The excellent credit which philately
enjoys in the press of the British en-
pire certainly Is in part explained by
the fact that King George v has been
an active, ardent and intelligent stu
dent of stamps for many years. But
it also is attributable in large measure
to the interest of many other eminent
men and women. The 1885 edition
of Who's Who in Philately," pub
lished by the PhilateIc Magazine,
London. presents a wealth of evidence
to prove the point.
