"A General Plan for a Mail Communication by Steam, Between Great Britain and the Eastern and Western Parts of the World" by James M'Queen is a scientific publication written in the early 19th century. This work discusses the establishment of a streamlined steam-based postal system designed to connect Great Britain with various international destinations, including parts of Asia, the Americas, and the Caribbean. The focus is on the practicality and benefits of enhancing mail communication through innovative steam technology, with logistical considerations laid out in a structured manner. At the start of this publication, the author emphasizes the feasibility and necessity of creating an extensive mail network powered by steam, especially in light of the growing demand for faster communication in the expanding British Empire. M'Queen details the proposed routes, potential costs, and operational logistics associated with implementing such a system. He argues that immediate governmental support is crucial for establishing this mail communication efficiently, underscoring both the economic and strategic advantages this advancement could offer Great Britain in the global arena.
