The Court Di rec t ory i nc l u d es the names Officers, twenty-five thousand persons not engaged in trade, and takes a wider range than any other work of the kind. The information respecting the Post-office will be found eminently useful to persons of every description ; and among other additions made to it for this year is one of great impor tance, showing the time at which a letter from London should be ddivered at any place in England or Wales, and the tine at which the letter-box for London closes in each place. The facilities afforded by the Postmaster-General give the compilers advan tages which could not otherwise be obtained. The informa • tion is furnished from the Post-office gratuitously, it is of the latest possible date, and has been all collected or confirmed within the last two months. We have bad little time vet to test its accuracy, but have no doubt that it fully maintains, in that respect, the high character of that published for the year 1841. The work is beautifully printed, sold at a model a+e price, and will be found of great service to persons in every rank of life. EAST INDIA HOUSE, J AN . 26, 1842.

The object of this Company is to connect Gravesend w .th S. rood, Rochester, Brompton, and Chatham, by converting the Thames and Medway Canal into a Railway. Satisfactory arrangements have been made with the Thames and Medway Canal Company. The cost if making the Railway, including Land, Stations Engines, Carriages, and Working Stock, is estimated at 117,115/. ; but in order to meet every contingency, it is pro posed to raise 150,0001. by the issue of 6.000 shares of 251. each, upon which a deposit of 2/. 10s. per share is to be made. The subscribers of tke amount now to be raised are to be en titled to interest at Si. per cent. per annum upon the amount of their Deposits and Calls, until the opening of the Railway, and from that time they are to have a preference of receiving interest at the same rate, out of the profits of the under taking, before any dividend is paid to the other Proprie tors, until the expiration of twelve months, when they are to have the option of continuing to receive five per cent. per annum, or of sharing the profits in common with the other Proprietors. Considerably above one thousand persons, at the present sea son of the year daily travel between Gravesend and Roches ter, and there can be no doubt but that during the summer months that amount will be very greatly increased. The number of Passengers landed and embarked on the Piers at Gravesend, between the Ist of August, 1840, and the Ist of August, 1811, was 963,650. It is estimated that there will be at least 75Q,000 Passengers annually conveyed upon this Railway, producing, according to a moderate calculation, 36,250/., to which may be added 1,2501. for goods, parcels, &c. ; thus making the total receipts 37,500/., which, after de ducting 13,5001. for the working expenses of the Line, will leave a net annual revenue of 24,000/, equal to 8 per cent. upon an assumed Capital of 300.0001. This is founded upon merely doubling the existing traffic ; whereas the result of almott every other line of Railway would justify a much larger increase. The Provisional Committee have submitted the plan of this Railway to Mr. Rastrick, who has reported most favourably upon it, as having advantages which are not possessed by ether Railways, and which cannot fail to make it a safe investment for capital. It is intended to apply to Parliament in the ensuing Session for power to carry the above undertaking into effect, and such Shareholders in the Thames and Medway Canal Company as are de,irous of taking Shares in the further Capital are re quested to signify their intention immediately.

' The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, usele., and even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our minds, are with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is he ir . —Old En g land. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled " Manhood," is one of the few books now coming before the public on such a subject which can lay claim to tie character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu able.—Magnet. The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strongly recommend the work.—Age. The multitude of books daily coming from the press, same, nay most of them of a very questionable tendency, made us ex tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita • ' tinn in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed tend edified. The dear exposition of the source of many of those diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set dovvn by the every-day observer as the result of common causes, such as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe rature, hereditary taint, km, is truly convincing and extre mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactory." inasmuch as Messrs. Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulannviry Consumption, Epilepsy, &c., hitherto the opprobria of medi cine, may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to judi cious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination as any other class of ffections. We do not think we go too far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the and sfor producing so useful , so vouch wanted , so valuable, so truly moral a book.—Conservative Journal. We recommend the work entitled " Manhood," rte., to the careful perusal of persona of all classes. The moral as wel as physical advantages sure to result from such perusal, will be most readily recognised and felt by those who stand most in need of them.—Statcsman. Messrs.

