1 FrB THE POSTAGE STAMPS.. OF THE PHILIPPINES.. By J. MURRAY BARTELS, Capt. F. L. PALMER, U. S. A., and F: APTHORP FOSTER. rjtrjtrjt After many months of diligent labor and research the work on the' handbook of the Stamps of the Philippines has at last been completed, and the authors are happy to announce its appearance at an early date. It is expected to fill a long felt want, especially as the subject is one which will interest all patriotic American collectors. greater far East. At the same time the stamps of few countries afford difficulties than those of our new acquisition in the '- The numerous surcharged issues have never before been properly described and much doubt has existed eoncerning the varieties of dies used for surcharging. Thie fact made it very difficult to detect forgeries. An absolute chronological arrangement of all stamps authorized for postal use has never been successfully attempted. The total number (as far as known) of each stamp issued will be of considerable interest.

2 Perhaps the most valuable feature is the extensive description of all known counterfeits, exceeding 80 in number. The differences are carefully described and extensively illustrated by photographic reproductions, With the assistance of this information collectors will be able to tell the genuine from the counterfeit without much difficulty. The work, a book of about 100 pages, is illustrated by over 150 half-tone reproductions of stamps, printed on the best coated paper. N either expense nor labor has been spared in trying to produce as perfect a work as possible. The following table of contents will give some idea of the field which the writers have tried to cover: Introduction Postal History and Geography Catalogue of Postage Stamps Revolutionary Issues of Stamps of doubtful status Counterfeits Cancellations Plate NUI:nbers Envelopes Postal Cards --- The edition will be limited to 350 copies, all of which will be numbered and signed by one one of the.,authors..
