History of the Post-Office Packet Service between the years 1793-1815

History of the Post-Office Packet Service between the years 1793-1815 is about the history of the Post Office and its dealings overseas as compiled from historical records. Excerpt: «No nation can afford to forget its history; and England, of all others, whose power is so deeply rooted in sea-fights, should not be careless of her naval records. After many generations of almost ceaseless warfare, there has been a long breathing time of peace, an interval which could not be better spent than in collecting and recording the actions of those brave men whose struggles ensured our ease, and preserving them for our benefit, as well as for that of posterity.»
