A Collection of Atlases. There recently came to the 

 library of Ohio State University a two volume work of IGOO pages, 

 giving titles, for, and in sonic cases short notes about, the atlases 

 now in the Hbrary of Congress at Washington There are over 

 3,400 of these atlases covering a very wide range of data. It 

 would seem that nearly everything could be reduced to a map. 

 There are atlases astronomical, cartographical, commercial, 

 ecclesiastical, geological, historical, ethnographical, physical and 

 political; business, real estate and military atlases; general atlases, 

 atlases of discovery, of exploration, of boundaries, of oceans, riv- 

 ers, harbors, crops, and many resources; atlases of population, 

 diseases, and many vital statistics. 



Twelve pages and ninety titles are devoted to the atlases of 

 Ohio, beginning with Walling's Atlas of Ohio in 1808, followed 

 by the Geological vSurvey Atlas, and Hardesty's historical and 

 military encyclopedias each with an extensive atlas. Then come 

 most of the counties with atlases and plat-books, followed by 

 a series of city atlases. 



For New York State there are 137 atlases, including 28 devoted 

 to the city alone. 



Almost any scientist or philosopher could find basal material 

 for research, charted here and ready for comparative studies.
