BRITANNIA, December 27, 1845.

This wonderfld 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 from
letters being directed more accurately, with this book as a guide,
and from its always being at hand ready for 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 busi-
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.
JOHN BULL, January 10, 1846.
We have so often had to bear our testimony to the extraordinary
merits of this most laborious compilation, its fttlness and accuracy
of information, and its consequent value to every one who " lives,
and moves, and has his being" in London, that all we need now do
is to state that, excellent as were the preceding volumes, this one
has received various improvements, which add largely to that pre-
♦ious excellency. It is a work of immense care and labour, and of
corresponding utility.
RAILWAY HERALD, Jan. 1846.

The chief feettre of the " Post-office Directory" to men of business
is, that they cannot do without it—lt is indispensable, thumbed over,
referred to, day by day, and week by week—a counting-house, in
these times of letter-sending, could do almost as well without an ink-
stand as without a " Directory." We have made a great many trials
hi different parts of the work, exercising a careful scrutiny, and in no
instance has it suffered under the test.

RAILWAY EXPRESS, Jan. 1846.
It is scarcely possible for any work to be more correct than this,
or more carefully compiled in all its laborious detail. It would be
difficult to find a more comprehensive or more useful work than this
admirably arranged exhibition of this vast city. The typographical
execution is as complete as becomes the well-deserved popularity of
the volume. It is needless to say more than that the book is known
and consulted by every man of business in London.

"We regard the work before us, the ' Silent Fried,' as a work
embracing most clear and practical views of a series of complaint,
hitherto little understood, and passed over by a majority of the me-
dlcalProfession, for what reason we are at a loss to know. We mu. t
however confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable
impression on cur minds, that we net only recommend, but cordially
wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffering from baits
cretion, to profit by the advice contained to its pages."—Age and Argus.
