Excerpt from Collecting as a Pastime The rostrum shook under the thud of the fist of the reformed prizefighter, and the hall reverberated with his stentorian exclamation. Ah-h-h-h, my friends what will the drunkard do for drink? Allow me ]ll. To whisper, What won't the collector do for curios P 'it is generally understood that there IS honesty among thieves. This may be so - not being a member of that fraternity I cannot vouch for its accuracy. That this desirable attribute prevails amongst the majority of antique dealers and collectors is to my mind open to question. You know' you cannot do yourself justice unless you know more than the other fellow, while he in his turn, if you are a stranger, treats you with suspicion, and so you both play Brer Rabbit.

As a Pastime. ccording to the authorities, the central idea of a pastime is "that it is so positively agreeable that it lets time slip by unnoticed; as, to turn work into pastime."

And recreation is described as "that sort of play or agreeable occupation which refreshes the tired person, making him as good as new." Stamp collectors may fairly claim that their hobby serves the double purpose of a pastime and a recreation. As a pastime, it certainly makes time pass most agreeably; for the true student of the postal issues of the world, it turns work into a pastime. As a recreation, it is of such an engrossing character that it may be relied upon to afford the pleasant diversion from business worries that so many tired mental workers need nowadays. For nearly half a century it has maintained unbroken its hold as one of the most popular of all forms of relaxation, and its popularity extends to all classes and to all countries.

Excerpt from Collecting and Hobbies: With Special Reference to Coin, Medal and Paper Money Collecting Boots and shoes are much prized by some. Fifty years ago a well known Englishman possessed the shoes of many of the beauties of the Court of Charles II, amongst them those of the Duchess of Cleveland, Lady Muskerry, La Belle Hamilton, Miss Jennings, and -'miss Stewart. The last pair is supposed to have been stolen from Miss Stewart by Lord Rochester and Killigrew. The collection is now missing. The comic element, moreover, is not a'bsent so the subject is fruitful in many directions. An American woman, for instance, on a visit to Milan, expressed admiration for a monument in one of the public squares - a statue of world-wide renown. The guide assured her that the monument was for sale, and to purchase it received the sum of ten thousand pounds. With the money he fled to the frontier, where he was arrested by the police. Five thousand pounds the thief handed over to his captors as the price of his release and with the remaining five was allowed to escape!

Excerpt from Stamp Collecting as a Pastime Many people are at a loss to understand the fascination that surrounds the pursuit of stamp collecting. They are surprised at the clannishness of stamp collectors, and their lifelong devotion to their hobby. They are thunderstruck at the enormous prices paid for rare stamps, and at the fortunes that are spent and made in stamp collecting. The following pages will afford a peep behind the scenes, and explain how it is that, after nearly half a century of existence, stamp collecting has never been more popular than it is to-day. And perchance many a tired worker in search of a hobby may be persuaded that of all the relaxations that are open to him none is more attractive or more satisfying than stamp collecting. Its literature is more abundant than that devoted to any other hobby. Its votaries are to be found in every city and town of the civilised world. Governments and statesmen recognise, unsolicited, the claims of stamp collecting - the power, the influence, and the wealth that it commands. From a mere schoolboy pastime it has steadily developed into an engrossing hobby for the leisured and the busy of all classes and all ranks of life, from the monarch on his throne to the errand boy in the merchant's office.

Excerpt from Coin-Collecting: An Introduction to the Study of Numismatics Most persons who become famous in any branch of human interest show preference to that subject from youth up. It is because they have thought about it, drilled themselves in it, and studied it all their lives, that they have become authorities in the subject. So nearly all who have hobbies incline to them in youth. Boys who collect coins are numerous; many soon give up. But some think so much of their pastime that they never quit. Many able men have been numismatists The United States Gov ernment collects rare coins, having commenced in 1838. Most historical societies and art museums own collections. Thus we see that while the collecting craze is generally thought of as a childish notion, mature people and digui hed bodies of men show their approval of the pursuit of coin-collecting.

Excerpt from Hobbies: An Address on the Collection of Lincoln Literature I have talked with men who have had a hobby and have found that it was curiosity or love of some particular thing which prompted the starting of that hobby. As a rule, it did not begin as a hobby, in the first place, but became a hobby after the curiosity had been aroused or the love for the particular line had been fixed.
