T he Editor of “ Oppen’s Postage Stamp A lbum," on submitting this Catalogue for public approval, begs to remark that it does not profess to comprehend all the numerous varieties of perforation, watermark, &c., col lected by many philatelists. A ll primary issues and marked variations in colour, &c., will, however, be found duly noted, and the list made up to date of publication. Little mention is made of essays or fictitious stamps, and none of forgeries : so many of the former, and, we regret to add, of the latter also, are rife, that a partial notice would be incomplete, and a full one exceed our bounds. Berger Levrault on essays, and the contributions of Pemberton, Stourton, Atlee, &c., on forgeries, in separate works, or in tbe pages of the “ Philatelist” and “ Stamp Collector’s Magazine,” should be well studied. W e retain our own essays, from patriotic motives; that of New Brunswick, for its singular history ; those of Zurich, as being the first foreign postal emanation ; and a few others in expectation of official issues. Tbe Editor and Publisher hope this work will find favour in the eyes of the philatelic public, and trust their patronage will soon afford oppor tunity for the adoption of any friendly suggestions towards the improve ment of future editions. London, November, 1876. * f« “ • CONTENTS E U R O P E .
