Book Descriptions:
Excerpt from The United States of Poland: With Two Explanatory Maps

The people of the world only then began to ask "What is Poland? What are her frontiers, her boundaries? What the number of her people and strength?"

It was not easy to find answer to these questions.

Outside Poland itself, literature concerning that country, still pretty rich as late as fifty years ago, particularly in French and English, became in time worse than poor.

The very few modern books on the subject are either partial, written by the enemies of Poland with the view to discredit Poland in the eyes of the world, or if friendly, then very far from being exact, and accordingly unable to give a true picture of Polish reality and claims.

The average educated man, therefore, knows that in the past there existed a great Polish kingdom, that towards the end of the eighteenth century it disappeared from the map of Europe, and that later the Poles tried to recover their independence by means of a series of insurrections, - but what became of the nation afterwards and especially what the necessities and the real boundaries of Poland are at present, the average educated man does not know.

And yet it is important to know it.

It is important to know what Poland is to-day, and it is important to know what Poland should be in the future.

What Is Poland To-Day?

What is Poland to-day?

It is a vast desert, an immense ruin, a colossal cemetery.

Precious works of art, valuable books, documents, and manuscripts, all the priceless proofs of the ancient thousand years of old Polish culture have been confiscated - as the operation is diplomatically called when it is performed by an overwhelming collective force.

Several large cities have been spared, preserved for the comfort of the German or Russian guests in Poland.

But on the tremendous battle-front extending from the Baltic Sea to the southern slopes of the Carpathian Mountains, all of Russian Poland, almost the whole of Austrian, and even a portion of Prussian Poland have been totally ruined.
