JOHN BULL, OCTOBEX 25, 1851.
The accelerated sale of the last edition of this stupendous reper-
tory of London statistics, occasioned by the Great Exhibition, has
induced the enterprising publishers somewhat to anticipate the usual
period of annual republication. In doing this, great pains have
been taken to bring down the alterations to the very latest date, as
is attested by the fact that the result of the recent election for the
East Riding, and the succession to the Earldom of Stafford, both
having occurred within the present month are duly registered. The
Map, likewise, keeps pace in its enlargements with the additions
which are being made in every direction to the houserooms of the
metropolis. Of the abstract merits of Messrs. Kelly's publication it
is unnecessary for us to speak; we can only reiterate the opinion
which we have before expressed—that the volume is one of the most
comprehensive, most complete, and well digested, and, for its size,
one of the cheapest manuals of reference ever offered to the public.

ATLAS, Ocroaxa 18, 1851.
The " fifty-third edition" of a work would scarcely appear to re-
quire a critical notice, and yet this fifty-third edition of the " Post
Office Directory," is so essentially a new book, that it is impossible
to allow its publication te pass over without bestowing on it a larger
share of a tentlon than any mere new edition of an established
work could possibly demand. Like the great metropolis, this Direc-
tory has, year by year, increased in value and importance ; year by
year the number of individuals it enumerates, classifies, and de-
scribes, has become larger and the book more bulky ; in the same
proportion the care and labour necessary for its careful production
have increased; and yet every year has seen it in some degree
better than its predecessor, ant more valuable to the public. It is
no slight praise to say that the present edition of the " Post Office
Directory" is an improvement on the last. The competition with
which Mr. Kelly is threatened, appears to have determined him te
produce a volume which shall defy all rivalry, and it will be a diffi-
cult task fur a publisher to bring out a work which can in any way
compare with it for accuracy, classification, and price. There
appears to be nothing wanting in this Directory to render it com-
plete of its kind. During the number of years we have used it for
reference, we have never met with an error in it of any magnitude,
or one which affected its great usefulness, and if it is continued with
the same skill which has marked its editorship while it has been in
the hands of Mr. Kelly, we think he may safely trust to its well-
known excellence to protect him against the consequences of any
competition.

MINING JOURNAL, OCTOBEI 25, 1851.
Tae fifty-third annual edition of this useful work has just appeared,
and judging from its contents, is by no means inferior to its prede-
cessors, and fully sustains the reputation it has so well earned, as
being rnrrert a' to tut, names and addremaeg pt tisa f -
veral trades and professions in this 'rust metropolis. As a work' bf
reference, it is decidedly most useful and necessary to the man of
business. No banking or merchants' office should be without it. A
smaller edition has likewise been published, which, though not so
comprehensive as the larger, contains an immense mass of useful in-
formation ; and both the works are eminently entitled to the name
of " handbooks to the commerce of the first commercial city in the
world."

LITERARY GAZETTE, OCTOBER 18, 1851.
One of the first symptoms of the decling year is presented In the
publication of the fifty-third edition of tha " Post Office London Di-
rectory." Mr. Kelly is the first in the field, with his very neat and
ponderous volume, comprising
upwards of two thousand very
closely-printed pages ; and his machinery is so well organised, that
he Is enabled, with astonishing runty, to correct every department
of it to within a few days of its publication.' What a model for Mr.
Panizzl, for the publication of a printed catalogue of the books in
the British Museum, is the construction of this eminently useful
volume."

BRITANNIA, OcTopaz 18, 1851.
LONDON AS IT IS.
London Is a wide labyrinth, in which those who are uninitiated in
its topographical intricacies must, without the aid of guide or clue,
become hopelessly bewildered. Every years adds thousands and tens
of thousands to the enormous amount of its population. Squares,
streets, and terraces, which would elsewhere constitute flourishing
cities, are periodically annexed to its already unequally
extent of
buildings, and it is impossible to calculate the breadth of area which
its encroaching Wings threaten eventually to overshadow with their
vastness. If its ratio of increase in respect of extent, during the
ensuing century, shall equal what it was in the last, the surface of
the county in which it stands will be toe circumscribed to contain its
limits. Its inhabitants, who in the reign of Queen Anne numbered
only three hundred thousand, have increased by the last census to
nearly two millions and a half—a population equal to that of the
whole of Scotland ; and when we reflect that these teeming num-
bers are ail domiciled, clothed, and fed, in this human hive, the
sumptuary arrangements necessary for the purpose seem almost in-
comprehensible to the human mind. Yet such is the extraordinary
elasticity of our external and internal resources, that the supply
has always kept pace with the demand, and the daily wants of the
two mil ions and a half of human beings who are sheltered and fed
in our capital, are supplied with an ease and a regularity unknown
In the days ashen London contained but a tenth part of its present
Population. A survey of the number of the "Post Office London
Directory" for the year 1852, which has just been publishe 1, will
give some notion of the difficulty which the numeroas foreigners
and strangers in London, Who have lately been sojourning amongst
us, would have experienced in tracing amongst these thousands o
streets, and almost countless thousands of inhabitants, the desig-
nation and abodes of their friends and entertainers, but for the
timely aid of some such accurate and comprehensive record. The
mind can scarcely realise to itself a position of greater perplexity
and difficulty, than that of a stranger to our land and our language,
launched for the first time, without guinance of any kind, in the
bewildering mazes of our metropolitan streets. Our English no-
menclature sounds so strangely to continental ears, that, without an
laterpreter, an Italian, or a Spaniard, in confabulation with a cab-
man or omnibus conductor, would have as much chance of mutual
intelligence, as with the denizen of another planet. To such, then,
the study of a faithful record of all that mighty London, in its
multitudinous' divisions and snhdlvisions, contains, will be of incal-
culable advantage. That which seems, when viewed en masse, to be
of a complexity utterly inextricable, through the ingenious arrange-
mentsofourcourt: Guides and London Directories, among which
Kelly's is the oldest and the best, has been made easy of comprehen-
sion to all who can read the Roman character. The foreigner, with
this Directory in his hand, while he contemplates with wonder both
the size of the volume and the amount of information it contains,
will admire the judicious mode of compilation, by the assistance of
to single out all that is most worthy of his observation, and
which he is enabled to thread his way through the labyrinth of
a comprehensive notion of the statistics, wealth, power, and
'of the first city
of the world.

