Strona 167 - JOHNSTON'S PHYSICAL ATLAS — (Continued.) to an extent, and with an effect, hitherto never contemplated. The contents of the many volumes, formerly the sole depositories of information regarding the different kingdoms of nature, have been condensed and reproduced with a conciseness, precision, completeness, and promptitude of application altogether unattainable by any other agency. The elegant substitute of linear delineation registers the most complicated results in the most perspicuous form, affords...

Strona 76 - ... not striking for their beauty, are white, and produced from large, horizontal, green sheaths. The footstalks of the leaves, which are somewhat shorter than the leaves themselves, yield a copious supply of fresh water, very grateful to the traveller, on having their...
Strona 244 - Very different is it with the following phenomena. From the southern point of Africa to the North Cape in Mageroe, the Heaths extend throughout the Old World, merely leaping over the proper tropical regions.
