As
a
rule,
with
few
exceptions
indeed,
letters
are
forwarded
according
to
their
address.
It
is
of
paramount
importance,
therefore,
that
the
addresses
of
letters
should
not
only
be
legible,
but
the
proper
and
the
complete
address.
Perhaps
the
following
suggestions
on
this
head
may
be
found
useful,
viz.:--
(a)
Never
to
post
a
letter
without
addressing
it
either
a
post
town
or
a
county.
If
the
information
cannot
otherwise
be
obtained,
the
"British
Postal
Guide"
contains
a
list
of
all
post-offices
in
the
United
Kingdom,
and
gives
post
town
to
which
they
are
subordinate.
(b)
Letters
for
small
towns
or
villages
ought
not
to
addressed
to
the
nearest
large
town,
merely
because
it
the
nearest;
although,
as
a
rule,
the
town
in
question
will
be
the
correct
post
town,
there
are
many
exceptions,
which
can
only
be
known
by
reference
to
the
"Guide"
provided,
or
by
inquiry.
(c)
If
the
town
be
not
well
known,
or
if
there
be
two
towns
of
the
same
name
in
the
country,
the
county
ought
to
be
added.
(All
the
cities
and
county
towns
are
well
known.)
Thus,
letters
addressed
to
Newport
should
always
give
the
county,
inasmuch
as
there
are
several
towns
and
villages
of
that
name
in
England.
Again,
letters
for
Newcastle
should
either
have
the
county
added,
or
the
usual
designation
thus:
Newcastle-on-Tyne,
Newcastle-under-Lyme,
or
Newcastle
Emlyn.
(d)
Letters
posted
in
England
for
Scotland
or
Ireland,
vice
versâ
(except
in
the
case
of
the
great
towns
of
the
three
countries),
should
have
the
name
of
the
country
to
which
they
are
sent
given
as
part
of
the
address.
N.
B.
(North
Britain)
for
Scotland,
and
S.
B.
(South
Britain)
for
England,
would
generally
be
thought
sufficient
for
letters
circulating
between
the
two
countries.
