Transcriber's Notes

Several symbols appear in the left margin of certain catalogue entries:
the equals sign (=), em-dash (--) and a circular "bullet" (o). No
explanation is given in the book for the significance of these symbols
which are reproduced as the original.

A distinctive larger typeface is introduced on the title page and used
to denote catalogue items donated by the Boston Philatelic Society. In
this Plain Text version of the e-book this typeface is distinguished by
preceding and following dollar symbols: $thus$.

Other typeface conventions and symbol substitutions are as follows:

  Bold typeface is represented by =equals signs=;
  italic typeface by _surrounding underscores_;
  superscripts by a preceding caret (^) symbol;
  and small caps typeface by UPPER CASE.

  [ae] for ae-ligature
  [a'], [e'] for grave accent
  [:a], [:o], [:u] for umlaut
  ['e], ['o] for acute accent (or Spanish final stress)
  [oe] for oe-ligature character
  [asterism] for a triangle of three stars.

Where changes or corrections have been made to the text, these are
listed at the end of the book.
