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 isituvry-EIGHT THOUSAND more than have ever appeared in
the corresponding division of any other book. Its distinguishing
feature is, that in it all the streets, squares, crescents, &c., rycoafl
the metropolis and its suburbs appear in one general alpha
et
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 class
sir which
they are appropriate, each in its proper alphabetcal pia.' ion ;
the members of any profession or trade, whether in theai metropolis
or its suburbs, are (in the" Trades" division) arranged phabetically
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 prsofessioned 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.

WATKINS'S DIRECTORY.-BLUNDERS.
Gratis, or forwarded per post on receipt of one penny
stamp, a Review, in eight pages imperial octavo, showing a large
number of absurd and ludicrous blunders, which have appeared in
every edition of Watkins's Directory, as follows :-
1. In the edition for 1652, published in December, 1851.
2. The same blenders REPZINTED into the edititn for 1853.
3. The identical blunders again reprinted in the edition for 1854

4. The same occe more reprinted into March edition for 1854.
5. And finally, the same again reprinted into the edition for NEXT
TEAR
In the "Review" we predicted that no full and precise explanation
would be attempted, and the result has proved the accuracy of the
prediction : in+tead of an open and direct answer in print, the pro-
jector has forwarded written statements to individuals complaining
of our " incessant" Attacks upon his book, but omitting to state that'
the staple of each of these consists of an exposere of stale, old re-
printed blunders, each Ulna a different catalogue from that appa-
rently inexhaustible blunder-mine —Watkins's Directo y.
The Subscribers to the book are respectfully requested to peruse
our last Review, and then to require a full and precise published ex-
planation of blundering, such as we believe never to have been
paralleled in any book purporting to be a " Directory."
