Bibliographie: Atlas de Finlande

By Edg Mercinier·

Summary

This review discusses the Atlas of Finland, a comprehensive geographical publication produced by the Geographical Society of Finland. Built on the 1899 edition, it expands to 55 maps and extensive text covering physical geography, population, and civilization. The author praises chapters on the Finnish lake plateau, marshes, forests, and Diet elections, noting the detailed demographic, disease, and industrial statistics. A minor criticism is raised: the data lack international comparison. Overall, the atlas is regarded as an exemplary reference work, well received by the Library of the Geographical Society of Geneva. The review underscores the importance of geographical self-knowledge for national progress.
