Abstract
THIS valuable volume with its mass of carefully revised statistical information appears with its usual regularity. The arrangement follows that of previous years, and the size of the book is essentially the same. No new States have made their appearance, though the cession of Manchuria occurred in time to be noted among the addenda. New population figures are given for Great Britain, Canada, France, Italy, and many other States the census of which fell in the year under review. In order to indicate more clearly the trend of trade of Great Britain with other countries, re-export figures have been added to the tables summarising the trade of each country. The usual introductory tables are given of world production of petroleum, coal, iron and steel, gold, etc. The two coloured maps show respectively the railways of Manchuria (now Manchow-kuo) and the Zuider Zee reclamation. In the latter, the completion of the Northwest Polder marks the success of the first step in the scheme. The lists of books, official and non-official, given for each State are one of the most useful features of this reference volume.
