The (Junior) Stamp Collector:—The latter years of this journal are full of interesting articles, well worth perusing. This magazine was started as The Junior Stamp Collector, and continued as such till the end of Vol. III., when it was changed to The Stamp Collector, but as the volumes are numbered consecutively, they are both indexed under Stamp Collector.

Stamp Collector’s Guardian:—This work is purely for juniors, and is after the style of the Junior Stamp Collector. It had a short life, and is included to show the efforts which have been made to cater for the younger generation of collectors.

Young Stamp Collector:—The same applies to this as to the preceding work.

Morley’s Philatelic Journal:—Contains some very fine contributions on general philatelic subjects by good writers, but is mainly given over to Fiscal Philately in all its branches, to which it forms a unique reference.

The above list of fourteen separate magazines, comprising a matter of 119 volumes, represents a good deal of arduous work, in the execution of which the writer has taken a great deal of pleasure and gained a great deal of profitable information. This work has been materially assisted by the kindness of others who have lent him magazines of which he does not possess a copy, or supplied him with missing parts to complete those he had incomplete. With regard to this he has specially to thank Mr. E. D. Bacon to whom he is indebted for the loan of the Stamp Collector’s Review, a very scarce magazine; also Mr. Appleby and Mr. Marsh for the loan of various parts and volumes during his work. While knowing that this Index is necessarily a very sketchy one, the writer hopes that it may prove to be a temporary help to those philatelists who have found the hopelessness of wading through number after number, and volume after volume, in search of information on their pet speciality; also, that it may be a foundation for a more complete and lasting Index to Philatelic Literature.
