A SERIES OF NEW AND ACCURATE MAPS, CONSTRUCTED ON THE BEST AUTHORITIES, AND VERIFIED BY COLLATION WITH THE DISCOVERIES OF MODERN TRAVELLERS: FORMING A COMPLETE HISTORICAL AND DESCRIPTIVE ATLAS OF SCRIPTURE GEOGRAPHY. By WILLIAM HUGHES, F.R.G.S. The numerous attempts successively made to illustrate the geography of the Bible have been, in too many instances, based upon mere _conjectures_, sometimes supported only by vague etymological analogies drawn from the writings of Greek and Roman antiquity, and often only showing how little the framers of them really _knew_ of Palestine, but which have, in almost all cases, been disproved by the appliance of modern observation. This would have been of comparatively little importance if, as new facts were acquired, they had been constantly made use of, and applied as tests of the worth of preconceived hypotheses. But it has unfortunately happened that, either from the ignorance or carelessness of the greater number of the compilers of _Scripture Atlases_, a large amount of real and available information has either not yet been applied to the illustration of the Geography of the Sacred Volume, or else it has been mixed up with long-received conjectures, in such a manner as to make the ascertained _truths_ subservient to the hypotheses, instead of confirming or rejecting the latter, according as it corresponded or not with the former. The result has, of course, been to confuse rather than elucidate the subject; and the great majority of the Maps professing to illustrate the Bible, mostly copied from others of a similar description, and inheriting in succession the absurdities and puerile conjectures of former times, present, accordingly, a mass of confusion, in which it is impossible for the inexperienced student to separate the true from the false, or the known from the conjectural.
