigators have been marked h care and attention, and the Publishers look forward to the possibility dding the results of the two Expeditions now fitting out, one to reach North Pole, the other to pass from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. This Work will contain 74 Maps, a Memoir of the Progress of Geohy, a Chapter on Physical Geography, a View of the Comparative ght of Mountains, and a Comparative View of the Length of Rivers; a Consulting Index, to facilitate the finding out of the principal places.
