NEW PRINT WITH PROFESSIONAL TYPE-SET IN CONTRAST TO SCANNED PRINTS OFFERED BY OTHERS Chats On Postage Stamps This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Excerpt from The Postage Stamps of the United States As has been previously remarked, the introduction of adhesive postage stamps in Europe was followed by a demand for similar conveniences in this country. Tut the Government was slow to accede to popular wishes and did not yield until the example had been set by the local posts and by issues of a semi-private nature on the part of certain postmasters.

Excerpt from The Avery Collection of the Postage Stamps of the World I did nothing more in stamps until about 1878 when I commenced again with Lincoln's album, and was fortunate enough to fill up most of the blank spaces, and had a very good number of rare stamps. I was. However, very disgusted with this style of collecting when I paid a visit to the Birmingham Philatelic Society and saw the method of arranging stamps on hinges and classifying perforations, and I finally decided, about 1887, to sell my collection again. I sold some portion, but as I saw some of the rarities go I changed my mind and began again with a good Senf album. As I filled up one country after another I began removing these into special albums. I had the opportunity of buying a good special collection of Australian stamps belonging to Mr. Bullock, of Australia, and added the Australian stamps I had before to these, and so made it into a much stronger and more perfect collection.
