PURE AND UNADULTERATED.

The great difficulty of obtaining genuine and good Cod Liver
Oil has long prevented a just appreciation of its acknowledged
remedial virtues, and precluded many suffering invalids from re-
alising the beneficial effects of this truly valuable medicine.
Dr. DE JONGH'S Light Brown Cod Liver Oil is of the best kind
and finest quality, being extracted from the liver of the Dome—
(Indus Callarlas, a species of cod fish caught at the great fishery
of the Loffoden Isles—by a process yielding a much larger pro-
portion of iodine, phosphate of lime, volatile acid, the elements
of the bile, and other essential principles, than the Pale Oils
manufactured in England and Newfoundland, which, by their
mode of preparation, are deprived in a great measure of their
active elements.
The well-merited celebrity of Dr. DE JONGIeR OIL is attested
by its extensive use in France, Germany, Holland, Belgium, and
Italy; by numerous spontaneous testimonials from eminent
members of the faculty and scientific chemists of European repu-
tation, and, since its recent introduction into this country, by
the marked confidence as well as great success with which it has
been prescribed by medical practitioners.
In many instances where other kinds of Cod Liver Oil had
been taken with little or no benefit, it has produced almost im-
mediate relief, arrested disease, and restored health.
SOLD IN LONDON by ANSAR, HARFORD, and CO., 77,

by them, CARRIAGE FREE, to all parts of town.

- -

INSTITUTED 1820.
SAMUEL HIBBERT, Esq., Chairman.
WILLIAM R. ROBINSON, Esq., Deputy• Chairman.
The Scale of Premiums adopted by this Office will be found of
a very moderate character, but at the same time quite adequate
to the risk incurred.
Four-fifths. or 80 per cent. of the Profits, are assigned to Po-
licies every fifth year, and may be applied to increase the sum in-
sured, to an immediate payment in cash, or to the reduction and
ultimate extinction of future Premiums.
One-third of the Premium on Insurances of 5001. and upwards,
for the whole term of life, may remain as a debt upon the Policy,
to be paid off at convenience; or the Directors will lend sums of
501. and upwards, on the security of Policies effected with this
Company for the whole term of life, when they have acquired an
adequate value.
SECURITY.—Those who effect Insurances with this Company
are protected by its subscribed capital of 750,0001., of which
nearly 140,0001. is invested, from the risk incurred by members of
Mutual Societies.
The satisfactory financial condition of the Company, exclusive
of the Subscribed and Invested Capital, will be seen by the fol-
lowing statement :
On the 31st October, 1853, the sums Assured, in-
cluding Bonus added, amounted to 22,500,000
The Premium Fund to more than ~,. BOO,OOO

POST-OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY
FOR 1835. Now publishing, he 2,620 Imperial Octavo
pages. The work has been so greatly extended, that the division
entitled " Street Directory" contains 152,416 names, being about
Thirty-Eight Thousand more than have ever appeared in the cor-
responding division of any other book. Its distinguiehing feature
is, that in it all the streets, squares, crescents, etc., dcc.,ot the me-
tropolis and its suburbs, appear in one general alphabetical ar-
rangement; it is, therefore, the only work in which the occupant
of any house can be ascertained.
The 152,416 names are carried into all the classifications to
which they are appropriate, each in its proper alphabetical
position ; all the members of any profession or trade, whether in
the metropolis or its suburbs, are (in the " Trades " division)
arranged alphabetically in one list. This being the only work
in which they are so, is the only one in which all the members
of any trade can be ascertained.
The nobility, gentry, and professional persons resident in Lon-
don and its suburbs are included in the onetgenerel " Court.'
alphabetical list, now so greatly extended that it includes up-
wards of forty-four thousand names.
An accurately-compiled" Conveyance Directory," so eompre-
hensive as to include all the Railway Stations and Money-Order
Offices iu Great Britain, is included in the volume, which also
contains a large amount of miscellaneous information, as—
House of Peers, in their order of precedence—Provincial Inns,
with their holders—Arrangements of the Law Courts—Names
of all Postmasters in England and Wales—Periodical Publica-
tions, with their Publishers—not any part of which is to be
found in any other London Directory. It besides has (exclu-
sively) ;that most important adjunct, an Index to Streets, Places,
Chambers, Wharfs, etc., &c., with full Money-Order information.
" It is just in proportion as this vigilance is exercised that a
Directory becomes valuable or useless ; and an inspection of the
work before us unquestionably leads to toe conclusion that, upon
the score of watchfulness and accuracy, nothing is lett to be
desired."—Times, Nov. 23. 1851.
"The copiousness and accuracy of the ' Post-office London
Directory' are wonderful."—Moraing Chronicle, Nov. 9, 1854.
" Its reputation for accuracy and completeness defies the
least whisper of suspicion or reproach."—Morning Herald, Nov.
6, 1854.
" After carefully examining the book in its
eat several sub-divi.
aims, we feel bound to acknowledge itt very gr accuracy."—
Morning Advertiser, Nov. 7, 1854.
"The number for the ensuing year, however, far excels all
that hove gone before it."—Standard, Nov. 7, 1854.

