Boston: F. Trifet. First Edition . Gilt Decorated Green Cloth. Near Fine/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Two volumes - Volume I ( 1867 - 1868, 92 pp. ) and Volume 2 ( 1868 - 1869, 112 pp. ). Volume I has been trimmed before binding and has narrower margins than Volume 2 and results in a slightly smaller volume. All edges are gilt, the covers are bright and the pages are tight and bright with no tears. Topics include American and forwign stamps and although the title suggests numismatics, there are very few references to that field of study in these two volumes. This is a very nice run of this scarce early stamp-collecting journal, which I believe went to four volumes in total.
