Kelly and Co., of Great Queen-street, have just brought
out a new edition of their " Post-office Direetory" 01 the
Midland and the adjoining counties including Bedford-
shire, Berkshire, Oxforciabire, Buckinghamshire, Hunt-
ingdonshire, and Northamptonshire. We have put.
considerable portion of the vAtinies to a acme Aost
severe tact, and ,u n any every carte we have tenon toe
information which it comprises Loth anti:Lint:a and car,
fully brought down to the present time. Wnak a•iti-
quarian matter it contains seems well selected, a d will •
recommend the work doubtless to all members of the
Archaeological Association and Institute. ihs anti-
quary will also feel grateful to Itellis,s Kelly LI their
far lifut reproduction—apparantly by the process of
photo-lithography —et old maps of these several Counties
as they existed in the early part of the reign of James 1.
In the general topography of each county is en.hodied a
geological sketch of the same—the work, we are given to
understand, of Mr. William J. Harrison, of the Museum
at Leicester. So far as we can judge, no effort has
been spared to render the book as perfect as such a
work can be ' • lists of the Hundreds and oi the Poor Law
Unions have been included in the topography of each
county. Under each parish it is stated in what
Hundred, what Union, what County Court District,
what Arehdeaconary, and what Rural Deanery it is situ-
ated, and the College and University degrees of all the
clergy, both in the incumbents and curates, hav‘i been
inserted so lax its they could be ascertained. Undei each
parish is given the name of the " Parish Clerk;" even
the names of the farm bailiffs of the squirearchy are re-
corded ; there are full notices of the money order and
telegraph offices, and Post-office Savings Banks.
Ilse Proprietors respectfully request the favour of tit
gentlemen in their enipiuy persohally seen on theie
app.'ying for information, and that the precise speliing or
the is me, &c., may be given to them.
