that
the
revision
which
he
was
just
giving
to
his
work
as
it
was
passing
through
the
press
would,
on
the
old
system,
have
cost
him
1,500l.
in
postage
alone,
and
that
the
Bible
could
not
have
been
printed
but
for
the
penny
post.
Secretaries
of
different
benevolent
and
literary
societies
wrote
to
say
how
their
machinery
had
been
improved;
conductors
of
educational
establishments,
how
people
were
everywhere
learning
to
write
for
the
first
time
in
order
to
enjoy
the
benefits
of
a
free
correspondence,
and
how
night-classes
for
teaching
writing
to
adults
were
springing
up
in
all
large
towns
for
the
same
object.
Mr.
Stokes,
the
honorary
secretary
of
the
Parker
Society--composed
of
the
principal
Church
dignitaries
and
some
intelligent
laymen--which
has
done
so
much
for
ecclesiastical
literature
by
reprinting
the
works
of
the
early
English
reformers,
stated
that
the
Society
could
never
have
come
into
existence
but
for
the
penny
postage.
One
of
the
principal
advocates
for
the
repeal
of
the
Corn
Laws
subsequently
gave
it
as
his
opinion,
that
their
objects
were
achieved
two
years
earlier
than
otherwise
would
have
been
the
case,
owing
to
the
introduction
of
cheap
postage.
After
a
lapse
of
twenty
years,
many
more
useful
societies
might
be
mentioned
of
which
the
same
could
be
said.
An
interesting
letter
from
the
late
Professor
Henslow,
the
then
Rector
of
Hitcham
in
Suffolk,
may
be
given,
as
it
contains
a
pretty
accurate
estimate
of
the
social
advantages
accruing
to
the
masses.
