office Directory" Is an exception. Although it is impossible to give
a conscientious opinion of the details of a work coutu uing upwari
of two thousand pages from a hasty examination of them, yet we
have no reason to suppose that errors such as those we pointed out
in a former volume exists in th's. As a cursory test we took up the
names of some individuals who Dave been affected by very recent
changes, and find that these changes are duly notified. As regards
price, this book is.perh,ps the cheapest thirty shillings' worth ever
issued from the press.

GLOBE, NOVEMBER 23, 1849.
The fifty-first edition, that fur 1850, of tills long-established and
useful publication, has just been publ,hed, and falls in no way
behind its predecessors either in its typography, accuracy, or ar-
rangements. The volume before us contains no 'less than 2,088
pages, being an Increase, since 1841, of 233 pages ; and, notwith-
standing the increased size, the price remains„ the same, viz.,
30s. The present volume brings down to the latest date all infor-
mation respecing the residences, &c., of the members of the Legis-
lature and the Government, of the nobility and gentry, and of the
members of the various professions and trades carried on In the me-
tropolis. A work of such ac,uracy and general utility is an in-
dispensable requisite in the counting-house and shop of every
trader, and in the ofil:e of every professional man. As in the
previous volumes, the contents are carefully arranged under the
following heads .—" The Official," " the Street," "the Commercial."
" the Trades," " the Law," " the Court," " the Parliamentary,"
" the Postal," " the City," " the Conveyance," " the Banking,"
and " the Assurance Directories ;" and by the aid of a copious index
which is prefixed,- -any information which may be required can be
got without trouble or loss of time.

SHIPPING GAZETTE, Dzczunra 14, 1849.
The perseverance and enterprise of Messrs. Kelly and Co. have
again been mrafested in the publication of the " Post-office Direc-
tory," which comes forth at the appointed time with, if possible,
increased claims "upon the patronage of those whom it concerns.
The energy which has been shown, for half a century past, upon
the production of this gigantic volume, has established such a com-
plete system of machinery as to ensure a degree of accuracy in the
periodical correction of the several branches of information whien
it is its province to supply. that a few years ago would have been
thought impossible. But there is no mistake in the matter. The
Directory of Messrs. Kelly is a masterpiece of unwearied industry,
and the only book of a professedly useful and practical character
that the merchants and traders of the city of London can Nor do
without. It presents at one view an immense compendium of facts,
arranged with such admirable precision and method as to be surely
and immediately available. The book is divided into a circle of
Directories, each having a specific head—namely, of Government
Officials, Streets, Merchants and Tradespeople, Trades, Lawyers,
Placemen, Peers and Members of Parliament, Post-office ant Civic
Functionaries, Conveyances, Banking-houses, and Assurance-offices.
The plan thus adopted is replete with advantages, for, if you have
forgotten the name of any individual whose residence you desire to
know, you find him under his occupation; the latter branch of
analysis giving also a comprehensive tableau of the number of
persons engaged in each of the multitudinous avocations carried on
withih the boundaries of the metropolis: The reputation which the
" Post-office Directory" enjoys has not been gained without
warrant. It has proved itself to be immeasurably superior to all
other attempts which have from time to time been made to super-
sede it ; and it may now be fairly viewed as a book of reference
beyond the' remotest possibility of rivalry. That it will maintain
this position there can be no doubt, for every year corroborates the
public faith in its truth, and witnesses the continuance of that close
and critical supervision, without which its credit and its value
would greatly diminish.

