LONDON DIRECTORY for
1854. The work is printed in entirely new type from the
Ca4loll and Glasgow Letter Foundry, and- has been so greatly ex-
tended, that the "Street Directory" contains 130,842 distinct names
or firms; these will be found correctly classified in all the other
principal divisions, Commercial, Trades, Law, and Court, all of which
areincreased in proportion to the great extension of the " Street
Directory."

lishine; world, a monument of private enterprise and ingenious labour
wholly without parallel."—Morniug Herald, Nov. 4, 1853.
" Battersea, Bow, Brixton, Bromley (Middlesex), Camberwell,
Cambridge Heath, Clapham-road, Dalston, Deptford, Hackney, Hol-
loway-road, Kentish-town, Kingsland, New-cross, South Lambeth,
itratford, Wandsworth-road, &c., &c., are essentially parts of the
great metropolis,' and, as such, should obviously be included in any
Directory of London. . . . In the Post-office Directory,' there-
fore, the inhabitants of these places appear in all the alphabetical
lists, so that the residence and calling of any one can be instantly
traced in whatever part of the suburbs he may be lodged. This
renders the work one of the most useful that can be possibly ima-
gined for any purpose of metropolitan life." —Observer, Nov. 13, 1853'
