SUN, OcTomtit 17, 1851.
This is the fifty-third a aural publication of the " P.. st Office Lon-
don Directory ; and if untiring enterprise or unerring accuracy in the
collection of materials, or unequalled ingenuity in the classification
afterwards, so as to afford the greatest possible amount of informa-
tion in the smallest possible amount of space, be worthy of being con-
si tered a work of art and industry, then is the " Post Office London
Directory" a work of art and industry quite worthy of a foremost
place in the Great Exhibition, and then should the Messrs. Kelly
have awarded to them a mark of homirary distinction for the pro-
duction of this•unsurpassed and unsurpassable production. It is the
microcosm of the metropolis of the world ; no information concern-
ing London, its inhabitants, its topography, its public buildings, its
Institutions, its palaces. its docks, its trade, and its commerc;, can
b / possibility be required, which the " Post Office Directory" can-
not at once supply. To the commercial man it is invaluable, for
not only does tt supply the names and addresses of the heads of
firms, but the name of every junior partner in every firm is to be
found in the proper alphabetical position of his own name, and with
reference to the firm. The work is illustrated by an accurate Map
of London, corrected up to the present moment, and drawn upon a
scale of three inches to the mile ; in this Map the po•ition of everyone
of the new streets recently built in London or the suburbs, is accu-
rately laid down; and we find, on reference to the Map, that it shows
the positions of many streets which are scarcely yet completed. It is
classified, as usual, into as " Official Directory," a " Street
Directory," a " Commercial Directory," a " 'Trades' Direc-
tory," " Law Directory," a " Court Directory," a " Par
liamentary Directory," a " Postal Directory," a " city Direc-
tory," a " Conveyance Directory," and a " Banking Directory." It
furnishes also full, and accurate information regarding the various
assurance and other joint-stock_cooana.nies. and the latest hifwmta.,l
tton With retard to the recent postal arrangements. The Mari of
fashion will find in the " Court Director 7," that the same minute
accuracy has been observed, and the same untiring diligence exer-
cised, in procuring information relating to the fashionable world,
as has been exereised in compiling, arranging, and classifying
the commercial portion of this great encyclopaedia of the metro-
polis ;- whilst, to the politician, the " official" and the " Parlia-
mentary" Directories furnish all the information he can desire
on the subjects of which they treat. This information is brought
down to the latest moment. It was only on the 7th instant that
Lord Dunsandle was elected an Irish Representative Peer, to fill
up the vacancy occasioned by the death of the Earl of
Cliarieville, and, that the electors of the East Riding of
Yorkshire returned Captain Duncombe as their representative, in
the room of the late Mr. Broadley ; both these changes appear in
the present edition of the Directory ; and the present Lord Stafford,
who only succeeded to the title about a week since, appears as the
Peer, with Christian and i-urname at length. In the list of Peers
appears the full Christian and Surname of the present Earl of
Donoughmore, who only•succeeded to the title in the course of last
month; whilst, in the " Postal Directory," at page 1,761, the accele-
ration of the delivery of the papers by day mail appears, under the
head " Delivery of Letters in London;". the first day on which all
the malls arrived, so as to, admit of the complete carrying out of the
arrangement, being Saturday last, the 11th ult. The proprietor is
fully justified in his belief that this work has kept pace with the re-
quirements of the metropolis to which it is devoted, and he explains
in his preface how he has been able to accomplish this great
labour,' and to bring the work to its present high state of per-
fection. He says :—" Accuracy and appropriate classification, so
that everything which may reasonably be expected in such a book,
may not only be found, but found without difficulty, are indispen-
sable to perfection. These.advantages can, in any Directory, only
be attained gradually, and not completely, until the work enjoys
the entire circulation. While 1- rivals existed, patronage was
divided between books which were, or should have been, coun-
terparts of each other ; the public, therefore, had to pay more
than they need have done,, and, besides, to submit to inferior pro-
ductions ; the total receipts not being sufficient to sustain two
Directories of London, each as complete as the present. This is
quite certaia ; as, for. the many years during wirch this work has
enjoyed the entire -eireuldtion, its profits would have paid but a
small proportion of the expense necessary to the production of
another equally complete. A second Directory of London would be
about as prudent an undertaking as a second railroad to Brighton;
all the expenses' would have to be incurred a second time for the
same objects ; and it must be manifest, that if both paid their ex-
penses, the profits on two capitals, instead of one, must be paid by
the public. The present state of this work is a sufficient proof of
tne advantage to the public,-of their having to pay but for one
collection of the information —one compilation—one setting of the
type, &c. &c. This volume, to say nothing.iqf accuracy, classifica-
tion, and general arrangement, contains shunt double the quantity
of mere letter-press contained in the closing volume of Its latest
annual competitor, and is published at a lower price. There can,
therefore, be no question that the public, as well as the proprietor
of the 'Post Office London Directory, benefit by the circumstance
that the work has been so long without any competition. Firmly
established as this Directory is in public favour, it can only be ne-
cessary that an amount of diligence equal to that which has led to
so gratifying a result, be continued,' in order .to sustain it ; on this
the public may, with confidence, rely." Judging of the future by
the past, we confidently rely on the energy, the abilities, the talent,
and tha'reSources of Messrs. Kelly, and believe that for years to
come the " Post Office London Directory" will continue to enjoy
because it will deserve, toe undivided patronage of the public.

