ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, Nov. 28, 1846,

' Thjs huge volume, the ,forty-eighth edition of the work, well sas-
taiits the reputation enjoyed by the " Directory" of late years. In
the preface the proprietor maintains that the high, character of the
work is n referable to its mem connexion with the Post-office ;
for an important chanze has been gradually introduced into the man-
lier of collecting the information ; and a larger portion of the work
than h.iretofore has been confided to selected agents entirely uncon-
nected with the Post-office, this being, in great part, the plan of
compiling the editions for 1845 and 184 G. Nor hog the proprietor
• rested comtiatt with his past success, but has introduced many impor-
tant alterations in this volume for 1847, and added to its bulk with-
out a:y increase of price. Ihe Postal Directory' is especially im-
, proved, and there are n'. nerotts changes throuV.oot the volume, to
insure its completeness. The compilation must be a vast labour, to
, be accomplished only by systematic subdivision and the moat pains-
taking minateness. The appearance of the volume has suggested a
very lively effusion, to be seen in another column ; and we trust the
enterprising proprietor of the "Directory" will find that his labours
are duly appreciated and remunerated. To a great
.commercial
country this is an indispensable Tontine.
RAIL a'AY 11Elt s LD, Nov. 21, 1846.
The new volume et' the Post-oeice Directory fbr 1847 is already
in our hands, and we can only express our wonder that a work se
laborious, extensive, and minute, could be in any degree improved.
It would have been a sufficient merit to have maintained its former
reputation ; it is a great merit to have surpassed itself. The pro-
duction et a work unequalled for accuracy and for clearness has
placed in the hands of the commercial public a most valuable and
indispensable aid in carrying an the business of this vast metropolis,
which would indeed he subjected to the greatest inconvenience and
expense if it were not for a work of this kind. In a short time our
readers will base an opportunity of judging for themselves on pur-
chasing the new volume, whether our anticipatory notice is is any
degree exaggerated.
lIERAPATEPS RAILWAY JOURNAL, Nov. 21, 1846.
The Post-office Directory for 1847 appears with additions and
improvements neon its valuable predecessor, but with no enlarge
uncut in the price. The continued enterprising spirit with which
thia important, and it is not a misapplication of terms to say,
national work is conducted, merits the highest commendation. We
know net 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 possession of Government. But
should it be attempted, surely the following statement of its con-
ductors will go home to the consciences, if they have any, of the
parties seeking to draw down the grasping interference of Govern-
ment. "It can only be necessary to refer to a copy of the work pub-
lished 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 cha-
racter. That the improvements (the result of many years of un-
wearied toil and application on the part of those engaged in the com-
pilationot the work) are duly appreciated. is now happily beyond all
question; prior to the ' Directory' passing to its present proprietor,
rival books contended sitc.:eitsfally iYi",n this. They have ppeared."
