Présentation de l'éditeur

On Letter Writing rapidly by the busy and indifferent officials, and at day-break to be dropped into thousands of letter-boxes in busy towns, or to be taken to country villages I5y the philosophical postmen that Cowper tells us of mean promotion or disappointment, happiness or sorrow, it may be life or death, to multitudes of human hearts in quiet homes, little thinking what a change in their lives one sheet of paper is to bring. For, as a sober matter of fact, letters are the wheels on which the world jnpves. In the same letter-bag there may be a letter with the offer of a seat in the Cabinet; another, marked with spede, from a servant to her parents, telling them she is sent home to die; another with a proposal of marriage; another a letter of comfort, to be read and re-read in sad and lonely hours, till constant handling has worn out the paper, and frequent tears have almost blotted out the words.
