About this book
What Philately Teaches is a book by John N. Luff. The text describes the work as a lecture delivered before the section on philately of the Brooklyn Institute. A passage says that, considered in all its aspects, philately is even more instructive than matrimony. Another passage says the mechanical part of stamp making may be studied with much profit and entertainment.
A passage says stamp catalogues frequently use such terms as London print contrasted with local print. A passage asks how much of Egypt's myths and splendors are depicted, naming the temple column called Pompey's pillar, the obelisk of Luxor and the mighty pyramids. The text calls the sphynx a fabled creature with the face of a woman, the body of a tigress and the heart of both.
