NEW SERIES OF SCHOOL-ROOM MAPS.

NELSON'S WALL MAPS.

Price 12s. 6d. each, Mounted on Rollers and Varnished. THE MAPS in this Series are beautifully executed in a bold and

T effective style for use in the Class room, and will be found to pos

sess advantages for Educational purposes over any hitherto published. ENGLAND AND WALES. With the Railways. Divided into Squares of 100 English Miles,--the whole Map forming a square of 400 miles. The Counties are coloured according to their River Basins.

THE BRITISH ISLANDS: In connection with the Continent of Europe. Divided into Squares of 100 English Miles, - the whole Map forming a square of 1000 miles.

A Hand-book to this Map, for the use of Pupils, is just ready, Price 3d. THE WORLD (in Two Maps). 1. The Eastern Hemisphere. 2. The Western Hemisphere.

Each of these Maps forms a Circle four feet in Diameter. They are so large that, with the exception of Europe, of which a separate Map is in preparation, the General Geography of all the great Divisions of the Globe can be taught from them. The advantage of this for Educational purposes will be apparent to all practically acquainted with the work of the School-room.

Another valuable feature in these Maps is their being so constructed that the direct Distance of any place from London (in English Miles) can be seen at once.

For example, from the Map of the Eastern Hemisphere, it will be seen that Naples is 1000 miles from London, Calcutta nearly 5000, Pekin about 5100, Sydney about 10,600, &c. &c.

From the Map of the Western Hemisphere it will be seen that Quebec is about 3100 miles from London, New York about 3500, Mexico about 5600, Rio Janeiro about 5800, Cape Horn about 8400, &c. &c.

These Maps are enlarged copies of the Maps of a NEW ATLAS OF THE WORLD in preparation by T. NELSON AND SONS, and in regard to which the following, among many other testimonies, have already been received by the Publishers:

From the Rev. Canon Mosely.

"I have seen enough of these Maps to feel assured that you have introduced a great improvement in Map-making for popular and educational purposes. The plan of squares of hundreds and thousands of miles cannot but commend itself to general approval, for the facilities which it affords of estimating at sight the distances of places from one another, and the superficial measurement of different portions of the earth's surface."

From Sir John Herschel.

"I have seldom or never seen Maps more beautifully executed.

The idea

of dividing each Map into squares of a hundred and a thousand English miles, and of inserting circles indicating the distances from London, is a happy and useful one for popular Maps."
