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 of any other book. Its distinguishing
feature is, that in it all the streets, squares, crescents, Ice., &c., of

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
or its suburbs, are (in the" Trades" division) arranged alphabetically
in one list. This being the only work in which they aro so, is the
only ono 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.

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

large amount of miscellaneous information, as—House of Peers, in
their order of precedence—Provincial Inns, with their holders—
