Grand New Variety Packets.
In order to meet the wishes of a great number of our customers, we
have prepared a series of packets, as under, entirely different from
one another, no stamp in any one packet being in any of the rest of
the series; and the purchaser of the series of eight packets will have
1,305 extra good varieties, and no duplicates.
These packets do NOT contain any Post Cards, cut Envelopes, Fiscals,
or Reprints, and are well recommended as good value, and are only a
small proportion of the Catalogue value of the single stamps contained
in them.
No. 70 contains 500 Stamps of Europe, all different. Price 7/6; post-free, 7/8.

_THE JUBILEE EXHIBITION PACKETS._
No. 78.--The "Queen's Portrait" Packet. 100 Stamps. Price 10s.
The Ten Shilling Packet contains 100 Unused Postage Stamps, each one
bearing a likeness of HER MAJESTY QUEEN VICTORIA. This packet contains
perfect specimens only, nearly all with original gum. This is a real
bargain, but as an extra inducement to purchasers we present a
specimen of a Diamond Jubilee Stamp with each packet; thus each buyer
becomes a subscriber to H.R.H. the Prince of Wales' Hospital Fund.
No. 79.--The "Queen's Portrait" Packet. 100 Rare Colonials. Price £1
10s.
The Thirty Shilling Packet contains 100 rare unused Postage Stamps,
each one bearing a likeness of HER MAJESTY QUEEN VICTORIA. The stamps
in this packet are entirely different from those in No. 78, and
purchasers of both will thus possess two hundred distinct varieties.
Most of the English Colonies are represented by carefully-selected
specimens of the higher value stamps. With this packet we present the
Half-crown Diamond Jubilee Stamp; thus each purchaser subscribes that
sum to H.R.H. the Prince of Wales' Hospital Fund.
No. 80.--The "Picturesque" Packet. 100 Pictures. Price 12s. 6d.
Contains 100 Unused Stamps in perfect condition, each one being
especially selected for beauty, quaintness, or originality of design.
Among others, we mention:
Natives Paddling on the Congo River.
Native Village and Scenery in the Congo District.
A Native Village in Djibouti. The Bridge of Sighs in Kewkiang.
ZOOLOGY IS REPRESENTED BY--The Elephant, the Hippopotamus, the Bird of
Paradise, the Stag, the Codfish.
Three of the exquisite Portraits of Her Majesty, as depicted on the
Canadian Jubilee Stamps, showing the Vignettes of the Queen in 1837
and 1897, form an appropriate addition to this choice and remarkable
packet.

The Improved Postage Stamp Album,
No. 0.
THE BEST AND LARGEST SHILLING ALBUM EVER PUBLISHED.
176 large pages. Spaces for 4,700 Stamps.
48 extra pages added in this Edition without extra charge.
_This Album is now selling at the rate of over 1,000 copies a month_.
The demand for this Album has simply been phenomenal, and it gives
universal satisfaction--not a single complaint has been received. The
last Edition had nearly 20 extra pages added, and now another 48 pages
have been added, and all the Geographical and Historical Notes brought
up fully to date. All the newest Stamp-issuing countries, such as
Ichang, Las Bela, Tientsin, Bundi, Dhar, etc. etc., have been added.
At the top of each page there is the name of the country, and a mass
of valuable information, including date when Stamps were issued,
population, area, reigning sovereign, capital, etc. Spaces of proper
sizes are provided for all Stamps, and the book is bound in a superior
manner in gilt cloth. The Album contains a pocket to hold duplicate
Stamps, and fifty Stamps will be presented _gratis_ with each Album.
There is also an Illustrated Frontispiece of the Rarest Stamps, with
prices attached that we pay for each.
Price, bound in handsome gilt cloth, 1/-, or post-free 1/3.
E. S. says: "I asked a friend where the best place was to buy a
Stamp Album cheap. He referred me to you, saying that he had bought
one and sold it next day for 1/6, after keeping the stamps."
A. A. writes: "I received your Stamp Album on Thursday, and I
wonder how you can sell it so cheap; for as soon as a friend saw it
he offered me 2/- for it. Please send me another."
C. A. W. writes: "Please send me one of your marvellous 1/- Albums,
with packet of stamps, in order that I may convince my incredulous
friends that such a thing is possible."
Miss M. R. writes from Piccadilly: "I was greatly pleased with the
Album I received this morning, which all my friends admired, and
thought it very cheap."

made for it. The shape is oblong, and spaces are provided according to
the different requirements of the various countries.
A large number of guards have been provided so that the Album shall
not bulge when full.

is given at the head of each page.
Fifty-seven different watermarks are illustrated in actual size, and
lists are given of the various watermarks of the different countries.
Two pages of illustrations of _rare stamps_ are given, with the price
under each stamp that we will pay for it.
Special attention has been paid to the binding, which is exceptionally
strong, and the covers are artistically designed.

The book, which is printed on an unusually good quality paper, is
bound in a new and specially designed cover. The shape is as
illustrated, and the size a new and convenient one, viz. 9-1/2 in. by
7-1/2 inches. Sufficient guards have been inserted so that when the
Album is full the covers shall be level with each other, and not
bulged, as is often the case in imperfectly constructed books.
Nos. 15 and 16 include a series of Six Maps, specially engraved for
this Publication, and beautifully printed in Colours.
No. 14. 320 pages. Spaces for 8,000 Stamps.
Nos. 15 and 16. 400 pages. Spaces for 11,000 Stamps.
Concise Geographical and other particulars with Illustrations are
given at the head of each country, the pages being divided into
rectangles, as is usual, with this most important innovation, that
they vary in size so as to conveniently accommodate the Stamps desired
to be placed in position. This is an advantageous improvement that
will commend itself to every collector. Post Cards are not provided
for, as all Philatelists of experience know it is best to collect them
separately.
A new and very important departure has been made in Nos. 15 and 16, in
including for the first time in any Philatelic Album a series of Six
specially drawn Maps, printed in colours, and giving the names of all
Stamp-issuing Countries. They are of course fully brought up to date,
and are not needlessly encumbered with unnecessary names, so as to
increase their usefulness for easy and instant reference.
Each Album now has four full-page Illustrations of the Watermarks
found on all Stamps.
