Penny Postage Reform Led by Rowland Hill Advocates
The piece argues that the Universal Penny Postage plan, championed by Rowland Hill, Warburton, and Hill supporters, will reform state taxation on letters. It criticizes current postage costs as excessive and harmful, noting potential revenue gains if a penny rate is adopted and arguing for Parliament’s backing despite opposition from officials like Lord Lichfield and Colonel Maberly.
