Overview

Post Office Reform: Its Importance And Practicability is a book written by Rowland Hill in 1837. The book discusses the need for reform in the British postal system, which at the time was inefficient and expensive. Hill argues that a uniform penny postage system would be more practical and cost-effective, as it would allow for the easy and affordable exchange of letters and other mail. The book outlines the details of this proposed system, including the use of prepaid postage stamps and the establishment of a centralized post office to oversee the distribution of mail. Hill also addresses the potential objections to such a system and provides counterarguments to support his proposal. Post Office Reform: Its Importance And Practicability is considered a groundbreaking work in the history of postal systems and is credited with revolutionizing the British postal system. The book's ideas and proposals were eventually implemented, leading to significant improvements in the efficiency and affordability of the postal service.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