We have been favoured with a sight of this elaborate work ; and we must pronounce it vastly superior to the previous vo lumes. The contents are admirably arranged. There is a dis tinct alphabetical list of the names, in number, of all civil officers under Government, in the Bank of England, East India House, and all other public establishments ; an alphabetical list of streets in the metropolis and its vicinity, with the inhabit ants according to their numerical order in each street ; the only Street . Directory yet published which includes gentry as well as traders. There is also a list of all officers, from the Lord Chan cellor down to the Usher of the most inferior Court; Police Courts, with their officers and jurisdictions ; alphabetical lists of Queen's Serjeants, Queen's Counsel, Sergeants at law, Benchers, Barristers, Special Pleaders, Conveyancers,'Proctors, Attorneys, Notaries, &c. The names of all persons in the metropolis and its immediate vicinity not engaged in trade, are given with the most accurate lists yet published of the New Parliament, and the most sec' nt addresses of the Members of both Houses. There are, besides, the name and addresses of City Officers and Common Councilmen ; City Companies and their clerks ; lists of sworn brokers; Lieutenancy of the City, &c. A list is given of all the principal places in England, Ireland, and Scot land, distinguishing those which grant and pay money orders, and referring to the money. order office nearest to those which do not; and an alphabetical list of the streets of London, with a reference from each to the nearest receiving-house which grants and pays money-orders. This will afford the opportunity in all cases, in town and country, of applying to the nearest office for a money-order, and of obtaining it upon the office most contiguous to the residence of the party in whose favour it is drawn. Another important introduction this year shows the time at which a letter from London should be delivered at any place in England or Wales, and the time at which the letter-box for London closes in each place; thus affording the opportunity of calculating in all cases the " return of post." Independent of all this informa tion, we have copious accounts of all conveyances by railways, stage-coaches, waggons, vans, carts, vessels, barges, and boats ; with complete accounts of all the bankers, joint-stock banks, and banking establishments of the United Kingdom ; the names of the Directors and officers of the various Assurance Companies, with the rates of Assurance, &c., are also furnished in ample detail. One great feature in this work is, that it directs an individual to the position of any number in the street, by noting the intersection of churches, courts, streets, lanes, alleys, &c., between one house and another. It often happens that a person may forget the name of the tradesman he wants, although he knows the street. The Street Direc tory in this book helps him out of this difficulty by giving the names of the inhabitants of each house of No. 1 upwards. Sunday Times, December 5, 1841. This useful work is just published ; it is, in short, a com mercial, trades, law, court, parliamentary, city, postage, con veyance, banking, and an official Directory. It contains an almanack, list of stamp duties, Post-office rules, and, in fact, a body of intelligence toe great for detail. Respecting :the accuracy of such a work, it is, of course, impossible to speak ; the most inveterate Magliabechi that ever gulped quartos, or bolted folios, would scarcely undertake the perusal of a Direc tory. It is not saying too much to declare that the Post-office Directory is a work unexampled even in this country. To ap proximate closely to the communication of the names, resi dences, and trades of the inhabitants of London, is a task from which a literary Hercules might flinch. Railway Magazine, December 4, 1841. Judging from the great superiority of the last edition of this work over its competitors, we did not anticipate the improve ments which have been effected in the present, which not only place this Directory at the head of the list, but must drive the others out of the field. An entirely new division has been introduced, viz., the " Official Directory," which furnishes the full names and positions of all persons holding public situations under Government, the East India Company, the Bank, &c. The scope of that important branch, the " Street Directory," has been very considerably extended ; and thou sands are now included, who reside without the narrow limits beyond which our books of reference have not before passed : here we have a register of all, whether dwelling in Barns bury Park, Basinghall-street, or Belgrave-square, in King's road, Chelsea, or in Kingsland ; and one of the great advan tages peculiar to this publication is, that all inhabitants are inserted in their nu ~erical order. We know of no other street list in which either all the gentry, or all the mer chants, traders, and tradesmen are not—incredible as the fact may appear—entirely omitted. We may mention that it gives the names of the Directors of most of the Railway and Insurance Companies, and a complete List of Officers of Joint- Stock Companies. The " Parliamentary Directory" is co- Fious ; in it the offices held by every Peer and Commoner are accurately detailed, even to the recent appointment of Lord Ellenborough as Governor-General of India, and of his suc cessor at the India Board, Lord Fitzgerald. The " Postage Directory " furnishes much original and highly valuable in formation in reference to Money Orders, and to the precise time of the deliveries of letters throughout the country. A volume so valuable as this will be generally appreciated. It does honour to the establishment which can put forth so vast an amount of authentic information of character so diversified; and it refle.:ts credit on those who Lave so arranged it that the work is equally a model of compilation and of typography. We cannot but think that a title more appropriate than merely " Post-office London Directory " might be chosen. The work surely merits