Canada


Book Description

Excerpt from Canada: Its Postage Stamps and Postal Stationery Mr. John N. Morse and Mr. Edwin E. Sawyer, both of Boston, have very kindly placed their collections of post cards and envelopes, respectively, at our disposal for purposes of study. Again, the philatelic press has been diligently searched for articles, stray notes, etc., which would illumine the pathway, particularly by throwing side lights on various phases of the subject. Prominent among these were the articles on Canada by Messrs. C. B. Corwin, D. A. King and J. R. Hooper in the Metropolitan Philatelist for 1890-91, and by Mr. Donald A. King in Stanley Gibbons' Monthly Journal for 1896-97. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
