The Reform of the Post Office in the Victorian Era and
Its Impact on Economic and Social Activity (1837 - 1864, based on Sir Rowland
Hill's Journal and ancillary papers). By Gavin Fryer FRPSL and Clive
Akerman FRPSL. Published by RPSL. 1300 pages (2 volumes). Rowland Hill kept a
daily journal from 1839 to 1869, with a gap from March 1843 to 1846. This
magnificent work is a reprint of these journals, together with many colour
plates, illustrations, a glossary, and bibliographical information on the major
figures Hill was involved with in the development of the Post Office. Also
reprinted is the 'Post Office Reform' pamphlet of 1837.
There is a detailed editorial introduction where the authors examine the Penny
postage campaign, the parliamentary proceedings and the personality of Hill the
man. Sir Rowland seems to have had three major personality traits. He was
obsessive and confrontational, caring about the Post Office staff, and
paranoid. This latter, negative side, led to his eventual hatred of Col.
Maberly, and various Chancellors and Post Master Generals. The authors have
undertaken considerable research, on both the postal system and, as the title
states, the economic and social activity of the times.

anecdotal letters form a major part of the book.
The Postal History of Northern Rhodesia by
Edward B. Proud, published by Postal History publications Co. 376 pages.

this case Great Britain and Portugal. The bulk of the book lists much
information on mail routes, timetables, and postmarks, with many maps. There
are many prints of Zambian life, and a wealth of machine cancellations in use
to independence.

from Gibraltar, details of the contracts with carriers and shipping companies,
Post Office personnel, and arrangements for the military, to pick a few. Postal
rates and markings are covered in the third and fourth chapters, with many
illustrations and tables. A final chapter lists British stamps used in
Gibraltar in the Victorian period.

Proud, published by Postal History Publications Co. 688 pages. The first
