THEWIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE
EDWARD HOLLEST, of Fernley, Surrey.—Frimley, Bag-
shot, December 31,1850. —An earnest APPEAL to public benevolence
is respectfully submitted by a few friends and neighbours on behalf
of the WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE EDWARD HOLI,ES P,
who for a period of 13 years, in an exemplary manner, performed
the duties of his church, and was distinguished by his benevolence
and charity in the wide district under his charge. The act of
atrocity by which the Rev. Mr. Holiest was suddenly cut off is
universally known, but those only who arc acquainted with his posi-
tion are aware that he never had the means of making a provis!.n
for his widow. Under such circumstances, it is hoped that the case
of Mrs. Holle<t will commend itself to the generous consideration
of those who are blessed with the means of alleviating, so far as
human sympathy and assistance can alleviate, the distress of a
family so fearfully bereft of its natural supporter. The income of
Mrs. Holiest does not exceed 401. per annum, and subscriptions are
earnestly solicited in aid of these inadequate means. Subscriptions
will be thankfully received by the following bankers :—Messrs.
lierries, Farquhar. and Co. ; Messrs. Williams, Deacon, and Co.;
Messrs. Barclay, Tritton, and Co.; Messrs. Coutts, and Ce.; Messrs.
Smith, Payne, and Co.; Sir S. Scott, Bart., and Co., I, Cavendish-
square; Messrs. Mangles Brothers, Guildford; Messrs. Stevens
and Blandy, Reading; also by the following members of the Com-
mittee :
R. R. Bayley, Esq., Mitchett, Fernley, Bagshot.
J. F. Burrell, Et.q., Manor House, Fernley.

Sir Walter Farquhar, Bart., arnboronzh-place, Bagshot.
Thomas Longman, Esq., Farnborough-hill, Bagshot.
Captain Charles Edward Mangles, Poyle-park, Farnham, Surrey.

The Cornmitfee have the satisfaction to state that her Majesty the
Queen, the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Bishop of Winchester,
have sanctioned their exertions by very liberal donations.

in which their appeal has been responded to, and :hey thankfully

p OST-OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY,
For 1851,

Now Published, in 2.000 pages royal Bvo., price 355.,
Being the Fifty-second Annual Edition,
Comprising, among other information,
OFFICIAL DIRECTORY ; STREET DIRECTORY;
COMMERCIAL DIRECTORY;
TRADES' DIRECTORY.; LAW DIRECTORY;
COURT DIRECTORY;
PARLIAMENTARY DIRECTORY,
POSTAL DIRECTORY; CITY DIRECTORY;
CONVEYANCE DIRECTORY;
BANKING DIRECTORY;
&e. &c. &c.

The following are Reviews of the New Edition, which have
appeared In the leading Metropolitan Journals :
SUN, NoVanteatt 13, MO.

Among the many products of British industry, none, perhaps, will
better deserve a place in the Exhibition of 1851, than this mammoth
volume, in itselr a specimen of industry, research, accuracy, and
typography, which has rarely, if ever been eqaalled, and which can
never be surpassed, whilst, at the same time, it is the guide to, and
the record of, all those great and magnificent industrial establish-
ments, to the existence of which in London she owes the proud posi-
tion which she holds as the metropolis of the civilized world, which
occupy buildings covering a space of ground larger than the territo-.
ries of many a German or Italian independent Prince, and which
give employment to individuals whose numbers exceed those of the
armies of many of the first-rate powers of the world. As a not un-
worthy specimen of British industry itself, and as a copious, and ac-
curate, and complete index to every other species of metropolitan in-
dustry, "Kelly's Post Office London Directory" is certainly entitled to
a place in the Exhibition which is to take place in the Glass Palace of
Industry in the year 1851. This publication of the " Post Office
London Directory" commenced in the year 1799, and the present
is, consequently, the fifty-second annual publication ; and it is a
matter of curious research to compare the present with the early
editions et the work, and to mark the vast improvement which has
been effected; in fact the present resembles the earlier editions
in name merely. The work, in order to facilitate reference, is
now divided into no less than ten Directories :—viz., an " Official
Directory," a " Street Directory," a "Commercial Directory," a
" Trades Directory," a" Law Directory," a "Court Directory," a
" Parliamentary-Directory," a " Postal Directory," a " City Direc-
tory," a " Conveyance Directory," and a " Banking Directory" ;
and the whole is so admirably indexed that a person desiring any
information with regard to the great metropolis or its inhabitants,
cannot expetiencelhe slightest difficulty in at once laying -his finger
on the page of the 2,091 pages of which this book is composed,
which contains the information he requires. The present edition of
the Directory contains a list of the principal hotels and commercial
inns throughout Eagland and Wales, with the names of the occu-
piers, and the population. In this we see only another proof of the
anxiety of the proprietor to make his work as complete, as
useful, and as perfect as possible. As he himself well observes in
his preface :—" Copiousness, accuracy, and appropriate classifica-
tion, so that everything which may reasonably be exnected in such
a book may not only be found, but fou.id without difficulty, are in-
dispensable to perfection. These advantages can in any Directory
only be attained gradually, and not completely until, as in this cate,
the work enjoys the entire circulation. While rivals existed pa-
tronage was • divided between books which were, or should have
been, counterparts of each other; the public, thererore, had to pay
more than they need have done for such works as were brought
out, and besides to submit to inferior productions, the total receipts
not being sufficient to sustain two Directories of London, each as
comprehensive as the present. And that the case was precisely as
here stated is proved by the fact that this volume—to say nothing of
its superior accuracy, classification, and general arrangement—
contains about double the quantity of mere letter-press contained in
the closing volume of its latest annual competitor, and is published
to its subscribers at a lower price. So that the public, as well as
the proprietor of the ' Post Office London Directory,' benefit by the
circumstance that the work is—as it has for several years past been
—without a competitor. It may he safely predicted that this fa-
vourable position will be continued—firmly established as this Di-
rectory is in public favour, it can only be necessary that an equal
amount of diligence to that which has led to so gratifying a result
still be 'continued, in order to sustain it ; on this the public may with
confidence rely." The public have for years past relied with confi-
dence on the exertions of the proprietors of the " Post Office London
Directory," and have invariably found their confidence responded
to, so that year by year the work has become more copious, more
accurate, and better classified, until now it has attained that which
is to all appearance a state of absolute perfection, and is, in every
sense of the phrase, without a rival.

