Stamp_ collectors will be interested in The Pageant of Civilizatimi,

by Mr. F. B. Warren (Benn, 21s.). The book explains how stamps may teach us history and is beautifully produced and illustrated. The chapter " England begins as an Empire" is alone worth a guinea, but every chapter is cleverly planned and fascinating in its story. There could be no better present for philatelists of whatever age.
