Twelve Maps of the Ancient World. By Dr. Henry Kieppert.

(Williams and Norgate.)—This is the eleventh edition—equiva- lent, we are told, to the "third hundred thousand "—of this ex- cellent atlas. The twelve maps are the Ancient World with the " Orbis s. Eratosthenen " (200 B.C.) and the " Orbis s. Ptole- inteum " (150 A.D.), Persian Empire, Palestine, Western Asia, Greece (two), Italia (two), Rome, Spain, Mauritania and Africa, Great Britain and Germany, and the Roman Empire. The index contains between 7,000 and 8,000 names, and there is a special index of Roman topography.
