| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "The Life of Sir Rowland Hill and the History of Penny Postage, Vol. 1 (of 2)" by George Birkbeck Hill is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the life of Sir Rowland Hill, an influential figure in communication history, and explores the development of the penny postage system. Hill’s reforms transformed the postal service, making it accessible and affordable for the general public, a subject that underpins the narrative. At the start of this biography, the author introduces Rowland Hill, detailing his ancestry and family background, which shaped his character and values. We learn about Hill's upbringing in a middle-class family that experienced significant hardships, including famine and riots during his childhood. His father's strong sense of justice and commitment to civil liberties profoundly influenced Hill, instilling in him the principles that would guide his later reforms. The opening chapters paint a vivid picture of his early life, emphasizing the attributes he inherited from both parents, which ultimately equipped him for his revolutionary work in postal reform.
