Johnson Edited by with contributions by Thomas Lera, John H. Barwis, Stanley A. Ahler, Herbert Haas, and Georges Bonani and David L. Herendeen SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of “diffusing knowledge” was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: “It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge.” This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, com- mencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to History and Technology Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Museum Conservation Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report on the research and collections of its various museums and bureaus. The Smithsonian Contributions Series are distributed via mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institu- tions throughout the world. Manuscripts submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Scholarly Press from authors with direct affilia- tion with the various Smithsonian museums or bureaus and are subject to peer review and review for compliance with manuscript preparation guidelines. General requirements for manuscript preparation are on the inside back cover of printed volumes.

The Smithsonian National Postal Museum (NPM) hosted this premier meeting on 12–14 November 2012 in the Winton M. Blount Center for Postal Studies. This international symposium was, to our knowledge, the first ever held. It offered an opportunity for interested philatelists and scientists to get together, share their meth- odologies, highlight new technologies, and provide long-term, wide-ranging benefits to all aspects of philately and helped set the course for future forensic analyses in the phila- telic arena. Our close working relationship with the Institute for Analytical Philately, Inc. was a huge plus because the NPM allowed philatelists to use state-of-the-art equipment for their advanced research efforts. The success of the symposium was due in large part to David Herendeen, president and founder of the Institute for Analytic Philately, Inc., and Thomas Lera, NPM Winton M. Blount Research Chair, as well as the speakers, the demonstrations, and the more than 50 attendees. Special thanks go to Elizabeth Simmonds, NPM event coordinator. Without her efforts, the symposium would not have been as great of a success. If you enjoy these papers as much as I hope you will, please continue to support the National Postal Museum, the Institute for Analytical Philately, Inc., and future symposiums. Allan Kane Director, National Postal Museum Preface he Institute for Analytical Philately, Inc. (IAP) was formed in 2010 as a phil- anthropic, nonprofit corporation dedicated to deepening the understanding of Tphilatelic materials through the use of scientific technology and publication of experimental results. The support IAP provides can be tailored to the needs of any philat- elist, from those with no scientific background to those with advanced degrees in science or engineering. IAP grants typically range from $2,000 to $4,000 and are intended to help fund travel, lodging, and laboratory use. Additional funding may be available through cost sharing with alliance members, who can also provide advice on previous work done in a particular area or help in conceiving and planning a research effort. Current alliance partners include the Smithsonian National Postal Museum (NPM), the U.S. Philatelic Classics Society, Inc., the Confederate Stamp Alliance, the Vincent G. Greene Philatelic Research Foundation (Canada), and the Philatelic Foundation. Detailed information on grants and NPM scholarships can be found on page 115.

  • Forensic Analysis of Great Britain 1858–1879 1D Plate 77 Stamps on Cover Abed H
    Forensic Analysis of Great Britain 1858–1879 1d Plate 77 Stamps on Cover Abed H. Najjar ABSTRACT. In 2003, the author obtained an 1865 cover franked with three Great Brit- ain 1858–1879 1d plate 77 stamps (SG 43). If genuine, this is a very valuable and his- torically significant philatelic item. Discoveries of plate 77 stamps are always met with suspicion because they are so rare and have often been the subject of attempted fakery. This paper presents a detailed scientific study of this cover and the stamps. It begins by presenting a compilation of possible methods that might be used for faking the plate 77 stamps. It then develops an analysis plan that carefully examines each possibility. Appro- priate analytical equipment is identified for each step in the process. Finally, the stamps in question are subjected to rigorous testing. The majority of the testing was performed by state- of- the- art, independent laboratories in the United Kingdom and the United States. Many different analyses were employed. These included optical and scanning electron microscopy, X- ray fluorescence spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and more. The paper then presents the results of these analyses and the conclusions drawn from them. All of these data were reviewed by outside forensic experts in order to validate the scientific procedures. Two anomalies that arose during testing are discussed, and hypotheses are posed to account for them. INTRODUCTION An 1865 part cover (Figure 1), which was sent from Guernsey to Brussels, was writ- ten in the hand of the famed literary figure and playwright Victor Hugo, who resided at Hauteville House in Guernsey.

