_N.B.--This Atlas has had by far the largest sale of any collection of maps published in English or any other language._
"To notice adequately this extraordinary work is beyond our power. Unless such a feat had been done, we should have doubted if it were possible."--_Academy._
"The unmounted form of Messrs. Letts's Atlas is beyond all question the cheapest full compendium of geographical information to be obtained, and the mounted form one of the most handsome."--_Saturday Review._
"For general reference in all matters connected with commercial geography, it would be difficult to point to a more useful publication than this atlas."--_Royal Geographical Society's Proceedings._
"Remarkable alike for the number and quality of its maps, the variety of modes in which the aid of colour is called into requisition to convey not merely information regarding geographical and political divisions, or facts in physical geography in its widest sense, but numerous other kinds of valuable information."--_Daily News._
"The information is brought up to the latest date, is closely packed, and clearly printed; the only fault, if any, being that it is redundant.... Letts's atlas may be pronounced a durable and exhaustive one."--_Spectator._
"Both the physical features, and the main commercial, agricultural, and mineral products of different countries, with the chief lines of navigation and of railway and telegraph, overland and submarine cables, are shown with remarkable distinctness.... The drawing and printing are beautifully clear; the colouring is significant and agreeable."--_Illustrated London News._
"'Letts's complete Popular Atlas' is certainly one of the very best, if not actually the best popular work of its kind; in several particulars it is an improvement on other atlases."--_Graphic._
