EXTRACTS FROM THE PRESS.
THE present exciting struggle going on in America renders the possession of detailed Maps an absolute neces-
sity to those who desire to understand the strategies of that campaign. We had nothing on this side of the
Atlantic before this importation from New York, calculated to give the faintest notion of the position of the con-
tendJng armies, and we therefore hail Cotton's series as an invaluable hoon."— United Senice Gaxette.

" They give distinctly a mass of detail which could not be included in any ordinary Map — well and clearly
engTaved." — Illustrated London News.
"The scale on which these Maps are projected has enabled the engraver to introduce many features unknown
in other maps." — Stando.rd.
"Supplying the precise information in wh4ch other maps are deficient." — Spectator,
