"The Development of Rates of Postage: An Historical and Analytical Study" by A. D. Smith is a scholarly historical account written in the early 20th century. The work examines the evolution of postal rates, exploring their underlying economic principles and how they have been influenced by various societal changes. It aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of how rates have been determined over time in the context of the postal system's development. The opening of the book presents the author's intent to analyze the history and principles governing postage rates. A.D. Smith outlines the permissions and resources granted to him, such as access to official records at the General Post Office, which facilitate a thorough exploration of both inland and international postage rates. The author reflects on early postal systems that emerged within England and other nations, emphasizing significant developments like the introduction of penny postage. This section lays a solid foundation for the reader's understanding of how historical context and economic considerations have shaped the postage system as we know it today.
