Title: Rates of postage in Malta 1815-1819 Abstract: In the early days of British rule when Malta was a trade emporium, it was hit by a widespread plague epidemic which carried away 4,572 persons, not as bad as that of 1675-76 which left more than double that figure as victims. Towards the end of July 1813 there was a slight decrease in the incidence of cases, which improved in the following month with life getting back to normal. On August 20th 1813 the Officio della Posta was housed in the Treasury at 247 Strada Reale (now Republic Street), Valletta, (since 1852, now the premises of the prestigious club Casino Maltese) where it remained until 1849.
