| 520 | _a"Stage-coach and Mail in Days of Yore, Volume 2" by Charles G. Harper is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the fascinating world of coach travel in Britain, exploring its evolution and significance during the coaching age. The book discusses various routes, notable events, and the impact of mail-coaches on society and commerce, providing a vivid picture of travel in a bygone era. The opening of this volume begins with a detailed analysis of the later mail-coaches and their operational efficiencies, citing specific journeys and travel times to illustrate the changes in mail delivery from the early 19th century onwards. Harper paints a picture of the challenges passengers faced, from the discomfort of long journeys to the management and condition of vehicles and horses. He also touches on the tension between the Post Office and Turnpike Trusts, offering insights into the economics of travel during that time. Overall, the beginning establishes a foundation for understanding the context of coach travel, setting the stage for more detailed explorations in subsequent chapters.
