Inventor of the Letter-Box.
The inventor of the letter-box was
Anthony Trollope, the novelist. who
was a surveyor of the post office. in
England, from 1841 to his reilrement
from the service in 1887. One sure
way of arousing Trollope‘s ire was to
suggest that be neglected his post
office work for the sake of his novels.
He took, as a matter of fact, an in-
tense pride in his official work, or, as
he put it. he had a passion for letters. ~
In his autobiography he enumerated
various benefits for which the public
had cause to be grateful to him. First
came the arrangement by which the
mic living in little villages could
buy postage stamps; secondly. the free
and early rural delivery, and the put— .
