About This Book
L'essai retrace l'origine et le développement du service postal en France, depuis les relais de courriers anciens jusqu'à son organisation moderne, en examinant l'évolution des tarifs, des recettes et de la vitesse des transports. L'auteur critique les tarifs excessifs qui freinent l'accroissement des recettes malgré des améliorations du service, expose les réformes proposées et les résistances prévisibles — crainte de perte de recettes et débats sur l'étendue des mesures — et plaide pour une réforme postale plus large et libérale, préparée par des études détaillées et le concours de la presse.
