Y, PREFACE. fjÏH E R E is very little to be said here, except that I have tried to give as |ţg complete a list of the Post Cards and Letter Cards of the World, as my limited knowledge of them permits. I feel sure that the follow ing PaSes contain no end of errors and omissions, and would respectfully ask all collectors to inform me of any they might discover. I f you have cards not catalogued in this list I would be obliged if you would send them to me so that they can be noted in an addenda. This catalogue will be issued in parts of thirty-two pages each until completed. In describing the hinging of reply cards, the form, original with me, will be followed, viz. : T 3. Hinged at top, reply printed on third page.
