*^* Vols. i.-vii. are quarto and vols. viii.-xii. are octavo. The
numbers of vol. i. differ from the " special edition " of this volume
in being printed on white paper and also by the fact that no. 1 is
a reprint with a note to this effect at the foot of page 8, the two
new paragraphs replacing a description of some " Candian Essays "
in the original special edition on yellow paper. The reprint was
made in May, 1863, and there is no original no. 1 on white paper.
Nos. 9 and 10, 11 and 12, 87 and 88 and 95 and 96 were severally
published together under the respective dates " November, 1868,"
'• December, 1868," " August 1 & 15, 1873 " and " December 1 &
15, 1873 ". Each number excepting no. 1 and nos. 73-96 has a
paper wrapper, and each volume, excepting vol. vi., has a title-
page and an index. Vols. ii.-xii. were published by J. W. Scott
and Co. The numbers of vol. vi. were issued weekly and those of
vol. VII. fortnightly. There is an extra number consisting of two
pages called " No. 27J," dated " March 25, 1870," and a supple¬
ment of two pages to no. 57, which is only found in the American
edition of this number. Vol. in. has a frontispiece with coloured
illustrations of the United States stamps of 1870. Vol. v. was
published at 46 Leadenhall Street, London, E.C., as well as in
New York. The wrappers used tor the former edition had the
subscription price given in English money, many of the adver¬
tisements upon them differ from those of the American edition
and there are four pages of additional advertisements in each of
the nos. 50, 55 and 57, which are not found in the latter edition.
The wrappers and advertisements of the English edition were
printed by Pardon and Son, London, but the contents were
printed in New York and correspond exactly with the New York
edition. Nos. 52-60 are stated on the wrappers of both editions
to be edited by Alfred Turner, but this is believed to have been a
pseudonym for J. W. Scott. On the wrappers of nos. 55-60 of
Ijoth editions the title reads " The American journal of philately
and the stamp collectors' journal" ; no doubt referring to an
amalgamation with the " Stamp collectors' journal and phila-
telical opinion " of London. Page 24 of no. 3 has " April 1 " in
error for " May 1," page 70 of nos. 9 and 10 has " October 1 " in
error for "November 1," page 84 of nos. 11 and 12 has "No¬
vember 1" in error for "December 1," page 116 of no. 22 has
" Sept. 20 " in error for " Oct. 20," pages 44 and 50 of no. 28 have
" Mar. 20" in error for " April 20," page 89 of no. 32 has " 1670"
in error for " 1870," pages 9, 11 and 13 of no. 37 have " 1870 " in
error for "1871," page 29 of no. 39 has "1870" in error for
" 1871," page 42 of no. 40 in some copies, has " April " in error
for " April 20," page 44 of no. 40, in some copies, has " April 0 "
in error for " April 20," pages 117 and 120 of no. 46 in some
copies, are printed inverted, the wrapper of no. 99 has in error
"98," pages 55, 56, 63 and 64 of no. 112 have " March 20" in
error for " April 20," page 60 of no. 124 has " March 20 " in
error for " April 20," page 106 of no. 127 nas " June 20" in error
for " July 20," and pages 5 and 7 of no. 146 have " 1876 " in error
for " 1878 ". There is a supplement to no. 45 consisting of a cata¬
logue (8 pp.) of an auction sale of stamps to be held by Geo. A.
Leavitt and Co., on October 9th, 1871, the pages of which bear
the heading "Supplement—American journal of philately".
This catalogue is bound up in the volume lettered : " Stamp
auctions 1 ". Other catalogues of auction sales of stamps by the
same firm were presented with nos. 131, 143,146,148 and 153 and
the pages of each of these are headed " The American journal of
philately."
