When we send a letter or a postcard,we have to put stamps on the envelope or on the card.When did people first begin to use stamps? Who was the first to think of this idea?Here is some information about it.
In the early nineteenth century,people did not use stamps.They had to pay for the letters or postcards they received.People didn't like it.First,it was not convenient.Seconod,sometimes they had to pay for the lerrers they didn't want to receive at all,such as advertisements.Third, the postage was high at that time,and it was difficult for postmen to collect the postage.
The one person thought out an idea to solve this problem.He was Rolland Hill,a schoolmaster in England.He was the first to put forward a proposal to use stamps in 1850s.He thought it would be much more conveniet for people.They could go to a nearby post office to buy stamps and put them on the envelopes before they send letters.The post office could simply put seals on the stamps to prevent them from being used again.That was a good idea and it was accepted by tile government finally.
當(dāng)我們發(fā)送信件或明信片,我們要放在信封或卡上的郵票。人們什么時(shí)候開始使用郵票嗎?誰是第一個(gè)想到這個(gè)主意的?下面是一些有關(guān)它的信息。
在19世紀(jì)初,人們并不使用郵票。他們必須支付他們收到信或明信片。人們不喜歡它。首先,這不是方便。其次,他們有時(shí)不得不付出的信件他們不想接受,如在所有廣告。第三,郵費(fèi)是當(dāng)時(shí)高。而這是很難郵遞員要收郵資。
然后一個(gè)人想出一個(gè)主意來解決這個(gè)問題。他是羅蘭希爾,在英國教師。他是第一個(gè)提出一項(xiàng)建議,在19世紀(jì)50年代使用的郵票。他認(rèn)為這將大大方便更多的人。他們可以去附近的郵局購買郵票和信封放在他們面前,他們發(fā)出的信件。郵局可以簡(jiǎn)單地提上了郵票密封,以防止再次使用它們。這是一個(gè)好主意,它是由瓦政府接受了。
