The Royal Mail: Its Curiosities and Romance
·

PREFACE
TO
SECOND
EDITION.
The
favour
with
which
'The
Royal
Mail'
has
been
received
by
the
public,
as
evinced
by
the
rapid
sale
of
the
first
issue,
has
induced
the
Author
to
arrange
for
the
publication
of
a
second
edition.
This
edition
has
been
revised
and
slightly
enlarged;
the
new
matter
consisting
of
two
additional
illustrations,
contributions
to
the
chapters
on
"Mail
Packets,"
"How
Letters
are
Lost,"
and
"Singular
Coincidences,"
and
a
fresh
chapter
on
the
subject
of
Postmasters.
The
Author
ventures
to
hope
that
the
generous
appreciation
which
has
been
accorded
to
the
first
edition
may
be
extended
to
the
work
in
its
revised
form.
EDINBURGH,
June
1885.
