Books
with
valuable
bindings,
if
it
is
necessary
that
they
should
be
sent
through
the
post,
might
be
well
secured
in
strong
boards;
valuable
papers
or
prints
should
be
enclosed
in
strong
paper,
linen,
parchment,
or
other
material
which
will
not
readily
tear
or
break.
Fragile
articles
of
value
(which
should
by
all
means
be
registered,
as
special
care
will
then
be
taken
of
them
in
all
respects)
might
best
be
enclosed
in
wooden
boxes,
and
then
wrapped
in
paper.

It
is
hardly
necessary
now
to
point
out
that
the
postage-stamp
should
be
placed
on
the
upper
right-hand
corner
of
the
envelope,
and
the
address
written
as
much
towards
the
left
hand
as
possible;
the
address
will
then
be
removed
from
the
stamp
and
the
postmark
of
the
office,
which
will
be
impressed
upon
the
letter
before
it
is
despatched.
Delay
is
caused
to
the
Post-Office
operations
when
the
stamp
is
otherwise
placed;
and
in
cases
which
occasionally
occur,
where
the
stamp
is
placed
at
the
back
of
the
letter,
it
frequently
happens
that
it
is
sent
away
charged
with
the
unpaid
postage.

The
penny
receipt-stamp
will
not,
under
any
circumstances,
serve
the
purpose
of
the
penny
postage-stamp,
though
many
people
would
seem
to
think
differently;
all
letters
bearing
a
receipt-stamp
are,
of
course,
charged
as
if
unpaid.
The
two
kinds
of
stamp
might
easily
be
assimilated,
and
there
are
rumours
that
this
may
soon
be
done;
but
they
have
their
distinct
duties
at
present,
and
the
one
cannot
take
the
place
of
the
other.
