Any Chainnan of the British Post Office dwells in the shadow of
Rowland Hill, and, if he were an honest man, he probably from time
to time, while singing the praises of Rowland Hill, as is his due,
thinks a silent thought of sympathy for his predecessor Colonel
Maberly, the head of the Post Office, the Champion of established
orthodoxy, the leader of the Professionals, who had to endure the
irresistible force of Hill's arguments combined with his skills as
a pamphleteer, agitator, and political propagandist. My favorite
passage of the book Royal Mail by Martin Daunton (1985) shows how
much the Post Office of the day needed a Rowland Hill to challenge
Colonel Maberly and all that he stood for. I quote from a passage
describing how the Colonel, when he arrived at about 11:00 a.m. and
while enjoying his breakfast, listened to his private secretary
reading the morning's correspondence. Daunton records: The Colonel,
still half engaged with his private correspondence, would hear
enough to make him keep up a rumring commentary of disparaging
grunts, "Pooh! stuff! upon my soul!" etc.
