Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating and meticulously researched analysis of the introduction of the penny post in Britain. The author takes readers through the development of the plan, spearheaded by Rowland Hill, and its implementation. The book places the penny post within its broader hi…storical context, detailing the political and social forces that shaped its emergence and the economic considerations that surrounded it.
