The volume number corresponds to that specified in the closing words of the 24 volume. Notably, Poland (neighbouring Germany, with its one-thousand-year-old history) is not mentioned in the encyclopaedia, because at the time the imperial partitions of Poland were considered finite by the German academics of the Kingdom of Prussia as well as Austria-Hungary which existed to 1918.[3]
