The
reader
of
such
books
as
Cowper's
Life
and
Letters,
and
Moore's
Correspondence,
will
find
that
the
means
of
obtaining
franks,
or
carriage
for
their
manuscripts
or
proofs,
gave
the
poets
frequent
uneasiness,
and
lost
them
much
time.
So
with
many
needy
literary
men,
in
what
Professor
de
Morgan
somewhat
absurdly
calls
the
"Prerowlandian
days."
The
Professor
himself
gives
an
instance
of
an
author
sending
up
some
dry
manuscripts
to
him,
under
cover
to
a
member
of
Parliament,
expressing
a
hope,
we
think,
that
the
representative
would
feel
some
interest
in
the
subject.

"The
first
result
of
the
scheme
amply
vindicated
the
policy
of
the
new
system,
but
it
required
progressive
and
striking
evidence
to
exhaust
all
opposition."--Ency.

Select
Committee
on
the
Post-Office,
1843.
[114]
In
the
last
month
of
high
charges,
of
two
and
a
half
million
letters
passing
through
the
London
Office,
nearly
two
millions
were
unpaid,
and
few
more
than
half
a
million
paid.
Twelve
months
afterwards,
the
proportion
of
paid
to
unpaid
letters
was
entirely
changed,
the
latter
had
run
up
to
the
enormous
number
of
five
and
a
half
millions;
the
former
had
shrunk
to
about
half
a
million.
