DescriptionMap of the world, depicting all of the continents except Antarctica. Countries are depicted, labeled and divided by broken solid lines, with cities denoted by circles. Color is used to show the spread of the following religions: Protestant, Roman Catholic, Greek Church, "Mahometanism," and "Paganism." Missionary stations are denoted with crosses. A table below the map, titled "Extent and Population," provides the size in square miles and population of Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South Americas, and Polynesia.
Five vignettes appear below the map depicting scenes meant to represent the Protestant, Muslim, pagan, Roman Catholic and Jewish religions. Below this is a table, titled, "A Chart Exhibiting the Progress of Christianity from the birth of our Saviour to the Present time," that shows the incidence of Christianity versus paganism in the countries of Europe, Asia, Africa, South America and North America, from AD 100 to 1800.
