Very many thanks for )'our pto\npt attention in lien ding \ne a Circuit I 1 was very pleased with same, and hope you will b e able to send some more, whe:t possible.

1 belong to several stamp clubs but I musl: say that 1 find the Officials and services of BNAPS surpass any I've had dealings with. Mind you, I' m not complaining about the services of any of the others.

1 expected to give BNAPS a year's trial, but believe me, I'm in it for keeps. So, here' e Success to th·e club and the Officials who are making it such a fine organizatiot'l.

Looking forward l:o the next circuit and a banne't year for your depart­ment, I am

Sincerely yours, A. P. RANGER

Member Joe. C. Martin, #248, sends us the above odd and interesting Newfoundland cover. It is a registered cover mailed May 20th, 1901 and addressed to Selkirk, P.E.I. The interesting feature of the covet·, as one can see, is that the registry rate was prepaid with two of the 5c Victoria Inland Revenu~ Stamps. 'l'he letter certainly did postal duty as evidenced by the backstamp and the •postmarks on the front, which are charac-teristic o·f that time. •,• •:• Editor, BNA '.{'OPICS Dear Sir:

This letter should have been written wme t ime ago, as it concet·ns the artic!e by "Click" (Part III), in the ~larch, 1946, issue of BNA TOPICS.

With reference to the 8c Numera ls, B-rown-Orange, I wish to advise that I .have in my collection a very fine mint block of four. Several years ago, an outstanding dealer in this city. had at least one sheet of this shade. It is very difficult to secure and con~E.­quently valuable.

I must add that I heartily agree witlt the many suggestions made during recent months, in the hope that t·he Scott catalogue w.ould be improved. Referring to the Eame article by "Click" whet·ein he suggests a proper listing for Scott #'s 85 and 86, I must note that both these shades exist imperforate as I have them both in blocks of four.

1 am enclosing a letter fot· Mr. Daniel C. Meyerson with photo copies attached, and would appreciate it if you would forwat:d it to him.

Yours sincerely, \-V. Non]I{A:-f Fox

For· JJ.\'.1 TOPICS

By Jack Levine

This work contains so much new intomratlon that it Is lml)OSslble for this •·cvl('\1 t•r to attempt a complete coverage or all the fi('lds discussed In it. He reports soml' or the Information be finds In the book and offers his opinion generally on the entire contPnlR.

AllY reviewe•· will be better able to judge this book if he carE?fully t·eads t.lw Pr·pfac•• and Introduction in which the Author explains the purposes and p.".nciplcs which gulrlfld him. H e admits to errors and omissions and specifically disclaims the book as "llw las l wor·d".

The discussion of thl' Early Postal Hlslo•·y of Canada is compact and comprehE?nslw. introducing many side-lights heretofore little known. The coverage or the Postal Mark­ings and "Handstruck Postage Stamps" Is likewise very comprt>henslve and is enhanced by pr·o!use illustration. The chapter on the Canada-U. S. Postal Relations throws much new Jlght on this complex phase or Canada. Here again we are provided a profusion or Illustrations, including as it does no less than 57 covers, ('ach explained for rates and markings.

Tn the chapters on the stamps of the 19th century, this reviewer finds an amazing amount. or new lnformatl<'n- some of it. sensational and much or It perhaps neve r befot·e published. In the PencE? lssul's, we are offe•·ed proof that only Oil<' plate was used rcr ea::h denomination,and also proof of the size of the plate. Documentary evidence Is pro­vided to establish when wove paper was first used; when the lrni>rint was added ; whPn the contr·actors began perforating the stamps; etc. Re-entl'les, varieties and rates ar(• a ll copious ly illustrated. The First Decimal Issue is given similar· consideration and treatment with the subject amply documented and illustrated.

Mr. Boggs presents a n'asonably satisfactor·y explanation to the perplexing probiPm or I ho number of plates used for the First Dominion lssues, th!' Large and Small Qul'l'n'3. HIR !;lolutlon of the reason for reducing the s ize of the stamvs Is surprising In its nlm­pllclly yet consonant with the facts as known. Tlle division of the Small Querns l11to Fir!'t Olt<Lwa, Montreal, and S!'cond Ottawa J)rintings is a n('w classification and Rhoultl Kllnrulatl' further· study or these issues.