JOHN BULL, OcToexe 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 ustr
period of annual republication. In doing this, great pains ha e
been taken to bring down the alterations to the very latest date, as
is attested by the fact that the result Of the rechit 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, keecs pace in Its enlargements with the ftdditieie
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 moist
Comprehensive, most complete, and well digested, and, for Its gizo,
one of the cheapest manuals of reference ever offered to the public.'

MORNING ADVERTISER, OCTOBER 22, 1851.
The fifty-third annual impression of this wonderful and ever-
increasing book is before us. On the present occasion it is market(,
by a more early appearance than usual—a proof of increased dili-
gence in compiling the immense lists of names, trades, and profes-
sions, as well as a further enhancement of its value 'and accuracy.
For it must be evident, upon reflection, thatthe nearer in point of
time to the completion of information, so varied, evanescent, and
perpetually changing, the issue of the work containing it shall. be,
so will its faithfulness be increased. Death, bankruptcy, retirement,
sales, emigratiept 'mere removal, prevent the permanency of such
information, in the recency .f which lies its whole value. Now,
living ourselves in this:current of change, and of necessity observant
of many mutations, we have applied to the " Post Office Directory"
the severest of tests, by a reference to a few of the most recent fluc-
tuations in the world of London and of commerce. This It has stood
triumphantly. In this vast mats of matter (over 2;800 pages), In all
parts of the ponderous volume, ,Is the same actuality of present truth-
fulness. Official appointinerits and promotions, changes of firms,
removals, alterations of postal times, of mail routes and arrivals, of
steam-packets, the evictions and changes consequent upon street-
widenings, &c., &c., &c., are all noted, so as, in poetic phrase, to
" Fix the flying Cynthia of the minute ;"
or, rather, to render, so far as modern Babylon is concerned, " the
very age and body of the time, its form and pressure." Among the
notabilia of the world's metropolis, this record of its actual state is
one of the most useful and wondrous.

ATLAS, OCTOBER 18, 1851.
The fifty-third edition" of a work %mild scarcely appear to re-
quire a critical notice, and yet this flay-third edition of the " Post
Office Directory," is so essentially a new book, that it is impossible
to allow its publication to pass over without bestowing on it a larger
share of a tention 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-
scribei, 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 to
produce a volume which shall defy al rivalry, and it will be a diffi-
cult task for a publisher to bring out a work which can in any way
compare with it tor accuracy, classification, and price. There
appears to be nothing wanting in this Directory to render it coin.-
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 wit
the same skill which has marked its editorship while it has been
the hands of Mr. Kelly, we think ho may safely trust to its well-
known excellence to protect him against the consequences of any
Competition. .

DULY NEWS, OCTOBER 14, 1851.
The " Post Office Directory" for 1852' has been published; un-
usually early this year. The portly volume is now before us. The
proprietors thus explain their reasons for this earlier issue of their
volume :—" The Exhibition having occasioned a demand greeter
th-n usual, the edit on for the current year became exhausted; to
prevent the inconvenience of the work being ont of print, every
exertion has been made to produce the new edition at the earliest
period compatible with accuracy." That this has not been sacrificed
to speed, a scrutiny will amply show ; and in proof that the cor-
rections have been made to the latest possible period, they instance
the acceleration of papers by the day mail, • under the head of
"delivery of letters in London," at page 1761. The fist day on
which the mails arrived so as to admit of the complete carrying out
of the arrangement was on Saturday last, the 11th instant. The
insertion, too, in the "Parliamentary Directory" of the Christian
names of the present Lord Stafford, whose father's death was an-
nounced on the 6th instant, is ano her instance, among several which
might be adduced to show how closely the corre;ltion.s have been
made up to the moment of issue.

