division and subdivision are preserved, and welt 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 animal has too frequently been
acknowledged to need panegyric now. The " Post Office Directory"
has long been an essential 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 has rendered necessary ; and the
excellence of the machinery by which this is effected enables the
editors to bring their labour; down to a very rec-nt period. A book
in daily use, as this is, and suhjectcd to such frequent reference, is
tested as cldsely 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
mi,lead any one by false or Imperfect information. Every yell' ne-
cessarily improves the methods laiddohn for collecting the peculiar
kind of intelligence its which it deals, and ensures the more certainly
the accurtcy of its registration ; and as the book has long distanced
competition, so is it likely to remain what it Wks now for some years
been, an extraordinary and unparalleled monument of diligence,
energy, and enterprise.

WEEKLY DIAPATCH, NOVEMBEU 17, 1850.
Messrs. Kelly and Co. have just published the fifty-second annual
edition of the " Post Office Directory." Having examined the con-
tents of this mammoth book, in every department, with scrutinizing
attention, and having before given our unqualified approbation of
it, we may readily be excused for printing the following observa-
tions from the address of the spirited publishers, awl adopting them
as our own :—" The Directory was long at lira head of books of its
class, and has now, for many years, stood alone : its varied lists,
classifications, and arrangements, compr'sing 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 fullyproved.
It cannot be requisite to give, in detail, the contents of a work so
universally kn .wn and in such general use, and all that can be neces-
sary to announce is, that every exertion, pas been used in order that
the present edition may merit the gratifying •:`descriptio‘ef its im-
mediate predecessors, characterised as these have been, histhe metro-
politan journals, as the Hariato.6l4:o4o,,the,sorn cOce of the first
commercial city of the world.' tin fhe case cif such IT Yolume, pro-
duced but once a year, mere orsist trust 'alwaYS • be ,quite secondary
to fulness of information ar.4e aecuracy of arrangement ; still, it
may not be entirely irrelevant to. ',2lfrect attention to the fact, that,
taking its bulk only, without reference tO the ger eral typiographical
and other arrangements, it is by far the cheapest book.' hich issues
from the English press. In the year 18441he.clastification and ar-
rangements which have been since cont intserlfAvere adopted, andlbe
price of the volume fixed at thirty Shillings; timet the work
had an opponent, and •much ..surprise was excited that the Poet
Office London Directory' court, with its far greater arritiitit of mat-
tor, be sold at a lower price than its competitor. In the year named,
the' Post Office London Directory' was included in WO of its im-
perial ortavo pages ; it now extends to 2,082, being en-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 wit'iout any addition to the price of the book to its Sub-
scribers.",

EXAMINER, NOVEMBER IG, 1850.
This extraordinary compilation maintains its high character. For
copiousness, correctness, anl admirable clas..iticatien, it has no
approach to a competitor. It is not si nply one Directory; it is a
dozen separate Directories; yet so skilfully arranged and connected
as to tend each to the other's greater. completeness. The several
Directories of ,streets, trades, professi mis and persons, are a re-
marka,le example of this. Each is complete in itself, yet none
would be so to the same extent merely 'by itself. successive years
(and the book is now fifty-two years old) have contributed their ex-

we. are needlessly commending what isobecome a publle neces-
sity to every one engagei in the general business of London Mb.
Perhaps we could hardly express the magnitude or wonders of our
&ty more forcibly to.the foreign friends who visit us next May,
th no by placing in their hands this astonishing record of the trades
and callings, of the several modes of life, of the infinitely vast and
various streams of human existence and interests, which are now
all gathered together under the name of London.

SPECTATOR, NOVEMBER 16, 1850.
This gigantic publication, with its two thousand pages of closely-
packed type, seems to leave nothing more to be desired in the way
of new subjects, or the exhibition of those subjects in different as-
pects, sl that the searcher, who from want of particulars fals In
one mode cf examination, may have recourse to another. If there
are here and there slight errors or omissions of detail, they may
f .Irly be ascribed to the multiplicity of minutia', or to the necessity
of sometimes relying on second-hand information. It would be well,
however, to bear in mind the necessity of unceasing watchfulness as
regards accuracy.

