POST OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY
FOR 1854.
The March publicgtion has hitherto consisted of the same sheets
as in the Christmas edition ; but this year every copy of the work
has been disposed of, notwithstanding that the edition was the largest
ever produced: it has therefore been necessary entirely to reprint
the volume.

_ .
Advantage has been taken of the sheets passing through the press
to introduce emendations in all parts of the book ; besides which the
divisions ent tied respectively "Official Directory," " costal Direc•
tory," and " Parliamentary Directory," have been entirely recom-
piled and corrected to the time of publication.
The March Edition has an External Index which distinctly de-
fines the commencement and conclusion o each division. and in so
doing is unique ; and this is accomplished without notches cut into
the book. _ _ _

" The peculiar recommendation of this plan is that it shows, not
merely the commencement of each division, hut the exact space oc-
crmie t by it, and thus enables the person referring to calculate within
a leaf or two where to open the book for any name."—Weekly Dis-
patch, November 5, 1853.
" Another novel arrangement has been adopted, which, without
disfiguring the pages, dyes great facilities of reference."—Mining
