Summary "Opinion de Defrance, sur les postes et messageries: Séance du 16 Pluviôse, an V" is a legislative document authored by Defrance during the late 18th century, specifically during the period of the French Revolution. This book serves as a detailed analysis and proposal concerning the administration of postal and messaging services in France. It addresses the inefficiencies and financial struggles faced by these essential public services and discusses potential solutions. In the text, Defrance examines the various administrative systems for managing the postal services, comparing the current state of "régie" (government administration) to the concept of "ferme" (contracting out to private entities). He outlines the issues stemming from mismanagement, inefficiency, and financial deficits that have plagued the postal system. Through a structured argument, he advocates for the adoption of a mixed contract system known as "ferme intéressée," which he believes would optimize service efficiency and improve national revenue. The conclusion emphasizes the urgency of implementing these reforms to prevent complete disorganization and enhance the functionality of postal and messaging services critical for commerce and communication in the Republic.
