Allam, David

The Social and Economic Importance of Postal Reform in 1840

Publisher: Harry Hayes, Batley, 1976

First edition, paperback, 27 pages, illustrated, Fine condition.

This is a fascinating, well illustrated, account of Rowland Hill’s postal reforms – why there was such a need for reform of the postal system in 1837; the introduction of universal penny postage; and the long-lasting impact that the changes made on British society and the economy.
A little-known publication – very interesting and well worth a read!
