It is a mag nificent volume, io by 12 inches, con taining 207 plates and hundreds of maps and diagrams, which show the complete results of the census in graphic and convenient form. The majority of the maps, charts, and diagrams are in col ors, often as many as five and six colors being used on one map. The atlas is divided into four parts : Population; Vital Statistics; Agricul ture; Manufactures. The series of charts on each of these subjects is pre ceded by a chapter of explanation. The work was prepared under the supervis ion of Mr Henry Gannett, Geographer of the Twelfth Census. The atlas is a unique publication. No other government in the world issues. any similar work comparable to it. The Census Office deserves great credit for the promptness with which the atlas has been prepared and published. It may be obtained of the " Superintend ent of Public Documents, Washington, D. C.," for $4.00oo. The famous Waldseemuller map of 1507, the earliest one in existence bear ing the name of America, was exhibited for the first time in America December 18 in an address to the National Geo graphic Society by Prof. E . L . Steven son, of Rutgers College. This map was recently discovered in Germany * by Jo seph Fischer and antedates by a number of years any other map containing the word America. Fischer found it in the archives of one of the ducal castles of Prussia. The map is nine feet long. It is believed that Waldseemiiller printed I,ooo copies of this map in 1507, but as it was a wall map, all of the copies have perished except this one. *See NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE, February, 1902, page 72. 50
