Notes:	Map on lining-papers. "500 copies printed." "This volume on the ships to California from 1848 to 1869 evolved from a study of the propaganda hand stamps used by the steamship companies on the letters carried by their vessels ... To complete the study it seemed advisable to bring in, at least in a minor way, the other agencies that eventually released the then far-off Pacific coast from its isolation."--Foreword. "Appendix A. An account as nearly complete as possible, of the practice of using the mails for propaganda to an extent never equalled on any other steamers in the world": p. 316-339.
