Excerpt from A Handbook of Roumania: Prepared by the Geographical Section of the Naval Intelligence Division, Naval Staff, Admiralty
The first Object Of this volume is to retain a record Of Rou'mania, in its geographical and allied aspects, as it was before the war, which has temporarily obscured or obliterated its economic importance, its normal social conditions, and other features. An attempt has been made to superpose upon the description Of the country on these lines an indication of some of the more marked effects of the war upon it, and by these means to point to some of the more urgent problems of reconstruction and the direction in Which, judging from previous conditions, such reconstruction may lead. But in View of the upheaval Of the past two years, it is Obvious that the information contained in this book in its present form must be in many respects partial and incomplete.
The Admiralty will be glad to receive additions or cor rections.