In the ~laple Leaf Issues. an understandable explanation Is offered for the 2c Nu· m('ral types. The cont roverslal Port H oods Provlsionals come In ror an interpretation to establish their status as equally good, If not better, than other Canadian bisects. Th,.. dlscusFion of the King Bclwar·d VII Issue Introduces some new data on plates or 400. Thl' Edward Coil stamps art> also a source or new information. The 1911·28 "Admiral 'l'Ytl!'" Issues are carefully considered fo1· dl<' differences, imprint and plate marldn!(R, tlrlntlng-s, etc., with many enlargements in illustration. The Issues from 1930 to rial(' all r·C'celve review with the usual pertinent lnf<>rmation providt>d. Mr. Boggs h1tJ·ocJuc~s the nam <' "Dated Dies" Instead of "Secret Dates',' whi·ch obviously are not very ~I'CrN. Th<> 201 h Century Commemoratives are discussed in a single chapter and each ~ ~~u!' lnc!udl's data on purpose, plates, p1·inting, varieties, etc.

Booklets a1·e given th<'lr just share or study and her·e again we are provided wllb !'Omc n('w infor·mation In the fo1·m of how many were issued. We had quite a sun>rlse in INtrnlng that ove1· 11.000.000 of the Edwa•·ds wer·e issued.

R<'gistered U!tter· Stamps, handst1·uck and adllesive, receive detailed study wllll many original documents Introduced lo throw new light on this subject. Tho Special Dnllvcry, Postage Dues, l'randstruck and adhesive, \Var Ta.x and Airmails are all COlt· sirll'r'ed. Postal Stationery In all its t)has<>s is thoroughly treated with many Instruct In• illustJ·atlons and a very fine classification of the envelopes.

In the cancellation fiE?Id a g1·eat deal of new infor·matlon Is provided. rrypPs of vostal ma1·kings, obli terations and fatrcy cancellations are all amply diEcussed and again lho~:~c helpful illustrations a1·e in profusion. Railway Postmar·ks ar·e exhaustively studle<l and illustrated, as are the Steamboat and Steamship markings.

The study of the Postal Development or the Northwest T erritories and the listing of the Post Offices reveals much that is new on this interesting phase or Canada's stamJlt<. Official Seals, Dead Letter Office Ma•·klng, Free and Legislative J<'rank Markings, Pn!· cancels and Meters a•·e all discussed in the final chapters,

Supplementing the first volume in a second consisting of the documentary evidence for many of the statements in volume one. :VIuch of this evidence has never, to this reviewer's knowledge, been published before. The various charts of the plate layouts could furnish the student with many hours of serious study. ·

Throughout the book, listings are presented with a factor system of valuation and a keying with the two standard English language catalogues, Scott and Gibbons, whiclt helps in the interpretation cf the tables.

We have brle(ly discussed this work and we doubt whether any one reviewer can adequately cover every field discussed in the book. The many new interpretations of· fer.ed cannot be judged quicldy and must be read again and again to grasp the full im­plication. It is this reviewer's opinion that each phase of collecting as studied in this book merits· a separate review and report to the reader. The collector'S patience has been amply re·warded with this :fine publication.

ROYAL -VISIT PLAT~ NUMBERED BLOCKS '!'hose interested in "Plating" the Royal Visit Issue will find the prices paid at tht~

recent Sissons & Wegg auction sale of conslde1·able interest. The semi-difficult positions still continue a gradual advance while the two really difficult. positions of the 3c, viz., Pit. Nos. 3-3 and 5-4, show a marked uptrend at $10.50 and $10.00 respectively for the four positions of each plate numbe1·.

A complete plating of the 2c brought $9.00. Individual prices to the last nickel are as f.olows:

One cent~Pit. Nos. 1·1, 3-3 and 4-4, $1.00 per block .. Pit. No. 4-3 brought 90c per ' block.

