CONFEDERATE STATES. 



Postmasters' provisional issues of the Confederate States are entirely lacking in 

 representation in the collection. As the authenticity of some has never been clearly 

 established no list is published in this work. 



The general issues of the Confederate States are at present attracting considerable 

 interest, and much progress is being made in researches concerning their issue and 

 method of printing. The list that follows is solely of specimens represented in the 

 collection, as the research work has not progressed to a point where it is positively 

 known just what is lacking in representation.
