This work, published by Kelly and Co., which has now made its
annual appearance for forty-seven 3 cars, is decidedly one of the mos
oqorot works atlas day_ It. eout.:‘ins. An immense smoturt of infor-
mation orthe greatest importance to altin any way ~000,,..tcn-witt
the 'metropolis. It comprises among other information, an " Official
Directory," a " Sheet Directory," a " Commercial Directory," a
"Trades' Directory," n " Law Directory," a "Court Directory," a
" Parliamentary Directory," a "City Directory," a "Postal Direc-
tory," a "Conveyance'Directory," and a " Bank Directory." Under
these various diVisions Will be found masses of information, com-
bining the attributes of accuracy and completeness. The amount of
labour bestowed on the compilation of this work, must necessarily
have been very great, and nothing but a liberal pi tronage from the
public could remunerate the enterprising proprietors for their outlay
and labour. .The" Post-office London Directory" is singularly cheap,
considering the nature and quantity of the information it contains.
It extends to no resver than 2,000 large closely-printed pages, in
double and treble colnnins. All things considered, we look upon it
as the cheapest, as assuredly it is the most valuable and useful,
annual work which emanates from the press of England. The map
accompanying it appears to us to be much improved ; it is certainly
squally excellent and perfect.
WEEKLY DISPATCH, Dec. 28, 1845.
This colossal guide to the great metropolis is a striking illustration
of tha results of British perseverance properly directed, and British
capital judiciously employed. Fer many years the French " Al-
manack of Fifty Thousand Addresses" was considered one of thet
wonders of the world; but the Messrs. Kelly have achieved a work
l
which may be aptly termed a wonder upon wonders. Large i
though the volume be, the mass of information contained in it is t
traly surprising ; and every department is arranged with so much
care, judgment, and accurate discrimination, that the business of,
reference to its pages is as plain and simple as to a dictionary or'
lexicon, whose scheme is alphabetical. We have, in this volume,
"Official", " Street," " Commercial," " Trades" " Law," " Court,"
" Parliamentary," " Postal," " City," " Conveyance," and " Bank-
ing Directories." But these heads only comprise a portion of the
information contained in the work. There are other departments
which will be found invaluable to the commercial public. The fol-
lowing extract from the preface should be quoted :—" The advan-
tages possessed by the proprietor are of no ordinary character; the
most important being the means placed at his disposal through the
favour of. her Majesty's Postmaster-General. The General Post
letter-carriers, under the direction of his Lordship, collect, each in
his own district, the information from which the volume is compiled.
Te ensure accuracy in such a book, the collection of the information
should be simultaneous ; and how completely this is effected, is
proved by the fact that as intelligent letter-carrier performs within
twenty-four hours all the duties annually required of him for the
purposes of the Post Office London Directory." We need not
add any recommendation of this work ; its reputation is established
on a solid basis.

BRITANNIA, December 27, 1845.
This wonderful annual continues to keep pace with the times,
fast as they move. it now numbers upwards of 2,000 closely-
printed pages, this immense mass of matter being so judiciously
classified and arranged that any item of It can be picked out with-
out the loss of a minute expended in the search. From the con-
nexion of the Proprietor with the Post-office, he is enabled to
collect his information from the most authentic sources, and (a great
advantage) to combine it simultaneously. Some objection has been
made to the letter-carriers being employed for this service ; but,
independent of all other considerations, it is certain that the Post-
office must be greatly advantaged by the' publication, both film
letters being directed more accurately, with this book as a guide,
and from its always being at hand ready fer reference in cases of
doubt. The volume has all the merits of its predecessors ; displays,
like them, the utmost care in every department ; and as a work of
reference for the merchant, trader, or any person engaged in busb
ness in London, leaves nothing to be desired. It is one of the most
remarkable examples of great industry, intelligence, and capital
being successfully employed in the production of a work for facili-
tating the operations of business and extending trading intercourse,
that the age, fertile as it is in ingenious inventions, affords. Of its
kind, it is as near perfection as it seems possible for any work to be
brought.
