arrangement ; it is, therefore, the on:y work in which the occupant

the are appropriate, each in its proper alphabetical po-itlon; a'l
the members of any profe•sion or trade, whether Id the metropolis
or Its suburbs, are (in the •"Trades" division) arranged alphabeticall.
in one list. This being the only work in which they aro so, is the
only one in which ill the members of any trade can he ascertained.
The nobility, gentry, and professional perso-s resident in London
and its suburbs, are included in the one general" Court" alphabetical
ist, now so greatly extended that it inc udes upwards of Forty-lour
thousand names.

sive as to include all the lisilway Stations and Money Order Offices
