Excerpt from Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Vol. 50: July December, 1841 Quarter ended loth October 1839, D0. D0. A e e e Decrease per quarter, Which is at the rate of a. 'ear; so that the revenue from the ost-efice, instead of increasing, is diminishing quarterly since the first introduction of the penny system. This result is far from being surpris ing, for the great reduction in the rate of stage at first, induced a delu e of etters from boarding-school gir love-sick damsels, sentimental ladies maids, and idle valets, who have gra dually cooled in their epistolary ar dour, as the chea postage became familiar, the trenh e of writing felt, and their stock of ideas ran out. The Liberals,… in their prophecies that the number of letters passing through the Post-o ice would be ia creased six or seven-fold, totall overlooked one consideration, which is nevertheless a vital one in the question; namely, that it is generally very little pleasure, but otlen a very great burden, to write a letter.