Three Cent- Pit. No. 1·1 went fo1· $1.25 per block, while 2·1 and 4-1 sold for $1.40 ve1· block. Pit. 1-3 of the same difficult numbers sold for $2.15 per block.

It is assumed that these are all blocks of 4, though listing does not specify thili\.

Dear Sir:

l recently read an issue of the ']'o,·onto Philatelic Jo·urnul and found some very interesting l·nformation which explained some of the vagaries which have puzzled rno <thont --the eal'ly Canadian Tobacco Stamps. I presume the information will be enlighten­ing to others.

"Duty on tobacco in Canada was first imposed in 1864, under Act of 27th and 281 h Victoria, chapter 3. To designate the tobacco on hand, which. was exempt from tax, a provisional stamp was used, diamond-shaped, and printed in green. with D in angles fo;· dntia-ble, and M for manufactured tobacco. The f1rst labels used to indicate the payment of tax on tobacco were similar to the above and printed in red for Excise, or duty on home manufactured, and blue for Customs, or duty on imported tobacco; the colors of the stamps being a distinctive feature denoting the use to which they are applied.

The stamps in black are used on tobacco :;old direct from the facto1·y. When the manufacturer makes up a large stock for which there is no ready market, and does not. wish to pay the duty long in advance of i.ts sale, he Is r equired to send it .to the govern· ment warehouse, where it is stored at trifling cost, and may be removed wheneve1· a marltet is found by paying the duty, the stamPS for which ·are red. Following the above. which we call the 'garter' series, came small lozenges, and ribbons with lozenges printed in the· cente1·, which appear to have been used conteml)Oraneously wfth the garter sef'iE>::; for sev~ral years."

When you consider selling ..• you cannot do better than write to the int-emaaonal auctioneers that solll

B RINGING NEws Asour PEoPLE AND S rAMPS BY REV. Jon~ S. BAIN

Alden C. Johnson, philatelic author, and formerly general manager or Marks Stamp Co., 'l'oronto, Canada, announces that he has S('vered connections with ~larks Co. and has open<'d Ills own stamv business. His add ress Is 11 CarmlchnPI Ave., T01·onto.

DNAPS It came as a sho~k to learn of the

death of J. T. Pepper, Uptown Stamp Shop, 1402 Yonge St., To•·onto. ~h. Pep­per was well known In philatelic ch·cles. Miss E. Gardne•· will continue to operate the sto•·e, which In my opinion Is one of the nicest stamp sto•·es In Canada for its size. BNAPS

While in attendance at Sisson & \Yegg's a uction in TOI'onto, we noticed a good many of the bldrters were a ll members or BNAPS. All the good matel'!a l wus not sold to the bidders as Jim was able to buy a nice il em whfctt hC' s howed me. A block of four, Canada, 5c Deaver, #Hi, fu ll gum, unhinged. A real gem, If ever there was one. It cost lVtr. Siseons $300.

BNAPS S uggestion fo•· BNAPS In regard to

our participation In the Tnlernational SIJow 1947. How about a set of colored kodachrome slides of D.N.A. s tamps ancl pieces that are famous, and that would also show the diff<'rent major varie ties, etc., fo•· lecture wo•·k. These slides could then be ren ted to membe•·s after the show to give talk in local clubs, and thus stim­ulate inle•·est in B.N.A. stamps.

BNAPS ) lore Canadian imperforates are show­

ing up. The latest to b<' offe•·ed ls the 1937 issue complete, Scott #231·236, 241· 245. In addition, the "Royal Visit" issue of 1939, Scott # 246-248, bas appeared in the same condition. These stamps were offered at very high prices and so far at this writ ing, no buyers. '

nNAPS I came across some D. C. Law stamt)S

which may eith<'r b<' an Eighth Issu e or a new die, probably the fo •·m<'r . These stamps are a 10c, 50c and $1.00. 'rhey portray the tall, thin "Justice", the same as appears on the Seven th Issue but there Rl'e disti nct diagonal lines on the hilt or the wo•·d. and there a re square sha­dows at the feet. Catalogues I have don't mention these nor do lh<'Y mention a 30c, orange, · fOJ• the Seventh Issue.

