A New Idea in 

 Atlas Making 



<J Hammond's Comprehensive Atlas of the 

 World is a compact, octavo book, convenient to 

 handle, bound like a Bible in genuine flexible 

 leather. It overcomes the objections to ordinary, large, flat, 

 unwieldy atlases. It will ornament a library table or fit in your 

 book-case shelf. 



<I It contains large scale maps of the States 

 of the Union, Provinces of Canada and every Coun- 

 try of the World, beautifully engraved, printed in 

 four colors, easily readable and showing most complete de- 

 tails. Each map occupies two, four, six or eight pages, as 

 required, realizing the long sought ideal in atlas making, 

 large scale maps in a practical book of handy size. 



<I Never before in the history of the World 

 has a good atlas been so constantly useful and val- 

 uable as now. The warring nations of Europe are 

 making history. You cannot intelligently follow the World's 

 news without dependable, large-scale maps at hand. "Yes," 

 ou observe, "But when the war is over the atlases now pub- 

 ished will be out of date." True, all but this one will be. 

 That's where the "Self-revising" feature comes in.
