Excerpt from Labberton's Universal History
The Plates of my former Atlas having been destroyed by fire, I hereby offer the public an essentially new Historical Atlas, accompanied by a compendium of general history, thus forming a basis for that geographic treatment of history which is essential to a clear under standing of human society.
For the last twenty years' I have been engaged on a large historical and genealogical atlas, which unfortunately has reached such dimensions as to make its publication impossible.
