POST-OFFICE DIRECTORY.
FALSE HOODS.—A handbill, produced avowedly to injure the
Post-office London Directory,' signed F. W. Watkins,' and re-
plete with misrepresentation, is now in course of distribution in Lon-
don. This handbill charges nineteen omissions and fourteen other
errors—in all thirty-three actual mistakes in a work containing up-
wards of ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN THOUSAND distinct
names or firms. In the handbill F. W. Watkins' charges the ' Post-
office London Directory for 1853,' with having improperly omitted,
in Cannon-street. City, the names of various persons or firms, which,
in truth (although inserted as at Cannon-street in Watkin's Directory
for 1853), are not to be found in Cannon-street at all. And by the
somewhat extraordinary process of multiplying the one thousand
five hundred and eighty-four columns of print in the Post office
Street Directory,' by these blenders in Watkins's Directory, Ise
arrives at the conclusion, and actually represents that there are thirty
thousand errors of omission' in the Post Office London Directory
for 1853: The following are extracts from F. W. Watkins's band-

Of this 'omission' the following Certificate will sufficiently ills-
pose :—" In a handbill now in course of circulation, and having Ilae
signature •F. W. Watkins,' it is alleged that the offices of the
British Colonial Sugar Company' are at 19, Cannon-street, City.
Sucb is not the fact. These offices remain, as stated in the • Post
Office London Directory for 1553,' at 10e, King's Arms-yard, Moor-
gate- street. The entry at page 70, of Watkins's Directory for 1853
—' British Colonial Sugar Company, R. Smith, sec., 19, Cannon-
street,' is therefore erroneous.

Another firm, charged as ' omitted' in the ' Post Office Directory,'
is thus stated in the handbill :-
64. Perkins and Sharpus, tin and japan manufacturers.'
How F. W. Watkins could blunder as to the locality of this emi-
nent firm is not easy to conjecture. But the following Certificate
will prove the accuracy of the Post Office Directory —" We have
seen a handbill signed' F. W. Watkins,' in which an attack is made
on the Post Office London Directory for 1853' for not having given
the address of our firm at 64 Cannon-street, City. It is not true that
our establishment is, or is intended to be, at 64 Cannon-street: it
remains, as stated in the 'Post Office Directory for 1853,' at 6, ell-
court
" The insertion of our firm in Watkins's Directory for 1853, at 64,
Cannon-street is, therefore, a blunder.
" (Signed) PERKINS & &WIPES.
" 6, Bell court, 9th Dec. 1852. '

nother well-known firm, charged to be omitted in the Post
Office Directory,' is thus stated in the handbill
23. Sterry, &terry & Co. wholesale oilmen and dry salters:
Thus disposed' of by the following Certificate :—" When the col-
lector for the Post Office Directory ' called here, we directed that we
should be described for the year 1853 at this address, where we still
carry OTI our business. STEM, STEM & CO.
" 143, Boro' High-street, 18 Dec. 1852."

Another name. charged by F. W. Watkins' as improperly omitted,
at 64, Cannon-street, in the Post Office Directory for 1853,' is thus
stated in his handbill :
Shindler, Robert, solicitor.'
This false charge is disposed of by the following Certificate :
" There Is no person of the name of Robert Shindler in practice as a
solicitor, or holding offices at all in this house.
" 64, Cannon-street, City, 9 Dec., 1852. (Signed) B. PERKINS."

In the belief that we have, for the present, sufficiently disposed of
F. W. Watkins's' calculation as to the 30,000 omission, we pass
to some others of his statements included in the THIRTY-THREE
names. It is within the knowledge of every one possessing any
experience in commercial affairs, that many firms or trades, after
the decease of the original proprietors, continue to be carried on in
the same names—as & C 0.," Child & Co.,' &c., &c., &c.
" Aston I, box and ivory rule maker, 25, Old Compton Street, dead
eight years; still this name appears in the Post Office London
Directory for 1853: "
Certificate thereupon :—" In a circular recently issued by F. W.
Watkins,' it is stated that the name of I. Ashton, 25, Old Compton-
street,' is an error. I hereby state that it was inserted by my
authority, the business being, like many others (such as Pickford &
Co.), carried on in. the original name.

cently issued by the proprietor of Watkins's Commercial Directory,'
that the name of N. Conne is inserted in error in the Post Office

It will doubtless be generally considered that we have herein dealt
sufficiently with thw mendacious handbill ; should F. W. Watkins
further circulate it in the teeth of the foregoing certificates,
we shall make a fex more thorough exposure of its sophistries and
falsehoods.

AN
ISDIR E CETI° :RYE SWEe havire forTabio°nt a monthlV past,rr observedl,3 ii
in several newspapers, prefixed or affixed to our announcements of
the " Post Office L randon Directory for 1863," an advertisement in
which it is al eyed -that " ' Watkins's General London Directory and
Court Guide for 1553' contains upwards of 127,000 names, being
27,000 more than yin be found in any other Directory of London
ever published." It is not the fact that " Watkins's Directory for
1853" contains 27,.000 more names than the "Post Office London
Directory for 185 3," or even so many names as that work. The
arrangement, termed in the Post Office " STREET DIRECTORY." and
In Watkins's " imam KEY." The " Street Directory" in the
Post Office Direci.ory contains 114,048 names or firms, while
Watkins's contains. but 113,410. In the other divisions of the work,
containing names distinct from those in the Street Directory, or
information of a • ttifferent character, the disproportion is more
marked. In the na atnes of Government Officers, for instance, the Post
Office has 7,000 r ames, while Watkins's has very much less than
3,000, and Watkh ts's contains no Alphabetcal List of, or Index to
these names, so I hat one name cannot be found without wading
through the entire . In the Postal division the disproportion is still
greater, while in Watkins's Directory this division is devoid of any
Index ; nor is the re any Index to the Street Key, or to the List of
Trades, or to the Legal Directory. We should not have made this
announcement but: for the misrepresentation that " Watkins's Direc-
tory for 1853" cont :tins 27,000 " more names than any other Direc-
tory of London ev ser published." ." Such a statement repeated so fre-
quently as it has b een in public alvertisements, might, if allowed to
pass uncentradiete 0, obtain some amount of credence.
