This book was originally published in 1998. From Roman times until
this century the business of government has been largely carried
out by the writing of letters, either in the form of instructions
or of authorisations to deliver information orally. These documents
were addressed to the recipient and authenticated by a seal or
signature, often having a greeting and a personal conclusion. The
messengers who took them also carried copies of laws and
regulations, summonses to courts and whatever else was needed for
the administration of the country. Without a means of speedy
delivery to all concerned there could be no effective government.
Separate postal services developed to meet the needs of nobles, the
church, merchants, towns and the public. This book discusses three
meanings of the word 'post': the letters, those who carried them,
and the means of distribution. It shows that there is some
continuity from Roman times and that the postal service established
throughout England after the conquest of 1066 continued until 1635
when it was officially extended to the public, thus starting its
amalgamation with the other services.

The interest in PCs and computer technology has spawned a host of
courses in microcomputer technology (both traditional FE courses
and more adult retraining). This title was written for the demands
of such courses at advanced FE level, in particular the CG 7361.
The emphasis is on practical aspects of hardware handling, and line
diagrams and photographs help the reader to identify component
parts. Suitable for structured study or interested enthusiasts, the
theory and practice is covered in breadth, whilst workbook-type
fill-in sections should benefit teachers when lesson-planning.