a name that would convey a definite idea of in formation so vast and varied, uniting as it does, in one volume, the class of similarGuide,,Court publications.i rad Cort Kalendar, and superseding ha whole Britannia, November 27, 1841. The old proverb says, it is good to let well alone ; but, we see no possible reason why well should be left to stand still, so long as better is clearly attainable ; and such appears to be the opinion of the enterprising proprietors of the' Post-office Lon don Directory." The present edition is superior in many re spects, to any of its predecessors. On its first appearance, it was a neat and correct pocket-volume—nothing more; but it has gone on improving and augmenting from year to year, till, by the mere force of its manifest superiority, it has fairly beaten every competitor out of the held, and become, from the variety, copiousness, and accuracy of its information, an indispensable requisite to every count ing-house and shop in the metropolis and its suburbs. It would be quite impossible, in a brief notice, to give anything like an adequate idea of the contents of a closely-printed royal octavo volume, running to upwards of 1,500 pages. It can only be justly described as a series of Directories, each one complete in itself, and each of peculiar value to every per son engaged in business. For instance, is the residence of any particular person required, a reference to the " Commer cial" or " Court Directory" will at once give the desired in formation. If a complete list of all persons engaged in any one of the vatious professions or trades exercised in the me tropolis is sought, turn to the " Trades' Directory," and you have, ready to your hand, arranged in alphabetical order, and with the residence attached, a return of every ac countant, apothecary, artist, &rc., &c., within the limits of the bills of mortality. It is the same with every other depart ment of the work. 'We have never seen any volume containing so much matter, so well divided, and clearly arranged. The intimate connexion of the Proprietor with the Post-office en sured him the most accurate information ; and his printers' extensive printing-office and steam-presses enabled him to issue his sheets with surprising rapidity ; se that every change is made up almost to the day of publication. The whole book is worthy of the mighty city it anatomises ; the most correct, as well as the most useful, record of its industry, its vastness, and its intelligence; and, if we keep in mind the enterprise neces. sary for the conception of such a work, the immense care re quired in its preparation, the enormous capital required to pro duce it, and, considering its bulk and variety, the surprisingly low price at which it is issued, we must pronounce it, notwith standing the typographical wonders daily issued from the press, the most surprising volume to which the first city in the world has yet given birth. John Bull, November 27, 1841. Again we have to bestow our praise on the completeness and cheapness of the multifarious information comprised in the Post-office London Directory.", which comprehends within one moderately sized volume, of clear and easy reference, a Commercial, 'f rades', Law, Court, and Parliamentary Direc tory. It is at once the fullest volume of the kind, the most ex act, has the most recent intelligence—the information it em bodies having been collected within the last seventy days from official sources, and through agents possessing the requisite lo cal knowledge, and is altogether the completest guide-book to the metropolis that has hitherto appeared. Spectator, Dec. 4, 1841. • This extensive work still continues to grow. Besides a revi sion and extension of the other branches, the Official Directory has now been increased so as to form a division of itself. This part, like the other sections of the subject, is subdivided ; one part containing a list of Government and other public offices, under which the names and employments of the persons are arranged ; the other presents an alphabetical list of persons holding offices under the Crown, in the East India House, Bank of England, &c. And such a muster-roll I—an army, nay, a population, of place-holders Nonconformist, December 8, 1841. Another edition of this colossal work has just issued from the steam presses of Messrs. Kelly and Co., 19 and 20, Bos well-court, Temple Bar. The greatest credit is due to all parties connected with the compilation of this book, for the assiduity which must have been exercised, as well as the talent displayed in the execution of every branch of it. This has been achieved by dint of great labour. As a whole, we look upon the Post-office Directory as the most complete work of the kind not believe e that any ever published. National Advertiser, Dec. 18, 1841. This work is in 1,527 imperial octa vo p a g es, and the stud y of the compilers appears to have been to render each page a speci men of systematic arrang e m ent, and of how much information it is givensar pa l c y e.Wed do ont be approaching perfection. fhe resources of the Post-office, and mighty they are proved to work possible of theto convey kind exists in a ne so be, are here wrought out into every useful variety of combina tion, and to each division of the book has been imparted a labo rious finish, that only those accustomed to literary labour can entirely appreciate. We never before saw a Directory which included an Official Kalendar, a Law Guide, and a Peerage and Parliamentary Chronicle, besides all the Nobility and Gentry, Merchants, Professional men, and Shopkeepers of the metro polis and its vicinity. Globe, December I, 1841, This useful " Annual" comprises among other information, an Official Street, Commercial, Trades, Law, Court, Parlia mentary, City, Postage, Conveyance, and Banking Directories. It is only necessary to announce the publication itself, and to add that arranged as it as been with great care and attention, aided by sources of official information peculiar to itself, it may be taken as a safe guide in the various matters upon which it professes to enlighten the public.