RTOBilt 18, 1851.
That gigantic voIume,SPECTATO " Th ,eOC
Post Office Directory." maintains
its character as a fitting representative of the largest city in the
world ' • excelling all books in bulk, as London excels in towns. And
as the Metropolis contains various other districts besides the City,
so does the Directory contain many directories, yet all an-
swering some specific purpose. There is the " Official Directory"—
and, by-the-bye, it is curious to see how often the same name oc-
curs together, as if public employment were too good a thing to let
out of the family. There is ti.e "Street Directory," where we may
find the man if we know his residence, but have forgotten his name .
the " Commercial Directory," where we may And the name if the
residence has escaped us ' • then there are the " Trades'," " Law,"
and " Banking" Directories, where it is possible to hunt up a man
if we know his vocation, but cannot, without assistance, recall
either his name or address. There are also other directing classi-
fications—as Court, Parliamentary, Conveyance, Ito,stal ; forming an unparalleled work, which, however, has been three-and-fifty
years growing to its present size. The present volume appears
early; the demand,
Owing to the influx of strangers, consequent
upon the Great Exhibition, having exhausted- the current edition

exertions, tis stated, have been made to„bring down the changes

upon the death of Lord.Llverpool may be instanced. '
ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, OCTOBES 25, 1851.
The Great Exhibition has had its effect upon the sale of this
leviathan Directory, and has helped to exhaust the year's edition
sooner than usual. We are not surprised at this, seeing that-the
London season has been one unbroken round of visits; -and an un-
precedently large number of persons has flocked to the metropolis,
the majority requiring the class of information so well conveyed in
the " Post Office London Directory." Accordingly, the volume for
the coming year has been produced thus early; it maintains the
high character of the series fbr accuracy,, appropriate classification,
and ready reference. The corrections of. tke Peerage, and other
lists, have been made to the latest possible period; and altogether,
the work is recommended, as heretofore,, by its .completeness in
every department, attainable only *the proprietor's long course of
experience and popularity. , ;
lIERAPATH'S RAILWAY JOURNAL, OCTOBEA 18, 1851.
The way in which Messrs. Kelly produce their " Post Office
Directory" renders competition useless. Such a work contains no
matter of opinion, and advocates no particular interest. If the
Messrs. Kelly do their duty well] and spiritedly, what more can be
desired? We only want a Directory that is as full, as accurate, and
as complete, up to the time, as possible. Now, as far as our know-
ledge of the Directory extends—and from our making frequent use
of it we know a good deal about it—we think the work is admir-
ably kept up. In the present edition is found the very latest infor-
mation, and the whole of the work bears evidence that the greatest
degree of attention is paid to its proper production. For some time
past the " Post Office Directory" has had no competitor. During
this time it has been a better work than it ever was before. The
absence of competition, producing increased gains, seems to have
enabled the work to reach its maximum merit. The present edition
makes an earlier appearance than usual, which, we believe, is due to
the Great Exhibition having created " a run" upon the Directory.
BELL'S WEEKLY CHRONICLE, Octonsit 25, 1851.
We have, on more than one occasion, expressed our opinion of
the merits of this voluminous and astonishing work, the fifty-third
annual impression of which is now before us. By most of our
mercantile and trading readers, the work is known to be too useful,
and is also too highly prized, to render a word of commendation
from us necessary ; but, as it is possible that some parties engaged in
business may not hitherto have possessed the volume, we can only
say, that to understand its value they must examine the work for
themselves—a work which is alike remarkable for the vast mass of
information which it contains, and for the admirable manner in
which that information is arranged.
