POST OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY
FOR 1855. 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 corresponding division at any other book. Its distingu,shing
feature is, that in it all the streets, squares, crescents, &c., &c., of
the metropolis and its suburbs appear in one general alphabetical
arrangement; 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 London
and its suburbs, are included in the one general," Court" alphabetical
list, now so greatly extended that it Inc udes upwards of Forty-tour
thousand names.
Au accurately compiled ' Conveyance Directory,' so comprehen-
sive as to include all the Railway Stations and Money Order Offices
In Great Briiain, 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 Publications, with their Publishers
—not any part of which is to be found in any other London Direc-

with 11111 Money Order information.