JOHN BULL, NOVEMBER 16, 1850.
The fifty •second edition of that monster repertory of the great
Babylon of modern times, and of all that dwell and trade therein,
—Kelly's " Post Office London Directory for 1S51" —is now lying
before us; boating witness in its annually increasing bulk to the
incessant growth of the metropolis in all directions. In every de-
partment of its encyclopaedic contents the present edition furnishes
evidence of the indefatigable industry with which it is kept ` au
tour int' of the countless changes which take place from year to year
in so vast a population.

HERAPATIP3 it \ILWAY JOURNAL, NOVEMBER 16, 1850.
The fifty-second annual edition, which has just appeared, merits
all that could be said for it. The 3lessre. Kelly seem to gicry in
their "Post Office Directory," and to strive, year after year, to effect
improvements. It is tin ,ossible to deny that up ta, and including
the present praiseworthy ed tion, they hive succee'cd. They hare
now securely in their hands the monopoly of the book, and far from
abusing it, the result bears evidence that it has been beneficial to
the public.

ATLAS, NOVEMBER 16, 1850.
Year after year adds to the wonders of this digest of the most
wonderful of modern cities. "London," said M. Scrite, "is not a
City. but an agglomeration of divers interests, passions, and preju-
dices." Whatever these may be, they are all tab!ed in this volume,
with a completeness and accuracy without a parallel. We scarcely
know which to be the most proud ef=the enormous city which could
furnish material,: for such a work, or the industry and enterprise
necessary to reduce to order such a complex variety of facts, which
make the volume as interesting to the curious as it is indispensable
to men of business. The volume this year extends to 2,091 'pages.
The classification is the same as usua' ; in fact, it w s impossible to
improve upon it. We have examined for ourselves many of the new
references for the present year, and can Ikar testimonyto their per-
fect accuracy.

The body is indeed cared for in disease as well as in health ; besides
more than 300 physicians, waiti,g to be called in, little lass than
seventeen hundred surgeons are prepared to act as their pioneers.
Such is London—living London— respectable London—an each of
whose inhabitants depend so many of their fellow-denizens of the
Monster Hive.

THE WIDOW of tLe late Rev. GEORGE '
EDWARD HOLLEST, of Fernley, Surrey.—Frimley, Bag-
shut, December 4, 1150.—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 HOLIEST,
who for a p rind 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. ilo:lest was soddenly cut off is
universally known, but those only who are acquainted with his posi-
tion are aware that he never had the means of making a provision
for his widow. Under such circumstances, it is hoped that the case
of Mrs. Holiest 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
fitinly 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 he thankfully received by the following bankers :—Messrs.
[Terries, Farquhar, and Co.; Messrs. Williams, Deacon, and Co.;
Messrs. Barclay, Tritton, and Co.; Messrs. Coutts, and Co.; Messrs.
Smith, Payne, and Co.; Sir 8. Scott, Bart., and Co., I, Cavendish-

EQUITABLE FIRE OFF.CE.
Capital-500,0101.
(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Incr., cap. 1 I 0.)
The leaaing principles of this Office era —lllMerate and equitable
Rates or 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 Corapanies 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 to made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rance Company is established.
The true rate of Premlim for Fire Insaranee can only be ap-
proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted en, 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 question, and will consult his interest by
supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica-
tion and Aver,ge, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant anal s sis of its own
experience, from time to tirr e, adopt such rates of Premium as the
nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange..
menta as regards tariffs with other offices.
With this view an annual Investigation will be made into each
class of risk, and a return of ono 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 Cosnpeny upon
every description of Pr,nerty on moderate terms.
Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clanse.

tion at the Office, or to any of its Agents.
