HEY, COLIN G, - Rowland Hill - Genius and Benefactor 1795-1879

London, Quiller Press. 1989, First Edition. (ISBN: 1870948327). Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. xviii + 192 pages. 27 illustrations. A wonderful biography of the creator of Britain's postal system but less known for his educational contributions, where his foundation of the Hazlewood School in Birmingham contributed much to educational breakthroughs, being at least 30 years ahed of Dr. Arnold of Rugby. His skilful supervision of the colonisation of South Australia and his decisive direction and rescue of the near bankrupt London and Brighton Railway would each rank as pinnacles in most people's lives. NOT EX LIB 12. Fine/Fine.
