Black chambers were common during the 1700s, but that of Vienna— the Geheime Kabinets-Kanzlei—was reputed to be the best in all Europe. It ran with almost unbelievable efficiency. The bags of mail for delivery that morning to the embassies in Vienna were brought to the black chamber each day at 7 a.m. There the letters were opened by melting their seals with a candle. The order of the letters in an envelope was noted and the letters given to a subdirector. He read them and ordered the important parts copied
