"Mémoire sur la réunion des trois services, des postes aux chevaux, de la poste…," authored by M. de Saint-Victour, is a historical account likely written during the late 18th century, specifically around the time of the French Revolution. This memorandum discusses the proposed consolidation of the postal services, advocating for their unification under a single administration to improve efficiency and reduce costs. The text revolves around administrative reforms in France's postal system,
reflecting both economic considerations and the broader social changes of the period. The core of the book presents a detailed plan for merging three branches of postal service: the horse posts, the letter post, and the messageries (courier services) into one streamlined administration. Saint-Victour argues for the advantages of this unification, emphasizing potential economic savings, enhanced service delivery, and better organization. He details the inadequacies of the existing systems and outlines how a new approach, empowered by local departments, can provide significant benefits to both the public and the state revenues. The author supports his proposals with observations on previous administrative failures and presents a systematic approach aimed at improving the efficiency of postal transportation across France.
