But a book-paoket may not contain any letter, or communication of the nature of a letter (whether separate or otherwise), unless it be a cironlar letter or be wholly printed; nor any enclosure sealed or in any way closed against inspection. If this rule be infringed, the entire packet is charged as a latter.

A book-packet may be poated either without a cover (in which case it must not be fastened, whether by means of gum, wafor, sealing wax, postage stamp, or otherwise), or in a cover entirely open at both ends, so as to admit of the contents being easily withdrawn for examination; otherwise it is treated as a letter. For the greater security of the contents, however, it may be tied at the ends with string Postmasters being authorised to out the string in such esses, although if they do so they must again tie up the packet.

No book-packet may be above 5 Iba. in weight, nor above 24 inches in length, 12 insbes in width, or 13 inches in depth, unless it be sent to or from one of the Government offices.·

When, owing to a great and unusual influx of letters, books, do, the transmis. slon or delivery of the letters would be without distinction, book-packets may be delayed if the whole mail were dealt with kept back till the next despatch or delivery,

The Post Office reserves the right of selecting the opportunity for trans- mission, sad of delaying delivery in case the number of parcela is such as to retard other correspondence.

The Post Office is not, by law, responsible for any loss or inconvenience which may arise from the non-delivery, mis-sending, or mis-delivery of any latter, book, or other Postal packet (even if the packet be re- glstered); nor is the Post Office responsible for any injury which a packet may sustain during its transmission, enti

To guard against such injury all postal packets which are likely to suffer from stamping or from great pressure, should be placed in strong covers; and even with this precaution no fragile article should be sent through the Post. It should be remembered. that every pasket has to be handled several times; that it la exposed to considerable pressure and friction in the mail bag; and that, whenever the bag has to the course of its transmission to be transferred by means of the railway apparatas, the risk of injury

is much increased.
