| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "An Abstract of the Proceedings of the Select Committee of the House of Commons,..." is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work documents the inquiry into the Contract Packet Service, with a particular focus on the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, examining its origins, operations, and the critiques leveled against it. The book likely aims to clarify the company's role and the national benefits it provided concerning mail services. The opening of the book presents an overview of the reasons behind the inquiry, driven by allegations of favoritism and corruption regarding government contracts awarded to the company. It discusses the directors' desire to impart crucial information to the company's proprietors and the significance of the committee's investigation into mail packet services. It also outlines early communications and arrangements for mail conveyance, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of the evolving relationship between the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company and the government, emphasizing the company's successful adaptation and improvements in mail delivery amidst accusations of illicit practices.
