This work is the result of thirty years of studies and researches. The science of it was at first for me only an amusement; it became gradually the subject of labors of all sorts, unrelated to my profession, but full of ever renewed pleasures. The collection of stamps is no longer a mania which one need defend. It requires intelligence for classification, skill and care in the arrangement of albums, and procures a great quantity of geographical, historical, ethnographic, linguistic, commercial and industrial information.
