Cole], "Post Office", The

Written after August, 1840.
- Cole describes the history of British posts, including
rates, and then "Mr. Rowland Hill's plan of uniform
postage. This measure, which has placed the
Post-office, at the time we are now writing, in a state
of total transition, so that what is in practice to-day
falls into disuse on the morrow, was carried into effect
by an act passed in 1839 ...".
- The lead sentence, "Correspondence is the offspring of
advanced civilization.", passes without further comment.

When the British Parliament opened on Jan.
16, the Members could purchase preprinted envelopes ("letter
covers"), valid for use only at the Houses of
Parliament. After the 1838 Sydney envelopes, these
were the second items representing prepaid postage, though
neither was intended for wide-spread general use. The
Parliamentary envelopes remained valid only until May 6,
when they were replaced by the new generally-available
postage stamps, envelopes and letter sheets, the Penny
Black, Twopenny Blue, and Mulready's.
The Parliamentary envelopes were not reported in a
philatelic publication until 1881, although they had been
mentioned in the contemporary records of Parliamentary
business. For their history and a census of surviving
examples, see Alan Huggins and Edward Klempka, Great
Britain: The 1840 Prepaid Parliamentary Envelopes, London :

Edwin Hill, brother of Rowland Hill, was
appointed Inspector of Postage Stamps at the Board of Stamps
and Taxes (renamed the Board of Inland Revenue in
1849). This agency assumed responsibility for
production and distribution of British postage stamps, as
they were already doing so for duty stamps for tax
collections. Paper manufacture and stamp printing were
contracted and operated under supervision of Board
employees.
Ormond Hill, son of Edwin Hill, was appointed Assistant
Superintendent of Postage Stamps, in May 1841.

in glowing detail at the end. Since Henry Cole had
a large role in the selection process, this review needs
to be read carefully.

- John Stuart Mill owned The London and Westminster
Review from Oct. 1836 to March 1840, then passed it to
Henry Cole and William Edward Hickson. Mill and
Cole had been friends since 1828. Hickson and Cole
published the June 1840 issue under the previous title
Westminster Review, and Cole withdrew soon afterward.
- Mill evidently believed that the illustrations for
this article would be a considerable expense, but he
agreed to pay for it (letters of Feb. 6 and 8, 1840, to

Postage stamps [the Penny Black] and Mulready
covers on sale in London.
- In the vocabulary of the day, the adhesives are labels,
the letter sheets are covers, the envelopes are
envelopes, and they are all stamps.
The term stamps might also refer to
revenue-related markings (as in stamp duty or stamped
paper) or to postmarks. Other terms in use
included medallions and wafers.
The television series Victoria, broadcast in the US
on PBS, in season 1 episode 4, The Clockwork Prince,
has a scene in which Rowland Hill explains postage stamps to
the Queen.
[Victoria examines a sheet of "penny black"
postage stamps with her portrait on them]
Victoria: But how will the little pictures stay
affixed?
Rowland Hill: The stamps, ma'am, have a layer of gum
arabic on the back.
Victoria: So everybody who wants to send a letter
will have to lick my face?
Poetic license, we suspect. For the complete
conversation, see, Daisy Goodwin, Victoria: A Novel of a
Young Queen, 2016, p. 336, http://books.google.com/books?id=vig4DQAAQBAJ.
Rowland Hill's Post Office Journal [Fryer & Akerman]
does not indicate a meeting with the Queen about the postage
stamps, although the Mulready design had been shown to her
by Francis Baring, Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Moreover, the gum was most likely a chemical derived from
potato starch (link),
not the more expensive gum arabic.

The Times, London, May 2, 1840.
- Rather negative references to the Mulready envelope,
four days before it was valid for postage - 'Sir - is it
possible that the enclosed is not a joke? ...
nonsensical buffonery', the editor's response 'Our
correspondent sent us one of Mr. Mulready's envelopes.
We really can scarcely ''believe our eyes'' as we
contemplate this monstrous specimen of art run mad'.

6th 1840, the first official day of use, from London to
Whitehaven with red Maltese Cross and clear Lombard
Street ''LS/6 MY 6/1840'' datestamp on reverse, some
cover imperfections. The inside of the cover is endorsed
by the recipient 'This is the first ''Penny Postage''
envelope for letters that I received, being round one
from my esteemed friend Thomas Blain. 5th Month 8th
1840' and signed 'John Tomlynson' a large margined 1d.
black plate 1a BI with red Maltese Cross is appended
alongside the signature - in 1978 Robson Lowe asked if
Mr. Tomlynson was the first collector of adhesive stamps
and first day covers! A further note (presumably from
the sender, Thomas Blain) reads 'Lord Wm Russell,
brother I believe to the late Duke of Bedford, was
murdered last night at his house in Park St. Grosvenor
Square but I have not learned any particulars'
initialled 'TB'. A most interesting example of this
popular first day cover. R.P.S. certificate (1990).

Rowland Hill made a note in his diary, "I

to Mulready without pre-payment of postage.

A Pictorial Rhapsody by Michael Angelo
Titmarsh, with an Introductory Letter to Mr. Yorke, Fraser's
Magazine for Town and Country, London, Jun. 1840, vol. 21,
pp. 720-732 (link).
- Pages 727-728 feature a defense of the Mulready
covers, but most of this article is satirical.
"Michael Angelo Titmarsh" was a pseudonym for William
Makepeace Thackeray, 1811-1863; "Oliver Yorke" was a
pseudonym for the editor of Fraser's Magazine, William
Maginn, 1794-1842. "Titmarsh" had previously
ridiculed Mulready in June
1838, also in Fraser's Magazine.
- Anthony Trollope reports that, in 1848, Thackeray was
proposed by the Postmaster General, a close friend, for
the position of Assistant Secretary at the General Post
Office (ref).
The position was not offered, and in Trollope's opinion
it would have been disastrous for both Thackeray and the
Post Office.

That the rates of postage charged on letters transmitted
by the mails of the United States ought to be
reduced. Resolved, That it is expedient to
inquire into the utility of so altering the present
regulations of the Post Office Department, as to connect
the use of stamps, or stamped covers with a large
reduction of the rates of postage. The Senate
proceeded, by unanimous consent to consider the
resolutions; and, On motion by Mr. Webster, Ordered,
that they lie on the table, and be printed, with the
accompanying papers.

makes the bold statement, "Post Magazine first appeared
on Saturday 25 July 1840, just seven months after the
introduction of the Penny Post and was the first
publication anywhere in the world to be sent by post –
hence its name. It therefore ranks among one of
the most significant commercial innovations of the
nineteenth century."
- Whatever the justification for the name, the contents
are not it - Post Magazine is devoted to news and
information of the insurance industry. The form of
the magazine at first was eight printed pages, folded,
with a Penny Black stamp affixed.
