The Atlas of Ancient and Classical Geography eBook

This eBook from the Gutenberg Project consists of approximately 7 pages of information about The Atlas of Ancient and Classical Geography.
Atlas, however is not defined by any possible extension of Everyman’s Library.  The maps of Palestine in the time of our Lord and under the older Jewish dispensation, of Africa and of Egypt, and that, now newly added, of the Migrations of the Barbarians, and the full index, give it the value of a gazetteer in brief of the ancient world, well adapted to come into the general use of schools where an inexpensive work of the kind in compact form has long been needed.

The present Atlas has the advantage of being the result of the successive labour of many hands.  Its original author was Dr. Samuel Butler, sometime head-master of Shrewsbury school and afterwards Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry.  He edited Aeschylus, and was in his way a famous geographer.  The work was at a later date twice revised, and its maps were re-drawn, under the editorship of his son.  It has now been again revised and enlarged to suit the special needs of this series.
