In the eighteenth and earlier part of the nineteenth century the town postman carried a bell, a practice which lasted in London until 1846, and in other places un- tll much later. A public notice 1n 1805 reads: Houses or boxes for receiving letters before four o'clock

order to smuggle letters; "franks" were forged, in spite of the fact that forgery was a capital of- fence, and letters were sent and refused by the addressee although by a prearranged code the mere sight of the wrapping conveyed news as to the health and we1l-be- ing of the sender. In 1837 the rate for a single inland letter was 4d. for 15 miles, 6d. for 30 miles, 7d. for 50 miles. and so on up to ls for each additional hundred miles. Rowland Hill, to whom we owe the penny post, collected evidence and showed by statistics, that the length of a Ietter's journey made no appreciable difference to the cost of that journey. For example, the cost of the mail-coach ser- vice for one journey between Lon- don and Edinburgh was about 5‘ pounds a day. He then worked out the average load of the mail at six hundredweight, the cost of each hundredweight being therefore 16s 8d. Taking the average weight of a letter at a quarter of an ounce, the cost of carriage over the 400 miles was one-thirty-sixth of a penny. Yet the actual postage charge was ls 3 1-2d. One of the first obstacles he met with was the rooted idea that the British public would object to prepayment. it being contrary to their habits and customs. You see, they argued that when you wrote a letter you had all the trouble, and you were