Sin—You - will, I feel assured, permit me to amend a mistake of some importance in your notice of the Gene ral Meeting of this Company, on:Monday, the 24th inst. The Directors, by a resolution of the Proprietors in 1839, were required to proceed with the works so soon as the first call should be paid on five-sixths of the shares then subscribed for. A Proprietor, on Monday, urged that the Directors had commenced before this prescribed number of pay ments had been attained. I therefore showed, not (as your reporter appears to have understood) that " 480 shares were paid upon for the last call;" but that, even allowing the objector his own figures for the calculation, the preseribed number upon the first call had been more than attained before the works were commenced, and that at the present mo ment that number was exceeded by 480 shares. I may mention that the object of the meeting was, not to raise an additional 100,000/., but to alter the mode of raising 100,0001. of the Company's present capital. I have, &c.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. • _ Sin,—As the Session of Parliament is drawing nigh, I beg, as one suffering under the Provision -laws (the protection of the aristocracy), to suggest to the Ulm.- trious Visitors now in this country a clear evidence of the misery now existing in this metropolis, and to prove to her Majesty that Corn-law opponents are not actuated by factious motives in their agitation on the subject, by all persons starving and out of employment greeting their amiable mistress with the cry "Free Trade, and More Bread," on the occasion of the Houses assembling. All avenues to the Palace are so strictly guarded, as the memorials and addresses on the subject lately pre sented fully testify ; they only beinc , allowed to meet her eye through the rat Secretary of the Home Department. The monopolist's of 1842 must fly before the public indignation as the boroughmongers did in 1830. Let our visitors be made aware that claret and bur gundy may flow copiously at Windsor, but bread and meat are luxuries to the poor, and that the christening . of the heir to the throne is regarded as a prelude to in creased taxation, and diminished means of support to the working classes, the true pillar of the State.

The writ for the election of a Member for the borough of Leominster, will be issued immediately after the meeting of Parliament.

About a month,ago, it was confidently stated among . the constituency of Leo minster that a gentleman of great wealth, residing in the neighbourhood, whose attachment to Liberal principles admits of no question, would offer himself to the electors; and if he had done so, there is no doubt, from his great popularity, that he would have been triumphantly elected. It is much to be regretted that, up to the present time, lie should not have announced his - intention to stand. The Liberal cause in Leominster runs the risk ol being seriously injured through his dilatory proceedings. But the Liberal phalanx in the town is staunch and true, and we may be sure that they will not again allow the Tories to ride roughshod over them, without a most se vere struggle. At the present time,we are not able to state who the gentleman may be who will have the honour of being solicited by the Liberals of Leominster to become a candidate for the representation of the borough ; but there is no doubt whatever that he will, in every way, be admirably qualified for the trust. The Tories are well aware that the Liberals are strong enough to return a candidate ; and they, therefore, dread the very idea of opposition, and by boasting loudly of their strength, hope to deter any one from entering into a contest. But their cunning artifices will not prevail—a Liberal candi date can, and will be returned for Leominster. THEATRICALS. The Garrick Club at Cambridge have been giving two performances for the benefit of the distressed Printers, by which, we are happy to say, a sum of upwards of 50/. was realized, after paying all the expenses. On the first night the comedy of The Wonder was played, fol lowed by the farce of Love, Law, and Physic ; and on the second evening Sheridan Knowles's beautiful play of The if ife was performed, with the after-piece of Kill or Cure. The male characters were well supported by amateurs ; the female characters being performed by professionals expressly engaged for the occasion. Among these Miss Montgomery, late of the Southampton Theatre, is deserving of especial notice, from her beau tiful delineation of the character of Marianne in The Rye. This young lady copies nature, and not her predecessors, and her acting goes at once to the heart. She has created quite a sensation in Cambridge. Ma dame de Courcy, an English lady with a French name, performed the character of Mrs. Brown in Kill or Cure, with admirable humour. This lady is new to the stage, but she promises one day to take a lead in the perform ance of soubrettes. She sings very tastefully, which in an actress is a great acquisition. PRIVATE PUPIL.

UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE OF FICE, 1, KING WILLIAM-STREET, LONDON. The Rates of this Office, founded on the most accurate ob servations of the duration of human life, are as moderate as is c,nsistent with perfect secgrity. One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five preceding years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders ; three- fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen contingencies. The first division of profits took place on the 13th of May, 1840, when a reduction of 60 per Cent. was declared on the current annual premiums of all those policies entitled to parti cipation. The second division of profits was in May, 1841, when a similar reduction was again declared. The following table will show the operation of the reduction made by the Society : ----- -, Age Reduced wh e n Date ot Sum Origi nal Reduction P Pohey was Policy. Assured. Premium.

Policies are granted in London, and by resident Committees at Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay, on India risks, at very ad vantageous rates, calculated from extensive data and tables, ex clusively in the possession of this Society,to show the true risk of life dur'ng residence in India, and after retirement from foreign service.

Mr. M‘Letchie, of Leith, to be assistant and successor to the Rev. Dr. Lockhart, of the College Church. This occurrence marks, in a very striking manner, the disgust which has been excited in the minds of the rational portion of the community by the extravagant doings of the wild clergy. Previously to the last Munici pal elections the 'Non-intrusionists almost equalled in numbers their opponents in the Council ; and if we go a little further back, we find them in a triumphant majority, returning regularly an elder tl the Ge neral Assembly in support of the dominant party in the Kirk. Such, however, was the feeling engendered by the mad proceedings of the cletical tyrants, that in November last their power was laid com pletely prostrate ; and we have now witnessed a minis ter elected from the Moderate side of the Church, by a majority of 18 to 12, in the once priest-ridden but now emancipated Town Council of Glasgow. We think there is something like an evidence of re-action here ; and the Council having now freed themselves from priestly thral dom, we trust there is little danger that the eonstitueney will again permit them to relapse into their former sta t e of bolittage.— Calve ?V A 7 gas'.

" The plaintiff's publication was one of c onsiderable bulk, and most probably of great utility : anti so the Vice-Chan cellor of England must have thought by granting the injunc tion ex parte, and continuing that proceeding upon motion made to dissolve it." Vide " Times" of 20th December, 1841. —Judgment of his Honour Vice Chancedor Knight Bruce, confirming the Injunc tion obtained against the " Post-Office Almanac," for pirating Post-Office Directory." The following Reviews of the Complete Directory have al ready appeared Times, December 3, 1841. This useful matter-of-fact volume has just been published by "Mesirs. Kelly and Co., of Old Boswell- cour t,T emple-bar, and will no doubt be, as it ought to be, in the hands of every merchant, banker, and tradesman in the country. It is, independently of its utility, by which it is rendered indis pensable to every counting-house and shop, a curious sta tistical monument of the extent, importance, trade, and wealth of the metropolis, and as such a document de.erving ti•e attention even of persons who arc not immediately is terested in commercial and business pursuits. The pres,nt volume for 1842 contains some important new matter, with which the preceding volumes were not furnished—it has an im portant addition, " The official Directory," an alphabetical list of all persons holding situations under the Crown, of all persons holding situations in the East India House, in the Bank of England, and in the various law, city offices, and all other public offices. This addition is of itself enough to show the great pains taken by the Proprietors to render the book perfect. There is also some useful information given relative to the " Money Order-office," to which, if the publ i c would pay more atte ntion than they have hitherto done, less would be heard of the loss of money by the transmission of remittances by post in the manner usually adopted. The number of stamps is•ued to the various newspapers published throughout England and Wales is given, together with the amount of stamp duties on advertisements paid by each paper respectively, and, indeed a mass of information is brought together from which the best informed may derive some increase of knowledge, and to which the attention of the most ignorant and careless can hardly be called in vain. As far as the cursory examination can justify an opinion, and it is next to impossible to pay to such a work as this the minute attention it deserves, it appears to be compiled with indefatigable industry, extreme vigilance and an excellent judgment for