Tax Enunis or BOSSIIIIT.—By the orders of the
Bishop of Meaux, the leaden coffin, recently discovered,
containing the mortal remains of Bossuet, was opened
on the 14th inst. The head was found covered with four
folds of linen, which was cut away with a pair of scis-
sors, and the features were then seen. They were much
less changed than might have been expected, consider-
ing that the body has been buried a century and a half.
The head was leaning a little to the right, like to that
of a person asleep, and the left part of the face was in
particular exceedingly well preserved, and at once re-
minded the lookers-on of Rigaud's portrait of the de-
ceased. The mouth was open, the eyes shut, the nose
somewhat fallen in, the hair white, and the moustaches
and imperial viable. The skull had been sawed across
so as to allow the brain to be taken away, in order to let
aromatic substances be placed in its stead. An artist,
who was present, took a sketch of the face as it ap-
peared when tha coffin was opened. When it was known
that the features of the deceased could be seen a great
number of persons hastened to the cathedral. Sevheerata
ecclesiastics also arrived from Paris, and amody

22d November, 1854,

Now publishing, in 2,620 Imperial Octavo pages, the
POST OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY
FOB 1855. The work has been so greatly extended, that the
division entitled " Street Directory" contains 152,416 names, being
about THIaTT-EIGST Tuoirsamo more than have ever appeared in
the corresponding division of 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 profe,sion or trade, whether in the metropolis
er its suburbs, are (in the" Trades" division) arranged aiphabetieally
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 ine.udes upwards of Forty-tour
thousand names.
An azeurately compiled " Conveyance Directory," so comprehen-
sive as to include all the Railway Stations and Money Order Offices
in Great Britain, 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
Ragland and Wales—Periodical Publications, with their Publishers
—not any part of which is to be found in any other London Direc-
tory, It, besides, has (exclusively) that most important adjunct,
an INDEX TO STaEsTs, PLACES, CHAX3EIS, WILUIPS, &C" &4.,
with full Money Order information.
"The copiou,sness and accuracy of the Post Office London Direc-
tory' are wonderful."—Morning Chronicle, 3d Nov., 1854.
.. Its reputation for accuracy and completeness defies the least
whisper of suspicion or reproach."—Morning Herald, 6th Nov., 1554.
" After carefully examining the book in its several subdivisions,
we feel bound to acknowledge its very great accuracy."—Morning
Advertiser, Nov. 7th, 1854.
"The number for the ensuing year, however, far excels all that
have gone before it 7th Nov., 1854.
" A prodigy of labour, care, and arduous circumspectionl of the
huge metropolis of the world."—Sun, 20th Nov.,
.• We believe the book to be, on the whole, as 85
perfect as human
labour and human ingenuity can make it."—Globe, Nov. 8, 1854.
Like the London the Post-office Directory' exhibited morethan
half a century ago, it has grown out of knowledge."—Spectator, 11th

"Looking at the two volumes critically, and apart from considera-
tion of their cost, the Post-office Directory' appears to us beyond
question the best."—Examiner, 11th Nov., 1854.
" We have looked ever several names, where very recent changes
have made us doubtful that they might have been registered, but
have found them all faithfully noted."—Court Journal, 11th Nov.,
1851.

"A more stupendous and accurate work of the kind than could
be compiled in any other city of the world."—Church and State
Gazette, 10th Nov., 1834.
"The best Directory."—Leader, 11th Nov. 1851.
" We might mention many similar marks of attention to the ever-
changinz events of ' the Great Babylon ;' but these few will suffice
to show how differently the ` Post•office Directory' is managed to
that of a rival, which makes the largest pretensions to accuracy, and
yet reiterates the same unpardonable blunders year after year."—
Bell's Weekly Messenger, llth Nov., 1851.
"Nicholas might face the Lancaster cannon, but he woall turn
pale-and-tail at the sight of the Post Office Directory.' "—Atlas,
4th Nov., 1854.
" To possess a Directory that shall increase in correctness as in
bulk, has been the constant aim of the proprietor, and the past sale
of his work proves that he has attained this great object."—lllus-
trated London News, 18th Nov., 1854.
" Truly we may class the Directory among modern wonders."—
Weekly Dispatch, sth Nov , 1854.
" The character of almost official accuracy for which the work
has always been distinguished, and which, of course, constitutes the
great desideratum of a Directory, has been net merely maintained,
but increased."—Era, 12th Nov. 1854.

" Fully worthy of its unrivalled reputation as a metropolitan
directory."—Sunday Times, sth Nov., 1854.
" Complete as It appeared to be, the inventive power of the pro-
prietor has yet devised some further improvements upon the publica-
tion of last year."—John Ball, 4th Nov., 1854.
"The work has become not a mere con►enience, but a down-
right necessity."—Field, Nov. 11th, 1854.
" The accuracy with which it has carried out the idea puts all
competing Directories at an immeasurable distance."—Britannia,
Nov. 11th, 1854.
" For utlity and information, as a class work, it is unrivalled."—
Mining Journal, 4th Nov., 1854.
" Improved at every point where improvement is possible."—
Berapath's Journal, 4th Nov., 1854.
" It is truly one of the wonders of the age, and reflects the highest
credit on the ability, industry, and punctuality of its conductors."—
Weekly Times, sth Nov., 1854.

-ViTATKINS'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 apdeared in
every edition of Watkins's Directory, as follows :-
1. In the edition for 1552, published in December, 1851.
2. The same blunders REPRINTED into the edition for 1353.

3. The identical blunders again reprintel in the edition for 1854

4. The same ()Lee more reprinted into March edition for 1.854.
5. And finally, the same again reprinted into the edition for NEXT
YEAR

In the "Review" we predicted that no full and precise explanation
would be attempted, and the result has proved the accuracy of the
prediction : instead 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, bat omitting to state that
the staple of each of these consists of an exposure of stale, old re-
printed blunders, each time a different catalogue from that appa-
rently inexhaustible blunder-mine—Watkins's Directory.
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."
