Post Office Reform

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 proposes a new system based on a uniform penny postage rate, which would make sending letters affordable for everyone. He also suggests other reforms, such as the use of pre-paid postage stamps and the introduction of a national postal service. The book argues that these changes would not only benefit individuals and businesses, but also the government, by increasing revenue and reducing fraud. Hill's proposals were eventually adopted, and his reforms are credited with revolutionizing the postal system not only in Britain but around the world. The book is considered a seminal work in the history of postal reform and a classic of political economy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
