THE POST OFFICE LONDON DI-
RECTORY for 1841, comprisinl2, amongst other in-
formation :
A STREET DIRECTORY, being the first ever published
in the Metropolis. All others have omitted either the Nobi-
lity and Gentry, or the Merchants, Traders, and Tradespeople ;
the present work includes both, and is therefore really a " Street
Directory."

always giving full Christian names ; and in eases of females in-
variably stating whether " Mrs." or " Miss."
TRADES' DIRECTORY, in which every Trade, as well
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.
LAW DIRECTORY, the most accurate work on the sub-
ject extant. •
COURT DIRECTORY, furnishing the most recent Ad-
dress in Louden, and the Country Seat of each Peer and

rooms and coffee houses.

'phis volume is now one of the most complete manuals of
information on all things connected with the names, profes-
sions, 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-
quaintance, 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 Cornraereisl Di-
rectory, in which an immensity of zames 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 booki 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 examination 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 extraordirriry 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
every trade distinctly by itself—then separate lists of every per-
son previously named, but divided into a Commercial Directory,
and a Court Directory ; to all which are added, not only every-
thin 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 he desired, and ten times as much as can be expected
in a work of the kind."—John Bull, Jan. 9.
" Since our former notice of this publication, very consi-
derable additions and improvements have taken place. A
Street Guide, on a somewhat novel plan, has been added—the
houses running, as Usual, in the order of their numbers, and
the off-branching streets being noted; which furnishes the
seeker with a dieect guide to the localities of particular houses.

8. Metcalfe, J., seal and copper-plate engraver,

9. Andrews, William, and Co., helmet-makers.
The names of both gentlemen and traders arc also included in
the Street Guide. The information respecting the Govern-
ment Offices is maje fuller, as was. recommended ; the str..ff of
the c?tablislitnent being gi.v.m well as the chiefs. The same
rernark applies cu the 1'0)lie °filet., and the Law Directory.

The Work which is now.presented to the public is the result
of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec-
tions, which far some unaccountable reason have keen either
altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in-
diff'rence, by the of dinary practitioner. To enter into the
details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to
mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical,
which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits,
would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have
no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of
society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe-
ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA-
RENT, a PRECEPTOR, er a CLERGYMAN.
