Discusses three meanings of the word post: the letters; those who carried them; and the means of distribution. The text shows that there is continuity from Roman times and that the postal service established throughout England after the conquest of 1066 continued until 1635 when it was officially extended to the public, thus starting its amalgamation with the other services. The text describes the development of the separate postal services which met the needs of nobles, the church, merchants, towns and the public.
