About this book
The title page reads The Post Office of India and Its Story by Geoffrey Clarke, Indian Civil Service, with sixteen illustrations. The preface says the intention was to close the story with the amalgamation of the Post Office and the Telegraph Department, which took place in 1913. The preface also says publication has been delayed for various reasons, chiefly owing to the outbreak of the war in 1914.
The text says the introduction of postcards in India was received with suspicion, although their low price ensured a ready sale. The text quotes an extract from the Amrita Bazar Patrika, issue of the 18th July, 1879, which says postal cards are now a rage all over India. The text says that in 1867 a fresh contract for twelve years was concluded with the Company for a weekly service to and from Bombay and a fortnightly one to and from China and Japan.
