The territory of the Taxis posts shrank between the years 1790 and 1811 from 3,922 square (German) miles to 745 square (German) miles, and a number of territorial posts took the place of the Imperial posts. In 1810 there were no less than 43 of these territorial posts.—Die Brieftaxe in Deutschland, Freiburg im Breisgau, 1862, p. 4; C. F.
