POST-OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY, for
1844, in 1,8.60 closely-printed imperial octavo pages,
price 30s. The earliest copy of the work has been but one
month issued, and the following reviews have appeared in tke
Trading metropolitan journals:—
Sun, December 7, 1813.—" The present number extends to 1,849
pages, and embraces a more comprehensive detail of the vast ma.
chincry which London exhibits than any work of the kind yet pub-
lished. The compiler has confined his labours rather more to sim-
plifying former articles, with indispensable additions to which
circumstances give rise, than to increase the work by new subjects of
reference: in fact, these appear to be nearly exhausted. A slight
glance at the index will show what a vast field is included in this
multifarious work. sti e there find the following headings, and sub-
joined to these are branches extending to every department :—Court
of Chancery, Admiralty, Army Agents, Assurance Companies,
Banking Directory, City Directory, Commercial and Professional
Directory, Convetance Directory, Court Directory, Dock Com panics,
Law Directory, Parliamentary Directory, Postal Directory, Public
Compl tries, Ra l ways, Street Directory, Trades Directory, Universal
Rates of Postage, and, in short, every species of infirmaticoi that
not only men of business, but persons in all ranks of life, in the
country as well as in Londorn will find of great service in their daily
transactions. It would be tedious to give specimens of the manner
in which this valuable publication has been arranged, asd we may
therefore say that, as regards the Street Directory,' the ' Postal
Directory,' and the Conveyance Directory,' without including the
varied information on almost every commercial transaction, it is the
most copious and correct work of the kind yet published."
The km, s, December 7, 1843.—" The London Posi Office Di-
rector,' f r the coming year has just passed through the press, and
now forms one of the most useful v Limes which at this season make
their appearance. Useful is a proper term when aml.ied to this pub.
1 cation, but the term indispensable would be equally appropriate, for
to merchants, bankers, and to all persons in business, the book is so
important that to be without it is almost to be in a state of ignorance
about what it concerns every man commercially connected or em-
ployed to know. 'Phis work, though it has little of the pretence of
the' annuals,' as they are called, has as much real merit as any of
them, and though nit precisely the book for the boudoir or the draw-
ing-room, i• the proper annual for the counting-house and the shop.
It has been got up with great industry, great labour, great research,
and great expense, and the result is a book of reference for every.day
life, and a mass of valuable and accurate information. The volume
for 1844, in addition to all the intelligence conveyed in the volumes
of this sear and past years, contains in that portion of it called the
Res al Diri.ctory,' a digest of the most recent arra, gements in a
compre ensive firm, so arranged that an e-,ss referenc, can be made
to whatever under that head the inquirer may want to find out. This
is more particularly to be seen in the tables of Universal Rates on
Postage.' There are other improvements which will be easily seen if
consulting the various divisions of the book, and the whole is so well
arranged that to discover what is sought for is a matter very easily
accomplished. Accuray and fidelity, the great requisites in a puisli-
ration of this kind, are visible throughout, and great credit is due to
the compilers."