WEEKLY DISPATCH, NOVEMBER 25, 1849.
The fifty-first annual publication of this most useful commercial
work is now before us. The pr else we accorded to former editions
may be imported into this notice without the slightest fear of being
charged with exaggerat'on. Eyerything connected with the volume
is marked with nnting,ging energy, and a desire to send it forth to
the public in the most perfect and useful form. The principal
matter is comprised under eleven heads, namely:—An " Official Di-
rectory ;" a " Street Directory ; " a " Trades Directory ;" a " Law
Directory;" a "Commercial Directory ;" a " Court Directory;" a
"Parliamentary Directory:" a " Postal Directory ;" a "City Di-
rectory ;" a " Conveyance Directory ;" and a " Banking Directory ;"
The " Official Directory" contains an alphabetical list of persons
h Iding situations in the East India House, Bank of England, the
various Law, City, and all other public offices ; list of her Ma-
esty's Privy Council, the chief officers of State, and of her Majesty's
Household, &c. The " Street Directory" contains the names and
residences of private individuals and persons associated with trade
and the professions. The " Commercial Directory and Professional
Directory" contains an alphabetical list of all persons engaged in
business, with an elaborate index, which enables any one, at a
glance, to refer to any description of persons, whether brokers, bul-
lion merchants, artists, agents, or manufacturers. " The Law Di-
rectory" points to the names of all persons who hold offices in the
Court of Chancery, the Court of Queen's Bench, the Common Plea',
the Court of Exchequer, the Courts of Bankruptcy, the Court for
the Relief of Insolvent Debtors, and the nature of those offices ;
there is, besides, a complete list of attorneys, and their residences.
•` The Court Directory" enumerates the names of ladies and gentle-
men 'unconnected with any trade or profession. "The Parlia-
mentary Directory" contains a list of the House of Peers, arranged
according to their orders of precedence, with their names and
residences ; and an alphabetical list of the Members of the House
of Commons, with the counties and boroughs they represent,
and- their London residences and country seats. " The
Postal Directory" conveys every information relative to the rates of
postage, the limitation of weight of letters, and their size, ice.;
the names of all post-towns, and also of the resident post-masters.
The " City Directory" contains the names of the Aldermen and
Common-Councilmen, the harbour-masters, market-collectors, a
list of sworn brokirs, a complete list of London and provincial
newspapers, town and country newspaper agents, Bsc. The " Con-
veyance Directory" affords every information connected with the
departure and arrival of railway trains ; a list of inns, wharfs, and
quays, and the places whence waggons, vans, carts, vesseis, barges,
and boats leave for inland towns and villages. The "Banking Di-
rectory" contains a list of banking establishments. throughout the
country, the limit of the circulation of each, their branches, &c.
We have now partially enumerated the counents of this enormous
volume, and are bound to pronobnce it an honour to this great
commercial nation, and to the enterprising publishers. There is no
other work in which se much useful information is imparted, not
to the man of business only, but to the Peer and the peasent, seeing
that while:every counting-house desk groans under the weight of the
Directory, the latter will find no difficulty in seeking access to its
pages.

EXAMINER, DECEMBER 1, 1849.
This most useful and admirable book has entered on its second
half-century. This is its flfty•first publication. But age adds to its
strength and resources, and it was never so elaborate or so accurate
as now. It comprises, as we have often said, many Directories, and
contains ample information for inquirers of every class. There is no
information wanting i❑ it which such a book ought to give, or which
dwellers ln this great city are likely to require. Its " Official Di-
rectory" gives the name of every pub is employe, and all needful
detail as to the public offices. Its "Street Directory" comprises
every class and kind of London resident—an attempt never before

made in such a compilation. Under its "Commercial and Trades'
Directories" are arranged, in all classes, all who pursue the two
thous Ind various business-occupations with which London is so
grievously overstocked. The "Court and Law Directories," and
those of "Banking and Assurance," have the like merit In -their
several departments. In the" Postal Directory" we have the some-
what complex machinery of St. Martin's-le-Grand, and the countless
offices and duties therewith connected, made clear and easy of com-
prehension. Nor is the ." Conveyance Directory" less useful. It is
obvious that Without a strict arrangement and classification such
ample and various information as the would be cumbrous and un-
serviceable. But in its order, divisions, and condensation, we have
perhaps the most characteristic features of this extraordinary com-
pilation. The " Street Directory" is worth consulting with a view
to this. It not only tells you the number of the house you want,
bat it indicates its position and whereabouts. Let us add that Mr.
Kelly's information is brought down to the very latest date, corn-
rising even the present Lords Albemarle and Alvanley, and the
last election for Cork.