. . TIMES,; Oceans= 21, 1851.
. . . .
Far-Seeing Sages-have been busy prophesying all manner of results
from the Great Exhibition We have one before us —one which
none of them ever dreamed of. The Great Exhibition, amid the
other wonderful effects it produced, exhausted the " Post Office Di-
rectory" for 1851; and lest the whole commercial world of London
should be left without its guide and friend, the proprietors of that
valuable work have at this unusually early period issued their volume
for the year that is to come. Arm, d with this infallible weapon

London life into some 2,500,000 names, and how it depicts and takes
co pieces the minutest works or the vast machine that fills the valley
of the Thames. The book is one of our standing wonders. In
utility, excellence of typography, care, and trustworthiness, it can-
not be surpassed; and not the least remarkable feature about It is
the very recent ch antes recorded in its pages. For instance,
here in this volume of more than 2,000 p,ges, which was printed
on the 13th of October, we find inserted in the " Parliamentary
Directory," at pp. 1,733 and 1,749, the name of the Hon.
Captain A. Duncomlte, R.N , who was elected as Member for the
East Riding only six days previously—namely, on the 7th of
October ; and in page 40, in the list of the Privy Council Office, the
name of Lord Liverpool is struck out, though his death was not
recorded in the " Times" till tile 6th of October. To the commer-
cial world it would be quite as necessary to deliver a lecture on
the general benefits of sunshine, as to speak of the merits of the
~ Directory,' and to all Londoners who wart to know anything of
the world they live in it is inestimable. The present volume is dis-
tinguished by the same internal and external advantages as those
which have so long characterised its predecessors.
[The fact above adduced, that in the " Directory" the name of
Lord Liverpool, whose death had been recorded only on the 6th of
Octoher, was struck oat in page 40, in the list of Privy Council, is a'

MINING JOURNAL, OcToni 25, 1851.
T e 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 the only correct key to the names and addresses of the se-
veral trades and professions in this vast metropolis. As a work of
reference, it is decidedly most useful and necessary to the man of
business. No banking or merchants' office should be without it. 44;
smaller edition, I,as been published, whiols.itionaknat.44
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."

GLO3E. OCTOBER 18, 1851.

Amon; the many interests affected by the Great Exhibition Is ti,,:tt
of the "London Directory;" the demand for the edition of 1851
being so great, in consequence of the crowds congregating to the
metropolis, that it was deemed advisable to have an early publica-
tion of that for 1852. The comparatively early appearance of the
work will, however be found to have derogated little, if at all, from
its accuracy and excellence, as every change that has taken place
up to the last few days is carefully recorded in its pages. As in-
stances, we may state that the Hon. Arthur Duncombe is given as
the Idemberfor the East Riding of Yorkshire, for which county he
was elected as late as the 7th instant; and that the present Lords
Stafford and Bolingbroke are named as the possessors of their re-
spective titles, although they succeeded to them only within the cur-
rent month. In every respect the edition for 1852 is quite equal to
its predecessors. Indeed, when one considers the immense amount
of information in the work—the perfect accuracy which charac-
terises it —and the excellent classification adopted, by which any
piece of information required can be pounced on in a moment, the
" London Directory" seems little short of a marvellous work, and
one which could only have been put together by the most indefati-
gable perseverance and scrupulous care. It would have been indeed
worthy of a place in that noble collection of the monuments of the
industry and intelligence of the world, which we have but a day or
two since looked on for the last time.

LITERARY GAZETTE; OCTOBER 18, 1851.
One of the ilrst symptoms of the decling year is presented In the
publication of thb fifty-third edition of the "Post Office London Di-
rectory." Mr. Kelly is the lint 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 facilty, to correct every department
of it to within a few days of its publication. What a model for Mr.
Pan.zzi, for the publication of a p:inted catalogue of the books in
the British Museum, is the construction of this eminently useful
volume."

