Synopsis

Intercepted Letters: Or The Two Penny Post Bag, To Which Are Added Trifles Reprinted (1813) is a collection of satirical and humorous letters written by Thomas Brown. The letters are written in the form of correspondence between various fictional characters, and they offer a witty commentary on the social and political issues of the time. The collection also includes additional humorous pieces, such as poems and essays, that were previously published in other works. The title of the book refers to the two penny post, a cheap postal service that was introduced in England in the late 18th century, and which made letter writing more accessible to the general public. Overall, Intercepted Letters is a delightful and entertaining read that provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of early 19th century England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
