The Royal Mail: Its Curiosities And Romance is a historical account of the British postal service, written by James Wilson Hyde and first published in 1889. The book delves into the origins and development of the Royal Mail, tracing its evolution from the early days of mail delivery by foot and horseback to the establishment of the first mail coach routes and the eventual introduction of the railway system. Hyde also explores the various curiosities and peculiarities of the Royal Mail, including the use of codes and secret marks to ensure the safety of the mail, the role of the Post Office in espionage and intelligence gathering, and the fascinating stories of the men and women who worked for the Royal Mail. Throughout the book, Hyde provides a rich and detailed account of the history of the Royal Mail, drawing on a wide range of sources and offering a unique perspective on this important aspect of British cultural and social history. The Royal Mail: Its Curiosities And Romance is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the postal service or the broader history of Britain in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
