ADDENDA.
This volume offers an in‑depth look at the postage stamps, envelopes, wrappers and postcards that once circulated through the British colonies of North America. Compiled by the Philatelic Society of London in 1889, it brings together meticulous records, official gazette notices and contemporary journal research to map the evolution of colonial postal services. The work fills gaps left by earlier, often inaccurate lists, delivering a reliable reference for anyone interested in the early philatelic history of Canada, Newfoundland, British Columbia and other territories.
The book is illustrated with fine autotype reproductions, a technique praised for its clarity and fidelity to the original items. Alongside the visual catalog, each colony is introduced with concise historical notes, drawing on the scholarship of E.D. Bacon and contributions from fellow researchers. Listeners will find a blend of scholarly detail and vivid imagery that brings these forgotten pieces of postal heritage to life.
