THE LONDON POST-OFFICE DIRECTORY TOR 1863.
—The new issue of this, the bulkiest and most indispensable
of our London annuals, has just appeared, larger by fifty
pages than its predecessor. The features of the " Post-office
Directory " are too well known to need description, and its
arrangement is too well consolidated to admit of material
change. Minor improvements and additions, however, con-
tinue to be made, and this year the Directory appears
with an introduction, exhibiting utilities in the volume
which might escape notice on a su?erficial survey, and
showing bow they are to be realised. There are also, for
the first time, lists of vestry clerks and populations. The
corrections are, as usual, brought down to the latest

the poor. The publication of sound instruction in these
matters is most timely and useful just now. Without pre-
tending to give an original opinion on this little work, we
may state that we happen to know that it has been pre-
pared by one of the most competent men in the whole
kingdom, at the suggestion of a Lancashire gentleman of
conspicuous philanthropy.