BRITANNIA. DECEMBER 1, 1849.
Of all the wonders of industry and skill produced by England in
the course of the year it would be difficult to single out any one so
remarkable as this. We should pronounce the effort impossible,
were not its successful accomplishment before us. Let any one con-
sider the extent of our metropolis from east to west and from north
to south—let him traverse some of its more crowded districts, and,
passing from broad open lines of thoroughfare, dive down into
winding lanes and cross courts, imperfectly known to even the most
diligent seeker of " short cuts"—let him then stretch out into the
suburbs, and mark the innumerab"e lines of roads branching out in
all direction—let him glance as he goes at the various trades and
occupations which everywhere meet his eye— and then ask himself
what must be the amount of labour required to collect into one book
and range alphabetically the name, the abode, and the occupation of
every holder of every house in this mighty city. And not only so,
but to give, as it were, a chart of every square, street. aed alley,
indicating every turning, and describing the character of every
house, and the name and calling of its inhabitant. Further a et,
to collect together every member of every craft in this huge
hive of industry, and to exhibit them, scattered as they are and
unknown to each other, in a compact form together, so that
any one tradesman, be lie a butcher, baker, or candlestick-
maker, may be picked out, without an instant's loss of time,
from the crowd of his fellows. The production of such a work,
so perfect in all its parts, and so minutely accurate, is a
striking proof of our social progress, and. by showing how far the
science of human classification may may be carried when men are
most thickly packed together, seems to Indicate a more advanced
stage of social fellowship than we have yet reached. The most ad-
mirable feature in this marvellous work is, that its size only adds to
its clearness and precision, Exhibiting so readily the humblest
name, whre embracing the metropol s, it puts one in mind of the
trunk of on elephant, which can pick up a needle or root up a tree.
One of its peculiarities is, that the whole book seems to have been
compiled only the day befo e it is Witted, so lately is every change
recorded. Even the typographical execution is a wonder of accu-
racy ; and the appearance of the whole work, throughout its two
thousand pages and upwards, is fair and uniform, teflecting great
credit on the press of tae Messrs. Kelly. Success so complete as to
drive every competitor from the field has in no way relaxed the ex-
ertions of the Proprietors to consult the pubic convenience. The
volume expands with the metropolis itself, and notes every change
with the fide iy of truth itself. Every person who has had occasion
to consult it must bear testimony to its judicious arrangement and
its inestimable usefulness for ail the vafed aims of London busi-
ness; and to the great saving of time it effects for all purposes of re-
ference. In a word, it is the largest collection of facts in the word,
and the most complete exposition of the life and industry of the me-
tropolis that could possibly be desired.

JOHN BULL, NOVEMBER 24, 1849,

As often as this gigantic volume meets the eye in its annually
renewed form, the question rises in the mind, how it is possible to
trace, in the ever-shifting stream of London life, each unit of the
countless multitude, and to identify on each Individual spot the
beings that house and nestle there. And another question follows
naturally in the train of the former —how is It possible that such an
undertaking can repay the enormous outlay which of necessity it
must occasion, at a price, for the size of the volume, 53 exceedingly
moderate. On the latter point, however, the annual re-appearance
of the volume, In an ever improved and enlarged form, is a sufficient
answer. Patriotic as his laborious undertaking proves Mr. Kelly to
be, we apprehend he is too wi e a man to push his patriotism to the
extreme of making the public a present of 'the volume; and on the
other hand the public is hardly to be supposed so insensible to its
own interest and inconvenience, as not to give the abundant encou-
ragement it deserves to a work so eminently useful. As for the
accuracy of the information, down to the latest practicable moment,
it se happens that the present year affords several remarkable tests.
Two Noble Lords, the Earl of Albemarle and Lord Alvanley, have
died within the last month, the Cork election has only just been
gazetted, and two Bishops have been created, though neither of
them is as yet consecrated. Nevertheless we find, on turning to the
Peerage, the two noblemen who have recently succeeded, in their
proper places ; Dr. Hind and Dr. 011ivant settled in their sees; and
in the " Parliamentary Directory," Colonel Chatterton, the new
Member for Cork, duly registered.

CHURCH OF ENGLIND QUARTERLY REVIEW,
JANUARY, 1850.
We well remember a gentleman of a somewhat unimaginative
turn; on being appealed to for his opinion of Mr. Dickens's works,
replied that they did not appear to him to contain much general in-
formation. This would have been the very book for him, for it is
full of general information. We recollect " Kent's Directory," the
first of the family to which this work belongs ; and we also remem-
ber the " Post-office Directory " in its cradle, and a somewhat
weakly and rickety bantling it was. We never thought it would
nave attained to the fair proportions of the volume before us, or have
displayed the intelligence whi h we find in its pages. Exclusively of a
" Street," " Commercial," and " Court Directory," it contains all
sorts of information desirable to the merchant and the tradesman;
while the l'ost-office regulations, in addition to their fulness, have
the crowning recommendation of authenticity. Among the number-
less competitor. for public favour at this time, we know none more
valuable to a mercantile man as a " Christmas or New Year's Gift.'

CHURCH AND STATE GAZETTE, DECEMBER 28, 1849.
Here is an annual which has completed its first half century, and
which is almost load enough for a moderately strong man to carry.
From the excellent map of London, at the beginning, to the last
page—(and there are upwards of two thousand of them)—there is
not a word in this gigantic volume which a critic can cavil at : his
oeenpation is gone. In the pages before us there is no flattery—as
little of foolish argument—and nothing but truth. Nothing but
truth I—and yet it 13 a guide to our national offices—a Directory for
our streets and all who therein dwell—as well as for Trade, Law,
the Court, the Parliament, ant the City. In short it is a book that
everybody, at some time or other, stands in need of ; and, as we have
said before, it not only tells nothing but truth, but is the only unin-
spired book of which such a character can be given.

