Notes: The HANDY VOLUME ATLAS OF THE WORLD has long enjoyed a large measure of popularity as the most complete and accurate Compendium of Geographical Information of its size published. The evidence of this continued popularity lies in the fact that, since it was first produced under the Editorship of the eminent Geographer, the late Dr. E. G. Ravenstein, no fewer than fourteen large editions have been issued. In this, the FIFTEENTH EDITION, the present Editor has endeavoured to deserve a continuance of that popularity, by making the new issue of the Atlas a complete SURVEY of POST-WAR GEOGRAPHY, exhibiting, in their natural order, the territorial changes and political changes throughout the World effected by the Peace Treaties and Agreements following the Great War. -- Excerpt from Preface, p. v
