“A new handbook is about to appear, with the title, ‘The Standard Guide to Postage-Stamp Collecting, with their Values and Degrees of Rarity,’ a work upon which the authors, Messrs. Bellars and Davie, have been engaged for three years. It will include an account of the Mormon Stamp issued by Brigham Young in 1852.”—London Review.
“Unexceptionable in the quality of the paper, clearness of print, &c., it affords an addition to the scientific knowledge attainable by means of the study of postage stamps. A table of characters affords the possessor an opportunity of obtaining an acquaintance with the shape and comparative rarity of stamps. This insight into the marketable value and scarcity of postage stamps is a new feature in books on the subject. The exact words of the inscription on the stamps is greatly conducive to facility of identification, and the queer characters on the Moldavian, Russian, &c., stamps, copied without error, demonstrate the extreme care with which the work must have been got up. The index and money table appended will be found very convenient.”—The Stamp Collectors’ Magazine.
