Clarendon Press, Oxford.—Comments on a passage about cancels.

The Clarendon Press, Oxford
4 January 1927

Cancels

Do you say quite enough about recorded cancellata? The chief interest of cancels is in the discovery of the original state; I have myself found some half-dozen in the 18C—apart from books in which their occurrence is quite common (i.e. when the cancel was made some time after publication).
