When Rowland Hill's penny- post scheme had gained such support as to have its adoption proposed in Parliament, Sir Robert Peel, the greatest financial minister of his day, was its strongest opponent, and prophesied nothing but loss and failure as results. All the great movements in history were INVESTMENTS 275 fiercely opposed by some of the ablest men of the time who were specialists in the particular matter in ques- tion.
