Globe.--"This is no dry-as-dust compilation, but a brightly-written résumé, full of significant facts and picturesque incidents. The little brochure is neatly printed and usefully illustrated." Scottish Leader.--"It is a prettily got up little volume, containing abundance of interesting information, and a number of well-executed illustrations." Scotsman.--" ... his delightful book--gives a very interesting account of the more remarkable changes that have taken place in the Postal Service during the past century. The book is written with the same thorough knowledge of its subject, and the same anecdotal felicity as characterised its author's _Royal Mail_. It is well illustrated." Speaker.--"A chatty description, illustrated by reproductions of quaint contemporary prints, of the marvellous changes which have taken place in the collection and distribution of letters since the close of last century.... Mr. Hyde writes pleasantly, and there is not a page of his narrative which is open to the charge of dulness." Daily Graphic.--" ... A brightly-written narrative. Mr. Hyde gives many interesting figures in connection with the rise and growth of the various departments of Post-Office work." Glasgow Herald.--"Mr. J. Wilson Hyde possesses the faculty of throwing a halo of romance around the working of the Department with which he has been so long connected, and his present volume is fresh and vigorous in both matter and tone.... Will serve to show the entertaining way in which he treats the subject. His illustrations are equally humorous and meritorious." The North British Economist.--" ... the memories recalled are curious and amusing ... there are numerous quaint and interesting illustrations." Queen.--"It gives an account of the work and development of the Postal system of Great Britain, and relates some curious details respecting the changes that have come about in the course of years. To persons interested in this subject, the little volume will be welcome." LONDON: SAMPSON LOW, MARSTON, & CO. LIMITED. NEW NOVELS. _At all the Libraries._ A ROMANCE OF DIJON By M. Betham-Edwards.
