Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sweden, Vol. 1: Historical and Statistical Handbook; Land and People As the first edition of the handbook had been published in French and English translations, the primary object was to produce a German issue principally in view of the Baltic Exhibition by the beginning of the year 1914. By securing the collaboration of some hundreds of authors, and by taking other appropriate measures, the Editor was successful in carrying out the plan laid down, so that the German issue was ready for distribution at the beginning of May, 1914. The original plan was for the Swedish issue to be brought out next, and the English issue last; but, on the repre scutations of the Swedish Executive Committee appointed to arrange and organize the participation of Sweden in the Panama Pacific International Exposition, San Francisco, 1915, the Government had commanded that a certain number of copies of the English issue should be placed at the disposal of the Executive Committee, and that, for this purpose, the work should be reorganized with the object of hastening the production of the English issue, by giving it precedence to the Swedish issue. And by means of pushing forward the work as rapidly as possible, the Editor has, in a great measure, succeeded in achieving this object, despite some complica tions resulting from the general political situation and other circumstances.
