About this book
The Adhesive Postage Stamp argues the claim of Patrick Chalmers (1777-1854), the Scottish bookseller and reformer, that his father James Chalmers of Dundee, not Rowland Hill, originated the adhesive postage stamp. Chalmers campaigned to establish the family's priority in the great postal reform that gave the world the Penny Black. The pamphlet is a primary document in one of philately's enduring priority disputes.
