Abstract
IN an address delivered to the meeting of the Portsmouth Brotherhood at Portsmouth on October 18, Mr. J. H. Brebner, the controller of press information for the General Post Office, gave a brief account of the history of the Post Office. He laid stress on the fact that in the early days, about 1800, the Post Office was considered more as an instrument for taxation than as an undertaking to be run for the benefit of the public.
