Abstract
THE new edition of this indispensable work of reference appears with its unfailing regularity, and has, as usual, undergone complete revision in its voluminous statistics. As the world settles down there are fewer changes in territorial jurisdiction to record than in recent years, and the number of independent states has ceased to grow. The section on Arabia has been recast and contains a great deal of useful information of recent date. More Russian statistics are now given than was possible a few years ago. The bibliographies attached to each state are a valuable feature of the book, and they have shared the careful revision. Coloured maps show the new boundary between Britain and Italy in Jubaland, and the allied zones of occupation on the Rhine. The introductory tables give statistics of world production of coal, iron, and other commodities and facts concerning the League of Nations. In spite of its 1530 pages, the volume is not two inches thick, which adds to its convenience for reference.
