To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
(See ante, page 24. ) It is unfortunate that the writer of this article was not at the time of writing in possession of the whole facts of f'the case, when doubtless Mr. Hill's " paper of 1839 " would have been characterised as it deserved. Sir Eowland Hill's mode of obtaining credit for " inventions " or proposals of other men will now be better understood. If Mr. Hill alluded to this adhesive stamp (the admitted invention of Mr. Chalmers in 1834) in 44 February, 1837, while Mr. Chalmers urged... its adoption officially only in December, this, it will be seen, arose from Mr. Hill having been privileged to give evidence on postal affairs before the Com- missioners of Inquiry. The proposal of 1834 with respect to newspapers came to nothing ; conse- quently there was no opening then for Mr. Chal- mers to send in his invention officially. In send- ing in his plan to the Select Committee of the House of Commons in December, 1837, Mr. Chalmers was still a year and a half before the Penny Postage Bill was even introduced into Parliament.
