In reproducing the present work, various additions have been thouglit desirable. For
reasons adduced in his Preface, Mr. Long inserted no boundaries in the m:ips. Impos-
sible as it may be, at this distance of time, to determine with al^solute accuracy the
limits of contiguous territories, it yet was felt that without some indication of their
position, as generally received by classical scholars, the student would frequently feel
the want of an assistance to which he had become accustomed; and they have accord-
ingly been introduced from standard authorities.
among the ancients, has seemed to render desirable the introduction of the charts col-
lected on Plate 1, showing at a glance the progress of information from the earliest
times, and enabling the student to comprehend and appreciate the ideas of the writers
of successive periods. Plate 26 has likewise been added, presenting topographical
plans, on an enlarged scale, of various places of interest, which may serve to elucidate
passages in numerous classical authors. These additions have been selected from leading
authorities, such as Kiepert, Forbiger, and Johnston.
With the view of rendering the work a convenient text-book for the student, a
condensed sketch of Classical Geography has been prefixed, compiled and adapted
principally from the recent manual of Professor Pillans, of Edinburgh. In this the
object has been, not to present a complete enumeration of places, but merely to furnish

sucli supplementary infonnatioii us cannot be embodied in the n.aps. No allusion Las
been made to Sacred Geograpliyj a subject too extensive and too important to be dis-
missed witbin the limits necessarily assigned to the sketch. In revising the Index, the
o!)portunity has occasionally been found of marking the quantity of a syllable left un-
accented by Mr. Long; and this has been done whenever practicable. In many in-
stances, however, places of little note, whose names do not occur among the poets, are
necessarily uncertain.
Every care has been taken throughout to obtain entire accuracy, in the most careful
revision of both maps and text by the gentleman who has made the additions and
superintended the press. The publishers trust that their efforts have not been misdi-
rected, and that they will be found to have succeeded in producing an Atlas in every
way suited to the increasing requirements of the improved classical scholarship of the
age.
TuE Mai^js in this Atlas have been constructed by William Hugues from the best
authorities ; and they have been engraved under his superintendence. The original
drawings and the engraved maps have been revised by George Long. No pains have
been spared to make the maps correct ; and though it is impossible to avoid some errors
in a work of this kind, it is hoped that there are not many. Such as may be discovered
will be corrected.
I The distribution of the subject-matter of this ancient Atlas differs from that of other
Atlases in several respects. The map of the Roman Provinces is one example of this;
and there are several other maps which will not be found in the common Atlases. This
Atlas is intended for the use of students both at schools and at college ; and though it
does not contain every name, it contains everything that a classical student can want.
No attempt has been made* to show the exact boundaries of the political divisions
and subdivisions of countries, which cannot be done, in small maps at least, -with
sufficient accuracy ; and in many cases it cannot be done at all. A student must learn
what these boundaries are, so far as they can be ascertained, either from works on
Ancient Geography, or from the instruction of a teacher. The best method of teaching
