PREFACE.
'I'nrrut IS AGAIN, this year, a considerable increase in the size of the
YEAR-BoOK. This is mainly due to the additional space which has
been devoted to the smaller British Colonies. Detailed notices of
these have been appended to Great Britain. It will also be found
that much new information has been introduced on the various
systems of land-tenure in India, and a now section of .A.gricultural
Statistics added. vVhile Upper BUl'rllal1 has been incorporated in
India, Corea has been detached from China and allotted a separate
place. The results of the recent colcniul enterprises of Germany
and France, as \vell as of the new censuses of these t\VO countries,
have been ornhodied: and throughout it will be founel that there
are nlany important additions and modifications, while every effort
has been made to bring the statisticsup to the latest date.
POl' the liberal assistance I have received frorn aU quarters
from foreign representatives in England, from the Government
officials both ofour own and of foreign countries, from British re
presentatives abroad, and f1'o111 nlany private individuals-c-I beg to
return J1.1ywarmest acknowIedgments.
