lIERAPATII'S RAILWAY JOURNAL, Nov. 21, 184 G.

The " Post-office Directory" for 1847 appears with additions and
improvements upon its valuable predecessor, but with no enlarge-
ment in the price. The continued enterprising spirit with 'a hich this
important, and it is not a misapplication of terms to ,ay, national
work is conducted, merits the highest commendation, We know not
whether the same illiberal and unjustifiable attempt will be made in
the ensuing session as was done in the last, to wrest it from the
hands of the present proprietary, and to place it by the force of might
over right in the hands of Government ; but, should it be attempted,
surely the following statement of its conductors will go home to the
consciences, if they have any, of the parties seeking to draw down
the grasping interference of Government :—" It can only be neces-
sary to refer to a copy of the work published before the purchase of
the copyright by its present proprietor, to be convinced that the mere
connexion of the Directory' with the Post-office has little, if at all,
contributed to its present high character. That the improvements
(the result of many years of unwearied toil and application on the
part of those engaged in the compilation of the work) are duly appre-
ciated is now happily beyond all question ; prior to the ' Directory'
passing to its present proprietor, rival books contended successfully
with this—they have disappeared."
