 (III. to V.) contain the Histoiy of tlie Conversion of England by the Monks, 

 and may be had as a complete book, price 31s. 6d. 



" On the whole, the intellectual interest of the Count's ' Monks of the West' rests mainly 

 on this, that it is the work of a brilliant and accomplished layman and man of the world, 

 dealing with a class of characters who have generally been left to the arid professional 

 handling of ecclesiastical writers. Montalembert sees their life as a whole, and a human 

 whole ; and, with all his zeal as an amateur hagiographer, he cannot but view them with 

 some of the independence of a mind trained to letters and politics." — Pali Mall Gazette.

" Is probably the best work of the kind now jmblished." — Times. » 



"Not only are the present territorial adjustments duly registered in all these maps, but 

 the latest discoveries in Central Asia, in Africa, and America have been delineated with 

 laborious fidelity. Indeed, the ample illustration of recent discovery and of the great 

 groups of dependencies on the British Crown, renders Dr Johnston's the best of all Atlases 

 for English use." — Pall Mall Gazette. 



"He has given us in a portable form geography posted to the last discovery and the last 

 revolution." — Sattirday Picview. 



"This is Mr Keith Johnston's admirable Royal Atlas diminished in bulk and scale so as 

 to be, perhaps, faii'ly entitled to the name of ' handy,' but still not so much diminished but 

 what it constitutes an accurate and useful general Atlas for ordinary households." — Spectator. 



"The ' Handy Atlas' is thoroughly deserving of its name. Not only does it contain the 

 latest information, but its size and arrangement render it perfect as a book of reference." — 

 Standard.
