The words 'Convention' and 'Feudatory' in this case solely refer to postal arrangements with/in relation to British India.

Famous quotes containing the words postal and/or purposes:
“none
Thought of the others they would never meet
Or how their lives would all contain this hour.

Its postal districts packed like squares of wheat:”

“Researchers, with science as their authority, will be able to cut [animals] up, alive, into small pieces, drop them from a great height to see if they are shattered by the fall, or deprive them of sleep for sixteen days and nights continuously for the purposes of an iniquitous monograph.... “Animal trust, undeserved faith, when at last will you turn away from us? Shall we never tire of deceiving, betraying, tormenting animals before they cease to trust us?””
—Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (1873–1954)
