Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Going to Markets and Grammar Schools, Vol. 2 of 2: Being a Series of Autobiographical Records and Sketches of Years "Pepper and Sabean incense take, And with post haste thy running markets make, Be sure to turn the penny." - Dryden. Ten years had elapsed on the 10th of January, 1850, since the penny postage had been established by the indomitable perseverance of Mr. Rowland Hill. Nine of my most intimate friends and myself therefore resolved to have a dinner, to commemorate the first decade of this great commercial blessing, and for more reasons than one. The first reason was because Mr. Hill was a native of Kidder-minster, of which we felt very proud, and the second because we believed his victory over "Old Tedium" to be of much greater value, not only to the inhabitants of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, but to the world at large, than were all the victories that ever took place, both by sea and land.
