The Stamp King.

A PHILATELIC NOVEL.

BY MESSRS.  BEAUREGARD AND GORSSE.

Translated from the French by EDITH C. PHILLIPS.

* * * * *

The story commences at the New York Philatelic Club, and traces out in a most amusing manner the struggles of the two leading members to secure the rarest stamp in the world.  The chase leads these collectors to London, Paris, and Naples, and ends, after many curious adventures, in New York.

EXTRACTS FROM REVIEWS.

The Daily News says:  “A delightful addition to modern books of adventure....  Incidentally, there is a marvellous revelation of the inner affairs and methods of the stamp-collecting world; but the main interest of the book, to our mind, is its remarkable story, and it can and will be read with pleasure by many who care nothing whatever about the philatelic mania....  It would be spoiling a very good thing to tell the rest of the story of the adventures of these two, ... and we shall be much mistaken if this book, in popular form, does not meet with phenomenal favour.”

The Spectator says:  “A most diverting extravaganza, rather in the style of Jules Verne....  The apology of the translator for the lack of verisimilitude in the last scene is entirely unnecessary; otherwise she has done her work with credit, while M. Veilliemin’s spirited illustrations heighten the attractions of a most entertaining and ingenious story.”
