Across the Oceans: Development of Overseas Business Information Transmission 1815-1875
Seija-Riitta Laakso
In the early 19th century, the only way to transmit information was to send letters across the oceans by sailing ships or across land by horse and coach. This book explains how the rate of information circulation increased many times over as mail systems were developed. It covers the period from Napoleonic wars onwards.