BRITANNIA, OCTOBER 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
No".
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 millons and a half of human beings who are sheltered and fed
are supplied with an ease and a regularity unknown
days when
l London contained but a tenth part of its present
plinnopotuhuler piation. A survey of the number of the "Post Office London
Directory" for the year 1852, which has just been publishe i, will
give some notion of the difficulty which the numerona foreigners
and strangers in London, who have lately been shjoarning amongst
us, would have experienced in trac'ng 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
'wand 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. Onr English no-
menclature sounds so strangely to continental ears, that, without an
interpreter, 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 snbdivisions, 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-
ments of our Court: 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 tht amount of information it contains,
will admire the judicious mode of compilation, by the assistance of
which he is enabled to thread his way through the labyrinth of
streets, to single out all that is most worthy of his observation, and
to form a comprehensive notion of the statistics, wealth, power, and
extent of the first city of the world.

STANDARD, OCTOBER 21, 1851.
The fifty-third annual publication of this extraordinary volume is
now before us. The projector of such an opus magnum must have
been a bold man, but no one can observe its singular completeness
without coming to the conclusion that it has been the work of many
years to bring to perfection such a guide-Look to the first city in the
worl 1. The labour and diligence which must have been bestowed
on Messrs. Kelly's book is quite inconceivable, and the proprietors
must be gratified that their efforts have been appreciated by the
r übl c. Every merchant's house, every place of business in London,
or even in the country, has its " Post Office London Directory."
The enormous circulation thus attained has enabled the proprietors
to offer it for sale at a price that no book less universally purchased
could be sold for. Upwards of two thousand closely-printed pages,
comprising the most extensive and miscellaneous information in one
volume, an i sold at the price at which it is offered, is a triumph of
skill and diligence of which the proprietors may well feel proud.
They who look further, may see, in _the-Success of the " London
Post Office Directory," the foreshadowing of results yet more
tin-
portant to the community even than the accurate knowledge of the
persons, occupations, and things, so skilfully set before us in this vo-
lume, of the busy metropolis. It is unnecessary to recommend the
" Directory ;" such a book is always itself its own best recom-
mendation.

SNIPPING AND MERCANTILE GAZETTE, OCTOBER 18, 1851.
The annual volume of this stupendous work appears with pre-
scrip,ive punctuality. The plan originally laid down is carried out
with increased completeness in the publication for 1852, which, like
its predecessors, is.a signal monument of method, enterprise, and per-
severance. It is not possible that any work devoted to 'London and
its statistics can furnish so clear and definite a record of the per-
sonal and commercial contents of the metropolis as this mammoth
book, the swelling bulk of which denotes that it keeps pace with the
increase of population and the several developments of industry.
No one can turn over its pages without being struck with the im-
mensity of labour which its compilation must have entailed upon
those engaged in it. Every lice is the record of a specific fact—a
fact in every case liable to change, and, consequently, involving
periodical justification throughout. The machinery devised by the
Messrs. Kelly for securing this annual revision is now as perfect
as it is possible to make it; and the corrections are brought down to
the latest date. The separate Directories embrace the usual fields
o tinfoil:nation. Trades and tradesmen, professionals and officials,
streets and conveyances, banking-houses and post offices, are here
regulate .1 to their particular heads, and, besides the mere catalogue
of names, enriched with every sort of collateral information which
the exigencies of business or curiosity may require. Our former
commendations may be repeated now. The accuracy aimed at by
the editors half a century ago has been severely tested since the
book has been in existence ; and it not only repels accusation on
this score, but challenges fresh panegyric as every succeeding
volume emerges from the press. The counting-house of the merchant
and the trader could now as ill spare the almanack as the "Post
Office Directory."

MORNING CHRONICLE, OCTOBER 15, 1851.
In an age prolific of books this is the most extraordinary, and we
feel almost compelled to say, the most useful of all. It is a miracle
of human industry—a miracle of human skill—a proof of the tri-
umphs resulting from an ultimate combination of the temporary di-
vision of labour— an argument for the superiority of London over
every cty in the world—and an example to all publishers, catalogue
makers, and book compilers whatsoever. This is the fifty-third an-
nual publication; it enjoys all the advantages of its proprietors'
fifty-two years of experience. The classification, once complex
almost to Bradshawism, is now so admirably managed, that every
information such a work may be expected to afford can here be
found, and found without difficulty, by persons to whom the search
is a novelty, and the volume unknown. The stranger may here be
guided, and the Londoner, at each year's end, refresh his in-
formation as to the whereabouts of his old friends. The statist,
too, suddenly called upon for his figures, may joyfully find refuge
by ready access to his Directory, where he will learn how
many churches and how many achools, how mny clergy and how
many lawyers, how many bakers and how may butchers, are re-
quired in this mighty metropolis to satisfy the spiritual, intellectual,
and physical wants of its two million and a half of inhabitants.

