time he returned the season was rapidly advancing, and the opinion of 

 the most experienced was decided that Captain Inglefield, in the Phcenixy 

 should no longer delay his return home, by waiting for Sir Edward 

 Belcher's arrival at Beechey Island. 



On the 23rd of August the Phoenix left Beechey Island. She touched 

 at Disco, at Lievely taking in coals, and at Hollesteinburgh, where they 

 put in, to complete their astronomical observations. At both places 

 they met with Esquimaux, and joined with them in the dance and song. 

 The women were clean and neat, and peculiarly simple and modest in 

 their conduct. 



On the 4th of October, Captain Inglefield and Lieutenant Cresswell 

 landed at Thurso, at the extreme north of Scotland. Fifty-three hours' 

 travelling brought them to London. On Friday, October 7th, they 

 arrived at the Admiralty with tidings that the geographical question of 

 the long sought for North-West passage had been satisfactorily solved.

The President of tlie Royal Geographical Society, in his annual address 

 to the members, in speaking of this Atlas, says : — " Mr. Betts has published an 

 Atlas containing some New Features, and rendered extremely valuable by a 

 most copious Index comprising nearly 55,000 names of places. In addition to the 

 latitudes and longitudes usually given, there is an arrangement, by reference to 

 which, the situation of any required place can be easily learned, &c., &c. Several 

 entirely new maps of India, Canada, Polynesia, &c., are also introduced." 



The great advantage of the mode of reference alluded to in the foregoing para- 

 graph, and which is peculiar to this Index, can only be fully appreciated by those 

 who have frequent occasion to constilt an Atlas. By means of it, the eye is almost 

 instantaneously directed to the point of the map where the name appears, and the 

 whole object is usually accomplished in less time than is necessarily expended in 

 ascertaining the projeclional proportions of a map, preparatory to reference on the 

 old system. 



In the present edition of the Atlas, a large number of new and highly important 

 maps have been introduced (making in all Sixty-four), and the whole work has 

 undergone a thorough and careful revision. The Maps of En(;land, Wales, 

 Scotland, and Ireland, are on an unusually large scale, and extraordinary care 

 has been exercised in order to exhibit the various lines of Railroad with minute- 

 ness and accuracy: the Turnpike and principal Cross-roads, INIoimtains, Rivers, 

 Canals, &c., are also carefully delineated ; and some idea of the elaborate character 

 of the work may be inferred from the fact, that the ]\lap of England and Wales alone 

 contains nearly 9,000 names. 



The Maps of the British Colonies are also on a large scale ; and a continuous 

 care will be maintained to introduce all new discoveries .ivid settlements as they may 

 occur; and the proprietor feels confident that no work o .he kind, cither as respects 

 price or quality, will be found more deserving of public favour.