TIMES, NOVEMBER 14, 1850.

The volume for the Year 1851 has just been published by Messrs.
Kelly and Co , Boswell-court, Temple•bar, and is the 52d of a most
raluable series. This volume, like its predecessors, contains a mass
of very useful, and in the present state of the community almost
indispensable, information, compiled with indefatigable industry,
and with an accuracy of research which may be relied on. The
present volume is in arrangement and distribution of matter similar
to those by which it has been preeeded. It is remarkably well
printed, and made in appearance as handsome as a book of such a
class can be made. What can be said of few books of the same
bulk may fairly be said of it—that no part could be taken from it
without doing it an injury, and its very bulk is a security for its
copiousness. There is, as usual, a good map of London prefixed to
the letter-press, and a variety of emendations which render it as
perfect as such a work can be made.

MORNING HERALD, NOVEMBER 13. 1850.
The fifty-second publication of this stuuendous annual his just
made its appearance, exhibiting no remission of that intelligent and
systematic industry which has hitherto given the book so specific a
character for unique and comprehensive utility. Within this large
and plethoric volume every name and residence, every trade and
profession, incident to the metropolis is to be found arranged
upon such a clear and orderly plan as to place it within in-
stant reach. Every succeeding issue has suggested some im-
provement in the methods of detail, as well as in the completion of
the machinery by which such a multitudinous assemblage of facts
might be revised and corrected at intervals ; and the book may now
be pronounced perfect. The experience of the last few years has
taught us to put the mest implicit faith in the records of the " Post
Office Directory." Error can scarcely be said to exist at all, so
efficient is the process by which the separate lists are edited by
special emissaries ; while the wants of any sort of inquirer, whether
referring to the Government official or the City merchant, the
professional man or the shopkeeper, are met by the jadic.ous nature
of the sub-divisions and the facility afforded by the treble Directories
of streets, trades, and persons. But the char icteristics of Mr. Kelly's
mammoth periodical are well known, for no book is subjected to
more frequent reference. It has now become a public necessity ;
and to he without it would be an inconvenience the public would but
ill like to encounter. We have often been called upon to applaud the
immen .e amount of laborious enterpr.se bestowed upon the prepara-
tion of this volume. Every fresh instance suggests the same species
of apostrophe; and no one can turn over the two thousand pages of
which it consists, every page a mass of small solid typography, with-
out being struck with the magnitude of the undertaking, and its im-
measurable usefulness to the public at large. We have nothing now
to add to our former commendations. The volume for 1851 contains
the usual number of Directories, besides a variety of information
upon every subject either remotely or immediately connected with
the occupancy of London. Remark beyond this is superfluous.

risiild ol'e,,,evy householder among the tn'o millions of inhabitants.
Such is, howeVeri tha fact. The " Post Office Directory" will tell
him all this and more ;Or, besides the names of streets, lanes, and
alleys, it will supply a distifiet index to all professions and trades.
and to all establishments about which any one can have occasion to
inquire. The librarians of the British Museum have been some ten
Or twenty years trying to catalogue some 300,000 or 400,000 books,
and they are not yet one quarter through the NI ork. Would it not
be well to send them to the compilers of the " Post Office Directory,'
who have found out a way to catalogue some two millions of items
every year ?

