The Biblical Series of the Family Cabinet Atlas has just been completed with the Sixth Part, containing the Title-page, Contents, Preface, Plans of Jerusalem, the Temple, and Maps of Palestine, according to Josephus and the Apocrypha. These occupy seven plates, all exquisitely engraved on steel. There is, moreover, a letter-press Index of reference to the places in the Maps, printed on fine plate paper, and occupying 120 pages. Or, this portion rather deserves the distinctive title adopted by the editors, viz. "A New General Index, exhibiting, at one view, all that is geographically and historically interesting in the Holy Scriptures." It presents such a digest as we rarely witness, and to give the reader some idea of its laborious preparation, we select a specimen, the matter being arranged in a tabular or columnar form, thus: _Scriptural Name_--JEZREAL, Valley, or Plain. _Classic Name_--Esdraelon. _Tribe_--Issachar. _Country_--Canaan. _Scriptural Reference_--Judges, vi. 33. _No. of Map_.--ix. _Modern Name_--Merdj--Ibn Aamer. _Distance and bearing from Jerusalem_--40 N.b.E. _Lat. North_--32.27. _Long. East_--35.25. _Quarter_--Asia. _Country_--Palestine. _Province_--Akka. _Remarks_--Here the spirit of the Lord descended upon Gideon, and here the Lord gave him the sign he required by causing the fleece to be wet or dry at his bidding. The projector and artist is Mr. Thomas Starling, and its execution, whether graphic or literary, is calculated to give the public a very high opinion of his taste, talent, and application. * * * * * GEOGRAPHY. Mr. Dowling, of Woodstock Boarding-School, has put Goldsmith's _Grammar of Geography_ into question and answer for junior pupils, or, rather, he has seized on the simplest part of the information contained in the above work, and added a chapter on latitude and longitude. We hope the attention of teachers will be directed to his Compendium, as it appears to leave nothing to be desired in facilitating the progress of the learner. * * * * * OUTLINES OF KNOWLEDGE. Mr. Ince, whose _Outline of English History_ we noticed a few weeks since, has been stimulated to the production of an _Outline of General Knowledge_. His present Compendium is satisfactory as a little book of Facts, and may serve as well for a _whet_ to the memory of adults as for the tuition of children. * * * * * CURIOSITIES OF PHRENOLOGY. The Third Edition of a Catechism of Phrenology, published at Glasgow, induces us to pick out a few of the author's _facts_, and we accordingly select the developements of the Feelings and Faculties. Thus, of Amativeness, the organs are very large in the casts of Mitchell, Dean, and Raphael. In Dr. Hette, very small. Philoprogenitiveness, or love of children--the Hindoos, Negroes, and Charibs.
