| Abstract: | During the comparatively short time I have been a collector of stamps I have been surprised to find so many other collectors who disdain the cancelled stamp; they say the beauty of the stamp is marred by the postmark and are quite satisfied to show page after page of unblemished examples of the art of engraver, lithographer and printer. I do not condemn my friends who hold to this opinion; on the contrary, I feel sorry they are unwittingly shutting themselves off from unsuspected pleasures that would lead them into many interesting by-paths of which they know nothing at present.