HIPPING AND MERCANTILE GAZETTE, DECEMBER 6, 1850.
The volume of this important and indispensable work for the
forthcoming year has just made its appearance, and exhibits no fall-
ing off, either in bulk or utility, when compared with the large
family of volumes which have preceded it. The same principles of
division and subdivision are preserved, and such is the completeness
of the plan, that any fact touching the occupancy or calling of a re-
sident in London is placed within the ,immediate grasp. But the
Zealous and unwearying industry which has always presided over
the preparation of this stupendous aantud has too frequently been
acknowledged toneed panegyric now, The "Post Office Directory"
has long been an eggential in every counting-house; and such it
will always be, so long as*the same comprehensive spirit governs the
supervision. The new volume contains every correction and addi-
tion that the lapse of another year hat Tendered necessary ; and the
excellence of the machinery by which this is effected enables the
editors to bring their labours down to a very recent period. A book
in daily use, as this is, and subjected to such frequent reference, is
tested as closely as it is possible to test anything of the sort ; and the
best praise that we can bestow upon it is. that we never knew it to
mislead any one by false or imperfect information. Every year ne-
cessarily improves the methods laid do wn for collecting the peculiar
kind of intelligence in which it deals, and ensures the More certainly
the accuracy of its registration; and as the book has long distanced
competition, so is it likely, to remain what it has now for some years
been, an extraordinary and unparalleled monument of diligence,
energy, and enterprise.

WEEKLY DISPATCH, NOVEMBER 17, 1850.
Messrs. Kelly and Co. have just published the fifty-second annual
edition of the " Post Office Directory." Haring examined the con-
tents of this mammoth book, in every department, with scrutinizing
attention, and having before given our unqualified approbation of
it, wa may readily he excused for printing the following observa-
tions from the address of the spirited publishers, and adopting them
as our own :—" The Directory was long at the head of books of its
class, and has now, 'for many years, stood alone its varied lists,
classifications, and arrangements, comprising as they do—' Official
Directory;' Street Directory;' Commercial Directory;' Trades'
Directory ;" Law Directory;' Court Directory:" Parliamentary
Directory;' Postal Directory ;" City Directory ;" Conveyance
Directory ;' ' Banking Directory,' &c., leave all chances of com-
petition at hopeless distance, as successive attempts have fully proved.
It cannot be requisite to give, in detail, the contents bf a work so
universally known and in such general use, and all that can be neces-
sary to announce is, that every exertion has been used in order that
the present edition may merit the gratifying description of its im-
mediate predecessors, characterised as these have been, in the metro-
politan journals, as the Hand-books to the commerce of the first
commercial city of the world.' In the case of such a volume, pro-
duced but once a year, mere cost must always be quite secondary
to fulness of information and accuracy of arrangement; still, it
may not be entirely irrelevant to direct attention to the fact, that,
taking its bulk only, without reference to the general typographical
and other arrangements, it is by far the cheapest book which issues
ftom the English press. In the year 1844 the classification and ar-
rangements which have been since continued were adopted, and the
price of the volume fixed at thirty shillings; at this time the work
had an opponent, and much surprise was excited that the ' Post
Office London Directory' could, with its far greater amount of mat-
tor, be sold at a lower price than its competitor. In the year named,
the' Post Office London Directory' was included in 1,855 of its im-
perial octavo pages; it now extends to 2,082, being tut actual excess
of 227 of these pages. This large addition (made since the Post
Office has been the only Directory of London), although necessarily
involving a greatly increased outlay in the production, has been ac-
complished without any addition to the price of the book to its sub-
scribers."'

your orders, supported by four hundred hatters to defend from
the weather the locks or the wigs which any of the seven hundred
professors of hair-dre3sing, let alone the poor barbers, will gladly
dress or supply. Six hundred and odd coal merchants—real and
brass-plate—will supply coals to boil the kettle for the tea, which
eight hundred and eighty manufacturers of milk will weaken and
slightly discolour wi,h their patent composition. Let us turn from
the body to the intellect and the soul. For the mighty mass four
hundred and fifty public and national schools proffer education,
mostly free; whilst seven hundred and fifty other private acade-
mies will supply a similar article according to the price. By
But National Church one hundred and forty-nine churches are pro-
vided for the people, more than halt of which are practically closed
to the poor, by reason of their being private property. The rest of
the religious accommodation is divided among the,sections and sub-
sections of Dissent, numbering one hundred and eighty in all. This
is a sad picture. How long will it be ere the painting IP altered ?
The hody is indeed cared for in disease as well as in health ; besides
more than 300 physicians, waiting to be called in, little less than
seventeen hundred surgeons are prepared to act as their pioneers.
Such is London—living London— respectable London—on each of
whose inhabitants depend so many of their fellow-denizens of the
Monster Hive.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.
Capital-500,000/.
(Incorpqrated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.)
The leading principles of this Office ar3 —Moderate and equitable
Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits.
The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so
great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess
than calculation.

It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the
different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the
amount of annual Premiums received by each.
It Is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers,
that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the
true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rance Company is established.
The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap-
proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied.
Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to
the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as
security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer
is largely interested in this uucstion, and will consult his interest by
supporting a system where, by a sareful combination of Classifica-
tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant anal, sic of its own
experience, from time to tie- e, adopt such rates of Premium as the
nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange-
ments as regards tariffs with other offices.
With this view an annual inveCtigation will be made into each
class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett
excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have
been in force for three years.
Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon
every description of Property on moderate terms.
Farming Stock insured at 3s per cent, without the Average Clause.
Prospectuses. and every information may be obtained, on applica-
tion at the Office, or to any of its Agents.
