PREFACE 
 
 -TO- 
 
 REFERENCE LIST OF LOCALS. 
 
 The Local Stamps of the United Htates have been for the past f»-w 
 years regarded with indifference by many, and no catalogue to date 
 baa given the information that Ih desired in a " List." 
 
 The compiler is indebted to Mr. Coster's work for much information, 
 supplemented by correspondence with various specialists who "love 
 locals for their own worth." 
 
 Most catalogues arrange these stamps without regard to the issues, 
 and in many instances the stamps of tbe same pdst are catalogued as if 
 Issued by different parties. 
 
 In such cases as were possible, the history of the post shows that 
 one proprietor sold out or was alworbed by another. In these we have 
 arranged then) so as t<» show *uch change of proprietorship. The chro- 
 nology, so far as possible, is denoted by the Roman numerals after the 
 name of a post, thus, cxxi. The * shows if a used stamp is on the 
 original letter ; the t denotes that they are linown to have existed at 
 tills date but may have been in use previous to the date indicited ; 
 where the date Is entirely a matter of doubt, ? ; the J shows that the 
 value is not indicated on the stamp. When such value is known it is 
 inserted In parenthesis (5 cents). The check list, in order to prevent 
 confusion, will have the cipher '0" before the numeral, as 017. 
 
 The thanks of the compiler are due to Messrs. Charles H. Coster, L. 
 W. Durblti, Philip La Tourette and William A. Warner. 
 
 W. H. MITCHELL, D. D. 8. 
 Bkrobn Point, N. J., December 1, 1886. 
 
 Note.— Should any errors have crept in this list, the compiler 
 would be only too pleased to learn of such at any time.
