B. EVANS ♦ LONDON STANLEY GIBBONS, LIMITED 391, STRAND, W.C. 1904 PREFACE H E Stamps of Sicily or, to use the official designation, of the “ Dominions beyond the Phare,” which formed part, under a separate Administration, of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, are so interesting, not only from an artistic, but also from historical and philatelic points of view, that a study of them grounded on official papers and on the examination of specimens in the collections of some of the leading specialists, seems to be entitled to particular attention from the philatelic public. Considering that the Postal Administration of Sicily contributed to our collections only one set of stamps, the use of which lasted for a period of less than nineteen months, the short history, from its adoption to its with­ drawal, seems to the mere casual observer to afford scope rather for an article than for a monograph. But if we take into consideration the historical period during which the life of these stamps lasted, the existence of different plates for certain values, some of which were subject to retouching ; the numerous shades in which the stamps were printed, and tfye fact that further issues were contemplated, at first by the Bourbon Postal Authorities and later on under the Dictatorship and Lieutenancy of the Sicilian Provinces, the field of our researches will soon be found to be much wider than could have been anticipated. On the other hand, we are not satisfied with a simple reference to the official decrees and a description of the stamps. In the words of a learned and painstaking philatelist, the late Mr. W. A. S. Westoby, “ no history can be considered complete which fails to indicate the policy which was the mainspring that brought about each particular event.” Therefore we have endeavoured “ to know the exciting causes and the steps which led up to the event, as well as the motives that guided the actors.” This is our excuse for allowing an amount of space, which by some may perhaps be considered too ample, to the information concerning the different surface-printed essays prepared during the last Bourbon period, and the accepted (though never issued) type for the Sicilian Provinces, prior to their official annexation to the Kingdom of Italy—two chapters which do not constitute the less interesting portion of the curious philatelic history of Sicily. To Monsieur Moens we are indebted, in this instance also, for much VI THE STAMPS OF SICILY of what was known about these stamps from the early period of stamp collecting, an article having been published in his magazine, Le Timbre-Poste, for July, 1866, which was reprinted in book form in 1877. With the view of supplementing in some degree the old information, I contributed a few notes to the same magazine from November, 1894, to March, 1896, par­ ticularly pointing out the existence of different plates and of numerous and sometimes queer-looking retouches. My notes were in course of publication when I obtained access to further documents, of which it was my intention at first to make immediate use. But later on I decided to leave the article unfinished, considering the compilation of a volume in which all the informa­ tion I had gathered on the subject might be merged, to be more appropriate. A few facts remaining still unsettled, I waited a long while before putting the matter in regular order, and, no doubt, I should have waited still longer, had not some friends both at home and abroad, including the Publishers of these Handbooks, urged me to publish what information I have collected upon the subject. I hope that my fellow-collectors and all who are interested in the Stamps of the Italian group will help me, by supplying further particulars and correcting the errors into which I may have fallen. For my own part, I promise to publish further information as soon as I succeed in collecting it. My thanks are due to my friends who liberally put at my disposal their collections of Sicilian Stamps and Essays. The assistance of Major Evans, who undertook the translation of this volume (by no means an easy task), cannot be adequately appreciated by anyone but myself, and I desire to express to him my cordial gratitude. In concluding, I shall be glad if this volume, as it is now presented, may afford to the reader an amount of interest proportionate in a small degree with the keen pleasure I have experienced in compiling it.

  • The Sicilian Revolution of 1848 As Seen from Malta
    The Sicilian Revolution of 1848 as seen from Malta Alessia FACINEROSO, Ph.D. e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Following the Sicilian revolution of 1848, many italian intellectuals and politicalfiguresfound refuge in Malta where they made use ofthe Freedom ofthe Press to divulge their message ofunification to the mainland. Britain harboured hopes ofseizing Sicily to counterbalance French expansion in the Mediterranean and tended to support the legitimate authority rather than separatist ideals. Maltese newspapers reflected these opposing ideas. By mid-1849 the revolution was dead. Keywords: 1848 Sicilian revolution, Italian exiles, Freedom of the Press, Maltese newspapers. The outbreak of Sicilian revolution of 12 January 1848 was precisely what everyone in Malta had been expecting: for months, the press had followed the rebellious stirrings, the spread of letters and subversive papers, and the continuous movements of the British fleet in Sicilian harbours. A huge number of revolutionaries had already found refuge in Malta, I escaping from the Bourbons and anxious to participate in their country's momentous events. During their stay in the island, they shared their life experiences with other refugees; the freedom of the press that Malta obtained in 1839 - after a long struggle against the British authorities - gave them the possibility to give free play to audacious thoughts and to deliver them in writing to their 'distant' country. So, at the beginning of 1848, the papers were happy to announce the outbreak of the revolution: Le nOlizie che ci provengono dalla Sicilia sono consolanti per ta causa italiana .... Era if 12 del corrente, ed il rumore del cannone doveva annunziare al troppo soflerente papalo siciliano it giorno della nascifa def suo Re.

OR some years I have wished to publish a treatise dealing specially with the stamps of Modena, based not onfy on the F decrees and postal regulations, but also upon an examination of the official documents and the registers of the Administration. At first the scarcity of information and afterwards the want of time to examine and arrange the material collected have prevented me from carrying out this scheme until the present time.
