The Scripture Atlas. (W. and A. K. Johnston.)—This consists of
sixteen maps, illustrating the course of human history as it is giveit in the Scriptures. The distribution of races according to the ethnology of Genesis, the Old Testament view of the geography of Gentile nations, the Exodus, modern Egypt and Sinai, Palestine at various epochs, the countries of the Captivity, plans of Jerusalem— ancient and modern—of the Tabernacle with the encampment of the Tribes, and of the Temple of Solomon, and the journeyings of St. Paul, are among the subjects of the maps, which, though the size is sometimes of necessity scarcely adequate to the subject, are excellent. The book is likely to be most useful, even though we may not think, with the late Bishop of Exeter, that a child's knowledge of Scripture should be limited to the geography of Scripture.
