| Summary | "Mémoire pour le service actuel des messageries" by Bazile Durdan is a historical account written during the late 18th century. This book details the evolution and administrative challenges of the French postal and messaging system, particularly focusing on the organization and conduct of public transport services in the Kingdom of France. The text highlights the transformation from a system of separate contractors to a more centralized management approach. In this work, Durdan outlines the background and development of the messagerie service, beginning with its origins linked to the University of Paris and evolving through royal intervention and reform. He discusses the various management regimes over the years, including the challenges faced by the current company managing the service, particularly in terms of adapting to changes in traffic, customer expectations, and efficiency amid financial constraints. Moreover, he emphasizes the necessity of maintaining a privileged status for messageries to ensure reliable service against private carriers that may offer less regulation and security. By analyzing the structure, responsibilities, and privileges of the messaging service, Durdan advocates for its continuation and suggests improvements that would benefit both the public and the state.
