He tells me that they have recently published a new Atlas (which he gave me a copy of) as a school book in China, Japan and Siam. It was done well, Gyth: Baitholomew of Edinburgh, who arranged "spheres of influence in Asia" at his own discretion. Only about 50 copies of the Atlas have been sold; and the Macmillan Company have already had strong remonstrance from the Chinese Legation against the indication of any spheres of influence whatever.
He came to understand that I had pressed the matter and they would in consequence withdraw the book from circulation; and would do this the more readily if the Government Schools in Hong Kong would take up the corrected Atlas which they would substitute. He said that they would be only too glad to submit proof of maps of particularly difficult countries to this Committee before publication, so that the corrections might be made.
He also told me that on page 13 they have got the Perak boundary quite according to the latest rights.
He refers to F.O. sending a copy of the telegram regarding the map in a confidential despatch No. 27/Wild saying we think the Publishers should be told that the map is entirely inaccurate & ask whether they will write to them or whether we shall make the letter.
