It may be that we have already seen and survived our grial period, that at the beginning of this century Dewan spare reached that polar eminence from which a stop in any direction must end down hill. The reduction of the Stamp Duty in 1836 and its abolition in 1955 increased both the number of papers and their cirulations; while the Education Act of 1870 produced not only a vast new body of reader, but a school of writers adapted to their requirements.

The Stamp Act is a dead now as the Queen who enacted it, but it was in force for a century and a half, and its effects upon the Press were evil and lasting.
