Book Description

Excerpt from Reforms and Reformers of England One omission requires to be noticed here, which escaped the Editor of the present edition. Mr. Wal lace of Kelly, the late member for Greenock, was the original champion of Postal Reform, and should have been mentioned as such along with Mr. Rowland Hill, who has himself done full justice to Mr. Wallace's early labours. On page 218, also, Colonel Thompson has been named by Mr. Staunton as the colleague of Dr. Bowring, in the first proceedings for abolishing the Corn Laws, instead of Mr. Archibald Prentice, who presided at the original Manchester Meeting.