SPECTATOR, Novxataast 24, 1849.
This has no new features of any importance, but its utility and
completeness are enforced afresh at each examination. We ray

volume.

COURT JOURNAL, DECEMBER, 22, 1849,

Amongst the many instances of metropolitan industry and skill,
we can point to none more remarkable and useul in Ps way than
the " Post-office London Directory." We have but to draw Atten-
tion to the vast extent, of this metropolis, with its great mass of
population, embracing all ranks, professions, an .1 trades, and we
may form some notion of the immense labour and energy which
must have been expended before such materials could have been got
into such a systematic form as that at one glance we can be made
acquainted with every street, every house, and eery
whether amongst the nobility, gentry, merchants, profess! wet men,
traders, and tradesmen, with the private residences and places of
business of
,each, within the metropolis and its immediate environs.
This publication is not simply one Directory, but comprehends an
" Official Directory," a " Street Directory," " Commercial Direc-
tory," " Trades' Directory," "Law Directory," "Court Directory,"
" Parliamentary Directory," " Postal Directory," " City Directory,"
"Conveyance Directory," "Banking Directory," &c. The "Street
Directory" furnishes the names of the residents in each street or
place. The " Commercial Directory" has all these latter in com-
p plete alphabetical order, while the nobility and gentry will be found
in similar arrangements in the "Court Directory." The " Trades'
Directory " exhibits all the memt era of each of, the two thousand
trades, classified distinctly—the sub-divisions of each being sui'ably
distinguished. The "Law Directory" is devoted to the classifica-
tion of the members of the profession, together with the general
legal matters appropriate to a work of this character; while the
" Parliamentary Directory " furnishes all requisite information
as to Pars And • and Members of Parliament, and as to
their town residences and country seats. The " Postal Directory "
gives full instruction on the subject of Money Orders, and of the
transmission of letters and newspapers to all parts of the world.
The "Conveyance Directory" is devoted to the important subject
which Its tile indica es, as are the "Banking " and " Assurance
Directories." Such a mass of similar information was never exhi- -
bited, until the appearance of this work; and when we look at its
stupendous appearance we are proud to encourage the undertaking ,
upon national grounds.

BELL'S WEEKLY MESSENGER, 'DECEMBER 22, 1849.
No book in existence conveys such a vivid and impressive idea of
the magnitude, wealth, and almost infinite occup diens of the dwe:lers
in the metropolis of the world, as the volume now before us. and
which has establishe 1 for its compiler a reputation which will last as
long .as England shall continue to hold her position among the
nations of the earth. Without a careful examination of the contents
of this immense volume, it would be impossible tc,form anything
like a correct idea of its value, or of the labour which must have
been spent In its compi ation. Certainly no merchant sr tradesman,
no puttic or private company, oaght to be without a copy. Under
its twelve separate Dlrector:es, London and its professions.: and
trades are so fully and accurately classified, that nothing legitimlitely
belonging to either of these heads will be looked fur in vain.

ERA, Novzycarze 25, 1849.

This publication, which is a kind of national annual, has now been
more than half-a-century before the public. It contains now no
fewer than 2,091 pages of most useful and appropriate information,
under the heads of the "Official," the "Street," the "Commer-
cial; the " Trades," the "Law," the "Court," the " Parliamen-'
tary," the "Postal," the " City," the " Conveyance," the " Banking,"
and the " Assurance Direcibries," &c., Etc in reference to all of
which it gives what thousands, particularly those in business, will.
desire to know. Alm numerous facts here collected form an extra-
ordinary mass of valuable intelligence, and the only wonder is how
so many authentic particulars can be gathered together In one book.
It is only the experience and consequent improvements of years that
could do so much. Many are the people who must be engaged in
getting up this printed world of information, notwithstanding the
system of accumulation which is doubtless observed in preparing
every new volume. What book can tell you so much in reference
to the occupations and domestic relations of people ? The mere ad-
dresses are sufficient to, excite special wonder —look at the Smiths,
for instance, or the Browns, and you will marvel that there are so
many of each in the world. Is must be borne in mind, however,
that this extraordinary Directory does not confine itself to people's
whereabouts, nor what companies dor or protess to do. We have all
that is official set forth, and a book of reference for all occasions 'sm.
nected with the business of life. The public now find this book in-
dispensable to the various commercial and social purposes to which
it is devoted.

burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member
of the London llovital Medical Soddy, &e.
This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un-
fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con-
sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi-
cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro-
neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking 'or assistance where
alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has taken the highest
medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent. of his
practice far many years is a guarantee for his professional experi-
ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatnaent of tbese
diseases.
