Church Missionary Atlas

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Unavoidable delays have occurred in the production of the present edition since General Lake's death, but they have at least conduced to the completeness of the work. The majority of the maps were printed off in his lifetime, and under his di rection; and of these, the following are new z - Africa, Yoruba, Niger, East Africa, Palestine, Persia and Afghanistan, Western India, Tinnevelly, Travancore, Telugu country, che-kiang, fuh-kien besides which north-west America was extensively revised. The following new maps have been added since General Lake's death -the World (showing its religious divisions), the Route from Zanzibar to the Victoria N yanza, the Language Map of India, Lower Bengal, the Punjab, Japan, British Columbia. In the maps of Africa and East Africa, some additions have been made upon the already printed copies, to embody more recent discoveries; but it has not been possible to make them quite perfect. The letterpress, of which General Lake wrote or drafted about two-thirds, has been completed from various sources. Special mention should be made of the valuable assistance rendered by R. N. Cust, Esq., late of the Bengal Civil Service, in the preparation of the Map and Chart of Indian Languages, and the accompanying article.
