A RELIEVO MAP OF INDIA. 



BY 



HENRY F. BRION. 



In Frame, '2 Is. 



A map of this kind brings before us such a picture of the surface of a given 

 country as no ordinary map could ever do. To the mind's eye of the average 

 Englishman, India consists of ' the plains ' and 'tlie hills,' chiefly of the former, 

 the hills being limited to tlie Himalayas and the Nilgiris. Tlie new map will at 

 least enable him to correct his notions of Indian geography. It combines the 

 usual features of a good plain map of the country on a scale of 150 miles to the 

 inch, with a faithful representation of all the uneven surfaces, modelled on a scale 

 thirty-two times the horizontal one; thus bringing out into clear relief the com- 

 parative heiglits and outlines of all the liill-ranges, and showing broad tracts of 

 uneven ground, of intermingled hill and valley, which a common map of the 

 same size would hardly indicate, except to a very practised eye. The plains of 

 Upper India are reduced to their true proportions; the Central Provinces, 

 Malwa, and Western Bengal reveal their actual ruggedness at a glance ; and 

 Southern India, from the Vindhyas to Cape Comorin, proclaims its real height 

 above the sea-level. To the historical as well as tiie geograpliical student such a 

 map is an obvious and important aid in tracing the course of past campaigns, in 

 lealising the conditions under whicii successive races carried their arms or settle- 

 ments through the Peninsula, and in comprehending the difference of race, climate, 

 and physical surroundings which make up our Indian Empire. Set in a neat 

 frame of maplewood, the map seems to attract the eye like a prettily-coloured 

 picture, and its price, a guinea, should place it within the reach of all who care to 

 combine the useful with the ornamental." — Home News.
