Collections of Stamps.
NEW SHEETS OF STAMPS FOR
BEGINNERS AND MEDIUM COLLECTORS.
We have just been arranging our Approval Sheets of Stamps on an entirely new and much simpler plan than formerly. The Stamps are mounted on Sheets, containing an average of 100 Stamps per Sheet. They are all arranged in the order of our New Catalogue. First, Great Britain and the Colonies, then all Foreign Countries. These Sheets contain about 5,000 different Stamps, and a Sheet of any particular country will be sent on demand. The Sheets arranged to date are over forty in number, and contain all Great Britain and the Colonies, and all Foreign Countries.
TO ADVANCED COLLECTORS.—For Collectors more advanced we have an assortment of many hundreds of small books of Choice picked Stamps of every Country or District in the World. Most of these special books contain twenty pages (5×3-1/2 inches), and can be sent by post in an ordinary registered envelope to all parts of the world. These books, as a rule, include Used and Unused Stamps, but Special Approval Books will be made up to suit individual requirements. Collectors writing for such should state if they wish for Used or Unused Stamps; if singles, pairs, or blocks of 4 are required; also, in Used Stamps, if special Postmarks are sought for. In all cases, in these books, we shall lay ourselves out to meet the special requirements of each individual client, whether the amount required be large or small.
Great Rarities are our Speciality. We have a large number of Stamps on hand from £100 to £750 each, and shall be pleased to give prices and particulars to advanced Philatelists.
We purchase really Rare Stamps at a much higher Cash Price than that paid by any other Stamp Merchant.

Grand New Variety Packets.
In order to meet the wishes of a great number of our customers, we have prepared a series of packets, as under, entirely different from one another, no stamp in any one packet being in any of the rest of the series; and the purchaser of the series of eight packets will have 1,305 extra good varieties, and no duplicates.
These packets do NOT contain any Post Cards, cut Envelopes, Fiscals, or Reprints, and are well recommended as good value, and are only a small proportion of the Catalogue value of the single stamps contained in them.

THE JUBILEE EXHIBITION PACKETS.
No. 78.—The "Queen's Portrait" Packet. 100 Stamps. Price 10s.
The Ten Shilling Packet contains 100 Unused Postage Stamps, each one bearing a likeness of Her Majesty Queen Victoria. This packet contains perfect specimens only, nearly all with original gum. This is a real bargain, but as an extra inducement to purchasers we present a specimen of a Diamond Jubilee Stamp with each packet; thus each buyer becomes a subscriber to H.R.H. the Prince of Wales' Hospital Fund.
No. 79.—The "Queen's Portrait" Packet. 100 Rare Colonials. Price £1 10s.
The Thirty Shilling Packet contains 100 rare unused Postage Stamps, each one bearing a likeness of Her Majesty Queen Victoria. The stamps in this packet are entirely different from those in No. 78, and purchasers of both will thus possess two hundred distinct varieties. Most of the English Colonies are represented by carefully-selected specimens of the higher value stamps. With this packet we present the Half-crown Diamond Jubilee Stamp; thus each purchaser subscribes that sum to H.R.H. the Prince of Wales' Hospital Fund.
No. 80.—The "Picturesque" Packet. 100 Pictures. Price 12s. 6d.
Contains 100 Unused Stamps in perfect condition, each one being especially selected for beauty, quaintness, or originality of design. Among others, we mention:
Natives Paddling on the Congo River.
Native Village and Scenery in the Congo District.
A Native Village in Djibouti. The Bridge of Sighs in Kewkiang.
Zoology is Represented By—The Elephant, the Hippopotamus, the Bird of Paradise, the Stag, the Codfish.
Three of the exquisite Portraits of Her Majesty, as depicted on the Canadian Jubilee Stamps, showing the Vignettes of the Queen in 1837 and 1897, form an appropriate addition to this choice and remarkable packet.
