Book Description

Excerpt from Mason's Monthly Coin and Stamp Collectors' Magazine, Vol. 5: August, 1871 Knowing Sir Walter's writing as well as we know our own, we have no doubt that this particle of an autograph is authentic. Mr. Moxey received it when Scott had been nearly two years dead; and therefore not, as we have seen it stated, from Sir Walter himself. The photograph, neatly mounted. Is on sale, price one dollar, at the jewelry store of Robbins, Clark'& Biddle, 1124 Chestnut street, who also have the original on view. That, it seems, Is purchasable for three hundred dollars; if this price had been Set down as three dol lars it would have been the full value of the article. Autograph collectors recognize four grades, viz; 10. The autograph letter signed and dated. 2. The autograph written inothe third per son. 3. A mere signature. 4. Writing Without any Signature.
