 The CHRISTIAN UNION says of the Ancient History: 
 
 " \Vhether viewed with reference to its substance or its form 
 the selection and arrangement of its matter, the style of its composition, 
 or the mechanical dress in which all are presented to the public it 
 is a genuine book. It may be fearlessly accepted at its own valuation, 
 and more." 
 
 The NATION says : 
 
 " Thalheimer's Manual of Ancient History will be found the 
 most servicealjfe wwk-w+thin the i-pgrVi nf r^r srhnnK It has, indeed, 
 
 no rival worth itfmwnjhg." L J ^/\RY

 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 ^HE maps comprised in this Atlas were first pub- 
 -*- lished in Thalheimer's Manuals of History. 
 While still serving their original purpose in connec- 
 tion with those books, we have been led to believe 
 that they may be useful in the form of a hand-atlas 
 for reference. 
 
 The necessity of full, clear, and accurate maps in all 
 historical publications has long been fully recognized 
 by the reading public ; yet most of the histories in 
 our libraries are utterly deficient in this particular. 
 
 In Germany this deficiency has been remedied by 
 the publication of Spruner's gigantic Historical Atlas, 
 and of numerous other smaller atlases of the same 
 character but less expensive. 
 
 For the English reader, no atlas rivaling Spruner's 
 
 has ever been published, and our smaller historical

 IV INTRODUCTION. 
 
 atlases have been at the same time costly and in- 
 adequate. 
 
 While it is not claimed that this Atlas will supply 
 the want of a full historical atlas on the grand scale 
 of Spruner's, the reception given to the maps in their 
 original form has persuaded us that they may have a 
 more extended usefulness in their present form.
