POST OFFICE LONDON' _DIRECTORY

FOR 1862.

KELLY AND CO., OLD BOSWELL-COURT.

There are some advantages so common as to be
hardly estimated at their real value. Year by
year Lon&ners accept the publication of the Post
Office Directory as a mere matter of course, without
rightly estimating the amount of care and labour
expended on its compilation, or realising the help-
less perplexity to which many of us would be
reduced were we compelled to thread the mazes
of this mighty metropolis without the assistance of
this potent guide. It is like the fairy Order who
disposed of all the heroine's difficulties in the old
nursery tale, for it reduces the thronging crowds
into rank and file, subdividing them in so many
ways, arranging them in such clear and simple
divisions, that any one who can read is safe to.find
his way to any specified place or person in the
modern Babylon, althou_fh the address or locality
might previously be totally unknown to him. The
current edition of this valuable work is prepared
with the usual care and precision ; the accuracy of
all the entries having been tested by special inquiry.
The Postal and Conveyance Directories have been al.
tered and improved, and the proprietors express their
well-founded conviction that the number for 1862
will be found equal to the best of its predecessors.
It is satisfactory to know that the work will be
continued in the same manner, being compiled .by
the same editors, circulated in the same manner,
and printed from the type obtained expressly for
it, and always kept standing. A comprehensive
map of London is, as usual, prefixed.

therefore, must, to say the least, have been the result of
culpable negligence—a negligence which appears peculiar
to cases of this description, where the offender has for a
lung series of years had uncontrolled command of the funds
of other people. It seems vain to hope, after past expe-
rience, that much trouble will I e taken in the matter, but
it would be a satisfaction if anything could be ascertained
as to the excuses offered for she remissness, and whether
there is any intent'on of instituting such a pursuit as is
generally found successful in the case of minor delinquents.

" THAT'S THE CIIEESE."—The Indian derivation
of this saying is well known as applying to the right
description of thing. But an enterprising-arid indefatigable
provision dealer, Mr. Osborne, on Ludgate-hill, has given
a graphic illustration of what can be done with the product
of the dairy—a perfect model farm, the march of a body of
rifles, the bustle of a railway, and the silent commerce of
the river, all being set forth in. full relief in his shop
windows. Indeed, it is as ingenious a display as a clever
mind could devise, and with such a one the love of art must
be innate, while at the same time Mr. Osborne would im-
press the concourse of people who stay to gaze and admire
that there is nothing like—cheese—{Aube.
