lIERAPATII'S RAILWAY JOURNAL, NOVEMBER 24, 1849.

The " Post-office London Directory" for 1850 is out. It occupies
a space on one's book-shelf as large as two or three other good-
sized volumes put together, and, in point of utility, especially to
the commercial classes, it must occupy a first place in public esti-
mation. In it is contained a mass of most useful in!ormation ;
information that is not to be found elsewhere. Additions and
corrections are observable in the present edition of the " Post-office
Directory ;" so that the Messrs. Kelly appear determined to distance
all attempts at competition and undermining, whether from a host
of little competitors to parts of the work—constantly appearing
and as periodically dying off—or from Members of Parliament,
for be it remembered that some time ago, certain gentlemen
of the Lower House, seeing so great and important a work
successfully conducted by private enterprise, thought it time
for the Government to stop and take possession. A little delibera-
.

lion, however, soon taught them that' though the position of head
of the " London Directory" was a desirable post to occupy, it was one
which they could not manage without encountering too much
labour and risk of failure. The " Post-office Directory" has now
reached its 51st year, a good age, but it seems to be all the better
for it, and likely to improve in appearance every year that it
grows older. We think the public are much indebted to Messrs.
Kelly for the great exerticns they evidently bestow in the pro-
(Diction of a work of so much national utility. It is a work of
every-day reference which no person in the active walks of life
should be without.

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 those complaints are beyond the reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking 'or assistance where
alone it can be procured. Dr. LVMERT has taken the highest
medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his
practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi-
ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these
diseases. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
