Du service des postes et de la taxation des lettres au moyen d'un timbre Produced by Adrian Mastronardi, Rénald Lévesque, The Philatelic Digital Library Project at http://www.tpdlp.net and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF/Gallica) at http://gallica.bnf.fr) "Du service des postes et de la taxation des lettres au moyen d'un timbre" by M.A. Piron is a historical account likely written in the early 19th century. The text explores proposed reforms to the French postal system, focusing on the taxation of letters and the implementation of a stamp-based system. It discusses the potential benefits of increasing letter circulation through reduced postal tariffs and improved efficiency, highlighting the relationship between postal services, commerce, and public welfare. The opening of the work provides an introduction to the author's intentions and the context of the postal service in France during the 1830s. Piron outlines his observations on the inefficiencies and high costs associated with current postal rates, pointing to the excessive duration of correspondence delivery as a significant issue. He references historical changes in postal services, mentions the ideas of other reformers, and begins to present statistical evidence supporting a decrease in letter taxation, setting the stage for a more detailed examination of the proposed reforms throughout the upcoming chapters.