or disappearance of some public-house ; he may compare 1851 with

to individuals unconnected with trade, reflects great credit upon the
proprietor for his industry and untiring perseverance, and is an ho-
nour to the country in which it appears. The whole is printed in a,
clear, distinct type, and on excel:ent paper, and the " getting up '
altogether is unexceptionable. While such care and zeal continue
to be exerd, to render the boot in its several departments com-
plete, and make it really and truly a hand-book of commerce, it
need not fear any rival.

matters which do not
come to light all at once, but the fact of his Lordship's separation
from the rest of the Cabinet is much regretted by many. We are
naturally sorry to part from old servants, and there are some ser-
vices which cement parties together stronger the older they
be-
come. Of this kind of service is that rendered by E. MOSES and
SON, who have for many years caused a reduction in the expendi-
ture for dress of more than one-half, and the longer we are used to
this the less we could do without it. In the year 1851 not leas than
half a million of money was saved to the public by E. MOSES and
SON, and although it can be clearly shown that every article reaches
the public at half-price, they challenge the whole world to a com-
parison of quality. They, by means of a large capital, and a staff
of workmen and designers perfectly unequalled,
have surpassed
everybody in quality, and intend to keep the lead by a system which
the puhl c fully appreciates.

EXAMINER, OCTOBER 18, 1851.
Mr. Kelly's giant Directory takes the field a month earlier than
usual this year. This is accounted for by the fact of the great de-
mand for last year's impression consequent on the crowds at the
Great Exhib tion ; and certainly our visitors could not do better
than resort to Mr. Kelly's compilation for a proper impression of the
magnitude and wonders of the city they were visiting. We possess
no other record of them to compare with it. Two thousand closely-
printed pages of streets, trades, professions, and persons, express
better than the most eloquent phrases what a mighty mass of human
beings are now congregated in the spot called London, and what in-
finitely vast varieties of human existence and interests have come
to be comprised within that name. Often we have had occasion to
say, and may now repeat, that this book of Mr. Kelly's is not one,
but a dozen Directories. Its clear and succinct arrangement adapts
it to the use of every class that may be supposed likely to have need
of such information. There is a Street Key," of nearly 500 pages,
containing the names of mere than a hundred thousand people.
l here is an Alphabetical Directory, containing in the same
number of pages nearly the same number of names.
There is a classification of more than two thousand trades.
There is a Court Guide to some 25,000 of what are called the
gtidentler, classes. There is a Law Guide; a Parliamentary
; a Ciuide to all the Public Offices; a Directory of rost-
whaatievne
aTnournens and Postages all over the world; a list of all the chief hotels

various matter so unexampled in balk and extent depends obviously
upon arrangement, and facility and completeness of reference, for
its practical worth and. valve in a readily available sense, The
book before us seems quite a model of such arrangement. It con-
tains nothing that may not at once be found—not a street, trade,
profession, or person, which the easiest search does not bring into
view, and, as far as we have been able to judge, with unerring ac-
curacy.it eb-fore Though it is hardly the middle of October when we have
now us complete, we yet find proofs of a scrupulous cor-
rectness of revision that must have dated so recently as the close of;

MORNING HERALD, OCTOBER 17, 1851.
The punctuality with which this huge record makes its appearance
at "the doge of the' year is . not one of its least recommendations.
Certainly, it is proof that the diligence :and energy which have
always characterised its production experiences no ab dement,
notwithstanding the perpetual extension of the field of labour, and
the vast increase of those details which an insidiously-growing
population must necessarily generate. We have often before been
called upon to compliment the enterprise of the proprietors, and we
have little to add upon the present occasion. Every one who has
been in the habit of turning to the " Post Office Directory," is aware
of its faultless accuracy; and to praise it on this score is superfluous.
The changes to which such a multitude of localities are exposed by
the accidents of life, are duly provided for; and we can but marvel
•t the excellence and completeness of the machinery by which the
•mil's surface of London is annually explored, and every sinning
