Just Published,

formation :
A STREET DIRECTORY, being the first ever published

lity and Gentry, or the Merchants, Traders, and Tradespeople ;

Directory."

always giving full Christian names ; and in cases of females in-
variably stating whether " Mrs." or " Miss."

as appearing; in its proper place, in the " Commercial Direc-
tory," is arranged distinctly, and the various subdivisions of
every one of the two thousand Trades are accurately defined by
suitable distinguishing marks.

ject extant.
COURT DIRECTORY, furnishing the most recent Ad-
dress in London, and the Country Seat of each Peer and

arrrangemeLts, including those for carrying into effect the sys-

Phis volume is now one of the most complete manuals of
information on all things connected with the names, proles-
shins, and habitations of the inhabitants of London ever pub-
lished. It is, indeed, a most valuable book of reference for all
persons, whether in trade or not, whose correspondence is ex-
tensive, and whose connections render it necessary either to
have a very good memory of the locations of their ac-
quaiutance, or to refer to a book which will at once in-
form
them where to find them, or address letters, &c., to
them. The Directory contains a Street Directory, in which
the streets are alphabetically arranged; a Commercial Di-
rectory, in which an immensity of names is alphabetically ar-
ranged, without respect to tradeS and professions, though the
trades and professions of the different persons are respectively
subjoined to the names ; a Trades' Directory, in which the
trades are alphabetically arranged, and under each head of
trade the names of the tradesmen set forth; a Law Directory.
Court Directory, Parliamentary and Banking Directories ; and,
in a word, SO great a mass of useful information set forth with
such good judgment. and arrangement, that it is almost impos-
sible for the most ignorant and inexpert not to find out, in one
part or other of the volume, that of which he is in search. The
book possesses what is in all books a desideratum, but in a book
of this kind, a sine qua non—that is, an arrangement which
occasions no confusion, and which is so simple that anybody can
comprehend it. It has been compiled with great labour, and
is, as far as our judgment and examinations of its pages go, ex-
tremely accurate, and remarkably free from errors."—The
Times, Jan. 25.
" Again come we to another work—great and magnificent
almost in size as Mr. Bohn's extraordinary catalogue (of which
more next week), the Post Office London Directory, contain-
ing the names of the inhabitants of all the streets in the me-
tropolis, according to their numbers, without regard to their
being nobility, gentry, or tradesmen—then separate lists of
everytrlatpreviouslyan

but
divided into a Commercial Directory,
I and a Court Directory ; to all which are added, not only every-
thing contained in the Court Kalendars, but a mass of inform-
ation connected with the Post-office, the despatch and receipt
of letters; rates of postage to every part of the world ; a list
of every conveyance leaving London, whether by sea, by rail-
road, by coach, by canal, or waggon ; and, in fact, everything
that can be desired, and ten tunes as much as can be expected
in a work of the kind."—John Bull, Jan. 9.