huge metropolis of the world."—Sun, Nov. 20, 1854.
" We believe the book to be on the whole as perfect as human
labour and human ingenuity can wake it."—Olobe, Nov. 8. 1851.
The wonder of the publishing world."—Shipping and Mercan-
tile Gazette, Nov. 10, 1854.
"Like the Loudon the ' Post-office Directory' exhibited more
than halt • century ago, it has grown out of knowledge."—
Speetator, Nov.ll, 1854.
' Looking at the two volumes, critically, and apart from con-
sideration of their cost, the 'Post-office Directory ' appears to us
beyond question the best."—Examiner, Nov. 11, 1854.
The information is, on the whole, not only most correctly
given, but most conveniently arranged."—The Press, N vv. 25, 1864.
"We have looked over several names, where very recent
changes have made us doubtful that they might have been re-
gistered, but have found them all faithfully noted."—Court
Journal, Nov. 11, 1854.
" A more stupendous and accurate work of the kind than
could be compiled in any other city of the world."—Church and
State Gazette, Nov. 10, 1854.
" The best Directory."—Leader, Nov, 11, 1854.
"We might mention many similar marks of attention to the
everchanging events of ' the Great Babylon'; but these few will
suffice to show how differently the ' Post-office Directory'
to
managed to that of a rival, which makes the largest pretensions
to accuracy and yet reiterates the same unpardonable blunders
year after year."—Belfs Weekly Messenger. Nov. 11,1854.
" Nicholas might face the Lancaster cannon, but he would
turn pale-and-tail at the sight of the' Post-office Directory."'—
Atlas, Nov. 4, 1664.

in bulk has been the constant situ of the proprietor, and the
past sale of his work proves that lie has attained this greet
object."—lllustrated London News, Nov. 18, 1854.
" Truly we may class the' Directory' among mixleni writers."
—Weekly Dispatch, Nov. 5, 1864.
" The character of almost official accuracy for which the work
has always been distinguished, and which, of course, constitutes
the great desideratum of a Directory, has not been merely main-
tained but increased."—Era, Nov. 12, 1854.
" Fully worthy of its unrivalled reputation as a metropolitan
Directory."—Sunday Times, Nov. 5, 1654.
"Complete as it appeared to be, the inventive power of the
proprietor has yet devised some further improvements upon the
publication of last year."—John Bull, Nov. 4, 1854.
" The work has become not a mere convenience, but a down-
right necessity."—Field, Nov. 11, 1854.
" The accuracy with which it has carried out the idea rats all
competing Directories titan immeasurable distance. .—Britanniu ,
Nov. 11, 1854.
" For utility and information, as a class work, it is unrivalled:'
—Mining Journal, Nov. 4, 1861.
" Improved at every point where improvement is possible."—
Herapath's ,f *unto!, Nov. 4, 1854.
" It is truly one of the wonders of the age, and reflects the
highest credit on the ability, industry, and punctuality of its con-
ductors,"—WeekLy Times, Nov. 5, 1854.

WATKINS'S DIRECTORY. BLUNDERS.
Gratis, or forwarded per post on receipt of one penny
stamp, a Review, in eight pages imperial octavo, showing a large
number of absurd and ludicrous blunders, which have appeared
In every edition of Watkins's Directory, as follows:
1. In the edition for 1852, published in December, 1851.
2. The same blunders reprinted into the edition for 1853.
9. The identical blunders again reprinted in edition for 1854.
4. The same once more reprinted into March edition for 1854.
5, And finally, the same again reprinted into the edition for
next year.
In the " Review" we predicted that no full and precise expla-
nation would be attempted, and the result has proved tile
accuracy of the prediction: instead of an open add direct answer
in print, the projector has forwarded written statements to
viduals complaining of our " incessant" attacks upon his book,
but omittin to state that the staple of each of theee consists of
an exposure of stale, old reprinted blunders, each time a different
catalogue from that apparently inexhaustible blunder-aline—
Watkins's Directory.
The Subscribers to the book are respectfully requested to
peruse our lust Review, and then to require a full and precise
published explanation of blundering, such as we believe never r
have been paralleled in any book purporting to be a" Directory.
