Preface to the fifth edition: this edition contains a new plate showing outline of the United States in which the Lambert projection is superimposed on the Mercator projection on a scale sufficiently large to illustrate the difference in their properties and resulting delineation. Figures illustrating the nature of the Mercator projection as compared with the perspective projection upon a tangent cylinder have also been added with explanatory test. A new equal-area projection of the hemispheres by Dr. Oscar S. Adams is brought to notice and is shown on Plate XIV. The interesting property of isoperimetric curves (curves of true scale) which is inherent on all equal-area projections, is presented by illustration, (see Plate III), and also by figure No. 59, in its application to an Albers projection. Other features, more or less incidental, including Tissot's Indicatrix as applied to the sinusoidal projection, have been illustrated or briefly noted.