BNAPS With the lJ. S. reducing its airnmil

rate to 5c, couldn't It be that Canada will do likewise? If so, wouldn't that mean a short ll~e fot· thl' 7c?. Who knows?

Another memory of my ~ew York tr·ip. While visiting Dan and Bill Meyerson, we became interested, or should I say involved, in the Newfoundland "Guy" Is­sue. Scott, Gibbons. Boggs all note this issue aappearing in both per·!, 13 Yz and 14. The Meyerson boys have the enlirl' set in the per·t 14, but to date, have only the 7, 9, 10, 14, 20, 24 and 32c values in the perf H. Dan and Bill would certainly appreciate hearing from anyone about other perf 14. values.

W& buy all kind• o! collections and accu· mulations or JJ<Istage stamps, pro,·lded Ut~Y are worth $50 o r more. &o11d lor our free bookie!, " If You Have St:•mp~ to S••ll '' , describing 011 r rr co appraisnl~, top pl'lce• nud Jtrompt pnyllotllll. !load It for you r 1••·o· teet ion i><>f•>ro .•·ou ,.,.11 .

SALES DEPA.RTMENT NEWS H. R. M1·:nus, Sales llfanager 101 West 60th Street N. Y. 23, N. Y.

At· the New York Group meetings much interest is shown in the Sales Books and some substantial purchases have been 'made. Philadelphia is well represented now: aud there should be a Sales Manager for that Group. Getting you•· circuit via the "Group Route" is the most conomical wy. How about it Philly? Will you select a S.M. for YOUI" City?

Books are retired when any of the following conditions have been met: 1. Vihen most of the stamps have been bought. (No one likes to get a book half empty). 2. When your book has made the "1·ounds" of all members interested in it. 3. At the request of the owner. The last is important, as it shows that the owner has control over his vrol)ert.y and can claim it at will. ·

Sales books are priced at 5 for 25c, postpaid. If less tllan ftve are wanted, please add postage. The books are sold at actual cost. Plese do not ask for sales book with·

· out enclosing remittance, as .no provision has been made for carrying small accouni'S, and bPsides school has stat-ted, and junior may need a notebook.

-:· ---- ··· Dear Me1nber:

I've enjoyed the honor and privilege of serving you as Editor for some time and in all that time have never ventured any editorial or messages. I ask that you under· s tand and appreciate the concerns which pr.ompt me to break that precedent.

Every membe1· must admit that our Society has progressed. Om membership num­bers ove1· 300. Our magazine Is improving. Our Sales Department is showing increaser! activity. Our Library is steadily growing. OUJ' s tatus is recognized, our reputation is honored. \Ve know that our services are not complete nor what we would want them to be, but we feel sure that U1ey will be. \Vhat we may not realize is that a few cannot effect this eventual situation; only all of us now, and those who join late r , can produce that successful condition. EVE-RYBODY MUS'!' TAKE PART.

It seems so surprising in its simplicity. Our membership is over 300. lf e1;cry rncm IJcr woulft enroll C£ new -member we wr>nl<l have over IWO!

;'' ~$7 INVASION OF CANADA 1160

It Isn't often that one has the good fortune to run in to a really Interesting find wh ile on the hunt for early m ilitary covers. About a year ago, I purchased t.he con·es­uondence or an officer, Majo•· A1·c·hlba ld Got·don, (written to his wife and daughte•· 1 \ Ir~ln11d) while serving with the 27th Ennesklllen Regiment of Foot during the invasion oi Canada. in 1769 and 1760.

The leiters are very Interesting as they describe the life at thl.' differen t posts ancl the troubles encountered en route to :\fontrea l. They we1·e written from Crown Point. Fort Edward, Fort George, Fort Ticonderoga (which he commanded In 1760). and f•·OtH Camp Monlt·eal. in which letter he describes the surrender of ::\lontreal on the 8th Se11· tember 1760. This is probably one of the earliest Canadian ::\'lllltary covers on reco•·,J. from )-£ontreal at least.
