NEWSPAPER CLIPPING - 17 AUGUST 1839 THE TIMES, LONDON - with a lengthy editorial apparently copied 'From a Scotch paper' opining upon the upcoming introduction of Universal Postage, including "The plan of glueing small stamps to the letter would involve an amount of trouble and inconvenience which would inevitably lead to its speedy abandonment." etc. Fascinating commentary.
