Excerpt from Her Majesty's Mails: History of the Post-Office, and Industrial an Industrial Account of Its Present The general interest taken in this work on its first appearance, and the favourable reception accorded to it, has abundantly proved that many agreed with me in thinking that, in spite of the world of books issuing from the press, there were still great gaps in the "literature of social history," and that to some extent my present venture was calculated to fill one of them. That my critics have been most indulgent I have had more and more reason to know as I have gone on with the revision of the book. To make it less unworthy of the kind treatment it received, I have taken this opportunity to re-write the principal part of it, and to go over with extreme care and fidelity the remaining portion. In addition to the ordinary sources of information, of which I have made diligent and conscientious use, I have been privileged to peruse the old records of the Post-office, still carefully kept at St. Martin's-le-Grand. To any one knowing the nature of these records, it is almost unnecessary to say that no materials could possibly be more useful in correcting and elucidating - if not even in enlivening - the present volume. I would, therefore, take this opportunity of presenting my cordial thanks to the Secretary of the Post-office, who, through the kind intervention of F. I. Scudamore, Esq. allowed me to see these records, and gave me facilities for their perusal. In addition, however, I have received much valuable assistance from many gentlemen more or less connected with the Post-office, all of whom have, with a heartiness and readiness which I could not have credited had I not experienced it, answered every inquiry which I found it necessary or desirable to make.
