National Philatelic Society : ウィキペディア英語版 | National Philatelic Society The National Philatelic Society is one of two national philatelic societies in Great Britain. The other is the Royal Philatelic Society London. == History ==
''The National'', as it is known, was formed in 1899 by Fred Melville and the first meeting is believed to have been at a shop in Clapham, South London.〔Mackay, James. ''The Complete Guide to Stamps and Stamp Collecting''. London: Hermes House, 2005, p.75. ISBN 1-84477-726-X〕 Melville had applied for membership of the ''Philatelic Society, London'', now ''The Royal Philatelic Society London'', but was rejected as he was under 18 years of age. This led to him forming ''The Junior Philatelic Society'' (now ''The National Philatelic Society'') that same year. The society was a huge success, capitalising on pent-up demand for a philatelic society that anyone could join and the new society soon had to seek a larger meeting place. In 1906 Melville formed a Manchester branch of the society. Branches were also formed at Brighton and Liverpool.〔Furnell, Michael., ed. ''National Philatelic Society Centenary Handbook''. London: National Philatelic Society, 1999, pp.16-17. ISBN 0-906291-02-X〕 The success of the J.P.S. in its early years has been attributed to the partnership between Melville as propagandist and writer, and Herbert "Johnny" Johnson as businessman and organiser.〔"Herbert Johnny Johnson 1884-1966" by Michael Goodman in Furnell, Michael., ed. ''National Philatelic Society Centenary Handbook''. London: National Philatelic Society, 1999, p.11. ISBN 0-906291-02-X〕