arrangement. Morning Chronicle, December 21, 1841. We have had occasion to commend the extraordinary diligence and accuracy shown in getting up the " Post -office Directory" for former years, and,no less praise is due to the publication of the present volume. It contains the same immense mass of information relative to the metropolis, which renders the work one of the roost astonishing monuments of the greatness of London that can well be conceived. This information appears classified, distributed and arranged in a variety of ways so as to make the facility of reference nearly perfect. The corrections necessary from the changes of a year appear, as far as it is possible to judge, to have been carefully made, and it would be difficult to over-estimate the labour involved in such corrections. We recommend it to the favourable consi deration of the public ; and, in fact, it must be regarded as indis pensable in every house or office where business is trans acted. To those, if there be any, who have not seen it, it will c nvey the best notion of the variety of its contents to say, that the single volume of 1,500 pages contains a Streets' Directory —Trades' Directory—Law Directory—City—Parliamentary — Courts—Postage —Banking—and Official and Conveyance Directories—each a large work, and complete in itself ; though the whole are requisite to a publication which professes to be a Directory for London. Morning Herald, Nev. 30, 1841. This is a most. complete and extremely useful work. It em braces every point of interest in and near the metropolis that can affect the wants of the community at large, and is service able to all classes of society. Under one general head, it con tains a series of Directories, in which are enumerated all the trades, s t re ets, names, official designations, Parliamentary, legal, banking, and Post-office references, that are in daily re quisition ; and, while it is of the most ample dimens'ons (ex tending over 1,500 pages) is accurate in the minutest particu. lars. No public office or mercantile house should, in fact, be without it. Morning Post, December 29, 1841. pretty they The charge, whether true or false, brou g ht a g ainst the may be, they are of tt i p u blication. Within the single Boswell -court, neatly brought out by Messrs Kelly a nd Co.. of Old well-court, T em pl e .b ar , ile or ualnso," use,t that, however cannot howev ine r any degree apply to this singular Ann is comprised all t he information that ca n b e use f u l to t h e fashionable, legal , or commercial communities. '° It in cludes a " Cou rt Directory," which alone contains about fire and-twenty thousand name. , ; a " Law Directory" of the most ample description, giving `, among_er other details, no fewer than sixteen large pages of a index 'oral List of Stamps ;" an ' Official Directory, with e an c of six thousand persons holding situations under th . rown, in the Bank, the East India House, and other public departments ; the C- I cial Directory," andathe fullest . and most complete that has ever yet appeared , a variety of miscellaneous matter which it is impossible to particularise here. In short, from our own observation, we ca n safely pronounce this work a sine qua non to everybody who desires to become acquainted with the great metropolitan world of London. Shipping and Mercantile Gazette, Dec. 22, 1841. On our reference from time to time to the Post-office Direc tory of 1841, we felt convinced that nothing could have been produced more perfect for . the purposes fur which the huge compilation was 'designed ; _it _appears, however, we were mis taken. The thick volume b f , e ?re us is vastly superior to the last, and is unquestionably ' the most complete work of the kind ever published ;' t he information is so judiciously classi fied, that although it extends over some fift een h un d re d l arge closely printed pales, es, every department o f t h e comp il a ti on migHt be consulte in a few seconds. It is surprising how such a mass of intelligence can have beed collected and ar ranged so accurately, ex peditiously, and cheaply, neither of which could of course be accomplished without the extensive and peculiar resources of the Ge.neral Post -office. No count ing-house, coffee- rooin , or public office, should be without this excellent record. Sun, November 2.5, 1841. We have great pleasure in noticing this useful work, of which we hove received an early copy. It exceeds the size of the Directory of last year, and probably is the most complete and correct town-guide yet published. The following outline of the contents will enable the reader to form some idea of the vast undertaking. It contains an Official Directory, with the names alphabetically arranged, of all civil officers under Go vernment, in the Bank of England, East India House, and all other public establishments. A Street Directory, which in eludes gentry as we ll as traders; and subjoined to this, are two ' I others, giving the names, at full length, of sixty thousand per- //.e 7 0* -- -› - z - i i 0 ‘g . 7 ' 7_ _~ i 4 _ ~- ~.
