A note in the legend at lower right states: 'the area of Chinese territory on this sheet is compiled from material of doubtful value, but is probably a fair general representation of the country.' Although Japan had surrendered in 1945 and the British reclaimed their territory two weeks later, it took until 1949 for the British Government to make a firm decision not to abandon Hong Kong to the Chinese Communists. It had substantially strengthened the garrison to serve as an anti-communist deterrent, but its primary aim was to subdue internal security threats and reassure both the resident British and Hong Kong Chinese residents and bring some much-needed security and stability to the region. Chinese forces had massed on the New Territories border in October of 1949, but there was a degree of posturing and sabre-rattling in this show of strength and they would eventually withdraw.

Chubb records this rare work under the title Atlas of Modern Scotland, and may not have seen a copy of either the first edition (1826) or the present edition, as he describes only the the third edition of 1838, in his view 'a neatly prepared and clearly printed atlas'. The second part contains seven historical maps and a 'Map of Modern Scotland'; the part-title indicates that the work was issued coloured, as here, and uncoloured.

John Overton acquired John Speed's plates from Christopher Browne in about 1695, so the published date is misleading.
