"My dear Sir—l was very glad to find from you. when I had the pleasure of seeing you in London, that you were interested commercially in Cod Liver Oil. It was fitting that the Author of the best analysis and investigations into the properties of this Oil should hunself be the Purveyor of this important medicine, " 1 feel, however, some diffidence in venturing to fulfil your request by giving you my opinion Of the quality of the oil of which you gave me a sample; because I know that no one can be better, and few so well, acquainted with the physical and chemical properties of this medicine as yourself, whom 1 regard as the highest authority on the subject. " I can, however, have no hesitation about the propriety of re• sponding to your application. The oil which you gave ins was of the very finest quality, whether considered with referee, e tat its colour, flavour, or chemical properties: and I am satisfied that for fuediciusl purposes no finer oil can be procured.

EXTHACTE VEOII REVIEWII or 'THE VOLUME FOB 1800: " We have been at some little pains to try the accuracy of these several departments, sud can have no hesitation In saying that the result of our search has been quite satisfactory. Morning Advertiser, Nov. 2.1854. " This huge and 11E11/Wllle volume is exceedingly creditable to the industry and skill of its publishers. The Guide to Govern ment and other Public Of N much improved, and a very valuable Court Guide to the Environs is likewise added, this last we tested by looking for the names of several of our friends, and found them without any difficulty. The excellent ' Patent External Index,' which we commended highly last year, is again employed, and gives great facilities for reigning promptly to the enormous work."—A Hoe, Oct. 28,1844. " We notice in the present publication severed new features of great service to those who have occasion to refer to these 111E1111E13. The Directory of the Environs of London, both as concerns tradesmen and gentry, is a welcome novelty. The volume includes such recent facts as the promotion of Lord Burgherali, and the death of the Earl of Abingdon."—Moraing /le•ralti, Oct. 20. leMi.

In respect to the second distinguishing merit, we rind, on examination, that the entire work has been corrected down to the latest possible period."—horningtairtnacie, Oct. 24, 1854.

The En virons of the Metropolis, moreover, becoming every day more important and densely populated, are honoured with au Alpha betical lAA of Trades and Professions, and a Court Ouide of their own, each envirou being kept separate as before. It is needless to say that the ' Petent External Index,' which proved so useful a feature in the last volume, is retained with manifest advantage in the one before us..—Sissillsy Timm, Oct. 911, 1854. "The great variety of information which it contains, and the admirable manner in which it is digested. are at once apparent oil the very face of the volume."--Jalin Bail, Oct. 2s, VOL This is truly a magnificent volume. Ole feature which Brim:Whim this Directory from all others is the External Index, by which any division of this immense volume can be readily referred to."—Patriot, Oct. 20, 1854. " Watkins's Commercial and General London Directory for 1855 disproves the old saying that a great book it a great evil. This monster volume is, on the contrary, a very great public benefit. The tact and the care bestowed in the accumulation of information, and its proper systematic arrangement, must have been immense."—Uaiteri Serriee ()turtle, out.

" Mr. Watkins competes with the Post•011ic• in issuing a Directory, and as competition is the life of trade, in this case it may be said to be the soul of business; fur the difference be tween the two Directories is, that y o u can turn to the various departments of the one which Mr. Watkins has given us with momentary expedition, inasmuch as the guide is outside for the tinger•nails."—Empire, Oct. 2 , 4, Pill.
