One
thing
only
mars
the
gracefulness
of
the
minute
in
question.
A
vague
and
indefinite
attempt
is
made
towards
partitioning
the
merit
of
the
original
suggestion
of
the
penny
postage
scheme
between
Sir
R.
Hill
and
some
other
nameless
projector
or
projectors.
On
the
contrary,
we
have
not
been
more
definitely
led
to
any
conclusion
in
the
range
of
postal
subjects
which
have
claimed
our
attention,
than
to
the
one
which
gives
to
Sir
Rowland
Hill
the
entire
merit
of
the
suggestion,
and
the
chief
merit
in
the
carrying
out,
of
penny-post
reform.
It
would,
of
course,
have
been
impossible
to
carry
out
and
perfect
the
system
without
the
cordial
assistance
and
co-operation
of
the
other
principal
officers
of
the
Post-Office;
for
the
past
twenty
years
that
assistance
seems
to
have
been
faithfully
rendered;
and
Sir
Rowland
Hill,
in
retiring,
pays
a
just
tribute
to
those
who
have
laboured
to
promote
the
new
measures,
and
into
whose
able
hands
they
have
now
fallen.