  • 2 Silver Squelchers and Their Interesting Associates!
    #2 SILVER SQUELCHERS AND THEIR INTERESTING ASSOCIATES! Presented September 2014 by Charles Savoie “…THE CLANS WHOSE SELFISH ACTIVITIES HAVE TORMENTED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FOR MANY YEARS---THE MEMBERS OF THE POWER MINDED UPPER RULING CLASS THAT SEE EVERYTHING IN TERMS OF THEIR OWN INTERESTS. EVERY REPRESSIVE AND FASCIST TREND IN THE UNITED STATES CAN BE TRACED ON THE RECORD IN SOME WAY, TO THIS RULING CLASS.” ---pages 484 and 513, “America’s 60 Families” by Ferdinand Lundberg, 1937. There is no evidence that Lundberg was aware of The Pilgrims Society. Continuing with number 2 in this series, as we progress towards the present, we will consider another 15 Pilgrims Society members from the leaked 1914 rosters. Unavoidably we will mention others significantly connected to them. Not all members of this nearly unknown organization have been, or are, precious metals suppressors. The organization is concerned with many other spheres---medicine, science, diplomacy, the military and war industries, insurance giants, universities, big media, and far more. This group remains present at this moment behind the scenes and traces to conspirators active in the Crime of ’73, the Panics of 1857 and 1837, both United States Banks, and much more. It can be anticipated that as they were in earlier times the source of precious metals price and monetary suppression, that the ringleaders in this arena today are also members. That’s why it’s important to maintain pressure on them to post rosters to public view. None of the nine rosters from bygone years were voluntarily released. 1) Henry Clews (1836-1923) is described by Wikipedia as having cofounded in 1859 “Livermore, Clews & Company, then the second largest marketer of Federal bonds during the Civil War.” In 1877 he was the principal in Clews & Company.

  • Dr. Mathias C. Williams
    Dr. Mathias C. Williams: Early Settler of College Hill & Abolitionist The Strobridge Lithograph of College Hill c1860, showing the home and grounds of Dr. Mathias C. Williams in College Hill (lower right), as it would have appeared prior to being consumed in a fire in 1864. At left is the Farmers’ College and Cary’s Academy Buildings. Introduction When I was three years old, my parents purchased what was known as the Daniel B Pierson home, and later the Orville Simpson home. Growing up in an old house with a rolling landscape around it was a true joy. The old place, since christened as Tanglewood, has always held a special position for me. As an adult, this eventually meant delving into the history of the home and the families who inhabited it and shaped the landscape and architecture of which I have become the steward. Most all of the material began with Daniel B. Pierson and went forward; but I want to know what was there before that? Well, William Cary purchased 491 acres in Section 30 of Millcreek Township in 1813 at $7 per acre and that became the core of College Hill. Of these acres, he later sold 56 of them in 1819 to his half-brother John Strong, and a decade later the southernmost portion of that tract was made into a ten acre lot that would hold its form for nearly a century and become the residence of Daniel B. Pierson. In the recorded history of College Hill we have found that there have been many omissions.

  • British Philatelic Societies Histories to 2004
    B1 Philatelic Research at the British Library By David R Beech, FRPSL Head of the Philatelic Collections at the British Library Introduction The three key elements of the Curator’s job are: to collect, to preserve and to make available. In many ways that of making available is the most difficult to achieve and so I welcome this opportunity to describe the considerable resources available to researchers in philately and postal history at the British Library. The British Library is the National Library of the United Kingdom and while it was established only (by the British Library Act, 1972) in 1973, its collections originate from a number of institutions, significantly for the philatelist from the British Museum library departments and from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in the form of the India Office Library and Records. The size, range and coverage of these national collections of international importance is difficult to get across, indeed one would have to spend a lifetime in understanding their inestimable significance to world culture and scholarship. One is forced to quote numbers, give examples of classes of material and describe a few individual items of special significance. In its last Annual Report to 31st March, 2004 the British Library’s holdings were given at 92,522,446 items, but even this does not give the true number as serials (periodicals, newspapers, auction catalogues etc) are counted by the number of catalogue entries. This means, for example, that The London Philatelist the journal of The Royal Philatelic Society London has one catalogue entry but is currently in its 113th volume or about 1,300 individual numbers.

  • Ilerrick GENEALOGY
    IlERRICK GENEALOGY ONE LINE OF DESCENT FROM JAMES HERRICK, WHO SETTLED AT SOUTHAMPTON, LONG ISLAND ABOUT 1653, WITI-l PARTICULAR ATTENTION PAID TO THE DESCENDANTS (BOTH MALE AND FE­ MALE) OF REV. CLAUDIUS HERRICK (YALE .1798), OF NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT, AND HIS WIFE HANNAH PIERPONT. BY HERRICK CROSBY BROWN Privately Printed PACIFIC ROTAPRINTING COMPANY Oakland 12, California 1950 PREFACE In 18h6 General Jedediah Herrick prepared and published a f{errick genealogy covering the descendants of Henry Herrick of Salem, Mass., and James Herrick of Squthampton, Long Island, New York. In 1885, this volume was revised, augmented and brought dO"wn to date by Lucius C. Herrick, M. D. No subsequent revision of the Herrick Genealogy appears to have been published. In 1913 appeared a Pierpont Genealogy, compiled by R. Burnham .fu:offat. This covered t}ie Pier­ ponts from early Norman times. Fortunately one Rev. Claudius Herrick married a Hannah Pierpont and thus the Pierpont Genetlogy brought that particular branch of the Herrick family from 1385 to 1913. The aim of this work is to bring that branch of the Herrick and Pierpont families down to 1950 A. D. The writer wishes it were possible to bring the whole Herrick Genealogy of 1885 down-to-date, but finds the small task he has assumed great enough for his available time and energies. The average genealogy is for the most part a hodge podge of names and vital statis­ tics. The writer's aim here has been to add such biographical information as could be-discover­ ed and collected for each individual.
