description

POLAND and the Neighboring Countries according to the Languages of the Inhabitants and POLAND and the Neighboring Countries according to the Religion of the Majority

Both are from the James Wyld London-published “Atlas Containing Ten Maps of Poland Exhibiting the Political Changes That Country Has Experienced During the Last Sixty Years, From 1772 to the Present Time…Compiled from the Works of Malte-Brun, Stanislas Plater, Lelewel, Swienicki, Ruhiere, Ferrand, Balbi, Schnitzler, Hassel, L. Chodzko and Other Eminent Writers.” Note, on the “religions” map: “Polish Liefland” is “Roman Catholic,” as is today’s Belarus almost to Minsk; on the “languages” map: “Lithuanian” is shown as the majority language as far east as “Smorgonie,”  and as far south as Lida and Grodno.
