Canada's Small Queen Era 1870-1897

Written by George B. Arfken

(459 pages - 1989)

A study of the postal history of the Small Queen period. Beginning with the domestic rates for letters and other forms of mailed material the book replicates the study for mail to the USA, the United Kingdom, other parts of BNA and the rest of the world. The rate discussions are supported by extracts from the postal regulations and illustrated with examples of each rate. This is an essential companion piece for the Hillson/Nixon study of the Small Queen stamps.
