Morning Post, December 9, 184.3.--" The new edition of the' Post
Office London Directory' for the ensuing year Pas just been com-
pleted, being the 45th anneal publication. It contains the names of
a vast number of new people engaged in commerce and trade of
every description. No relaxation appears to have taken place in the
efforts ofthe proprietors to render this a most useful and indispen-
sable volume. The amalgam .lion of the nobility, gentry, merchants,
and traders in the *Street Directory' is a most excellent plan, and
the Law Courts and Parliamentary divisions have been corrected up
to the most recent possible date; the latter, e•pecially, are brought
down to a perio 1 as recent as the Salisbury election. The
Postal Directory' contains the latest regulations, and appears to
hare been arranged in a form at once comprehensive and easy of
reference."
Morning Herald. December 6, :843 —" This Directory may be
considered a ne plus ultra in its way. Like Aaron's rod whet)
changed into a serpent, it has swallowed up all that resembled it, its
principal antagonist, the Directory of Robson, having officially sue-
cumeed to its superior size and en'arged c intents. When we men-
tion th .t it contains many e,OOO closely printed pages of reference to
every conceivable subject that can affect the necessities of the London
resident or visit er, we have only indicated a small part of its value,
which, to be properly ap; reciated, must be examined with more
minuteness than we have space to detail. To one new feature we
we mar, however, eirect attention—viz., to that part which contains
the Pestal Directory,' is here a digest will be found, compiled from
the ny st authentic seurces, of the receet treaties with foreign Powers.
The list entitled Universal Bates of Postage' is a most successful
att, mpt to produce tie m in a form at once comprehensive and easy
of reference. Kelly's Directory is, indeed, not only the lergest that
we have ever seen, but, without question, the most perfect."
Morning Advertiser, December 8, !Mae." The 45th annual pub-
lication of this most useful work h s just appeared, and, having
made a carefnl examination of its contents, we feel it to be an act of
justice to the proprietor to say that the statement made in the t reface
as to the great exertions wh ch have been mute to render the edi-
tion for 1814 worthy of the largest commercial city in the woi Id, is
fully borne cut. Great additions have been made itr the present
edition as compared with its ia mediate predecessor, albeit the latter
itself was on so vast a scale. The incicase applies chiefly to the
street,' Commercial,' Trades,''Law,' and 'Court' Directories.
It would be difficult, indeed, to give au idea of the gigantic ',roper-
' lions now a suined by the Directory, and, as for the accuracy with
with which it is compiled, all we can say is, that, alter testing it, as
already descri! ed, we have not been able to discover one single mis-
take. Every information possible connected with a work of this
nature, will be found in it. It is accompanied by an admirable map
of London."
Weekly Dispatch, December 10, 1843.—." The excellent manner
in which, for years past, this Directory has been conducted, has at
length entirely superseded its contemporary, Robson's London Di-
rectory,' but although the managers have no competitor to stimu.
late their exertions for superiority, they have not ceased to devote
their best excr ions to justify the patronage they have received, and
in the number just published for the forthcoming year, we find that '
the Street Directory' is largely increased, and that it has an en-
tirely new feature—viz , tables of the universal rates of postage,
compiled from official sources, comprehending an easy reference of
the postal arrangements contained in the treaties with foreign
Powers. 'I his, and other information which the work contains,
could only be obtained by those who possess the same advantages
as the gentlemen who manage the' Post-office Directory,' and so
long as they continue to devote the same care and attention to the
work that they have hitherto done, their I bourn will be appreciated
and rewarded by the plebe."
Globe, December 7, 1e43.—" The present handsome volume, to
which a large Plan of London is prefixed, and which unites the
characters of a City and Court Directory, must be acknowledged
to be worthy, in the comprehensiveness of its contents, of the
greatest centre of wealth and commerce in the world. It is stated
in the preface that 40,000 names appear in this volume, which
either have not been in print at all, or not at the same addresses ;
and that the 'Street Directory,' which in the edition of 1843 was
comprised in 366, in the present volume extends to 466 pages. The
Postal i ,irectory' furnishes new tables of rates of postage, in con-
formity with the treaties lately concluded with foreign Powers. On
the whole, the volume is the most complete collection of local infor.
mation that ever before was adapted to wants so enormous in local
range."
Britannia, December 9, 1843.--" This wonderful volume—for truly
wonderful it is in every respect— this year augmented to near 2,060
pages, and, what we do not always find to be the case, its value is in.
creased in greater proportion than its bulk. he merit and use-
fulness of any work of this kind depend very greatly on the corn-
; leteness of its details, and on its comprising all the information
which the merchant, trader, or any other person engaged in business
in London can reasonably expect to find ; and, by extensive addi-
tions, and the most laborious attention to minute details, this Direc-
tory is now made so perfect, accurate, and comprehensive, as to leave,
as we imagine, no room for the exercise of further ingenuity in the
way of improvement Every department has been so enlarged as to
render it certain that the required information will he found,
and the system of classification is so well digested and carried
Into detail, that, large as the volume he any single name, or any
item of intelligence, embodied in its multifarious contents,
may be found without an instant's loss of time. Another merit
is, that the information required is never given imperfect. If,
for instance, you look for the name of any banker in the United
Kingdom, you will riot only find it with the proper address, but also
with the house added with which it has connections in London. So
in every other department' you miss nothing you want, and find
much you could not reasonably expect. Among the judicious Im-
provements of this year are the addition of 1:0,000 new names ; a
valuable enlargement of the ' Conveyance Directory,' which now
comprehends every kind of transit made up to the latest date, and
the most recent regulations in the Post Office, with tables of the
new sates of fereign postage. In its complete shape, with an excel-
lent map, a dozen directories in one, with every dwelling in the
metropolis and suburbs marked, with the name of every house.
bolder recorded, and the occupation of every merchant and trader
defined, it presents an example of what may be effected by the union
of enterprise, capital, skill, and industry when they have the dissec-
tion of a city like Landon for their object, and the certainty of its
universal patronage for their reward—the certainty, because it) truth
the volume is a public boon, and as necessary to all persons engaged
in trade as the commonest implements of the counting-house or the
shop, as a day-book, for instance, or an inkstand."
Shipping and Mercantile Gazette, December 14, 1813.—" This
huge annual has again made its appearance. The volume for 1844
is larger than the lest. This is Caused in part by the late increase of
buildings is London, but in a greater degree by additions to its use-
fulness. The Commercial, Court, Street, and other Directories are
considerably enlarged, and so classified as to cause no loss of time in
reference. The Parliamentary Directory' embraces the latest
changes in the repo sentation—namely, those of the City and Salis-
bury. The ' Postal Directory' furniXes new tables of rates of post.
age, in conformity with the recent treaties with foreign Powers.
Besides the Banking. Conveyance, and Official Directories, the coun-
try inns throughout the provinces are given ; indeed, every kind of
information that it is possible to expect in such a work is supplied in
the Post-office London Directory.' A proof of the importance of
this monster book is that it annihilates all rivalry. Its presence, like
that of Polyphone, is a signal for the disappearance of ail who venture
upon the same ground; for we learn from a memorandum attached
to the volum'e that the Proprietors of Hobson's London Directory'
have declared their inalelity to compete with the Post-office volume,'
and have consequently ceased to publish it. Thus the metropolitan,'
like the pastoral monster, has flung the fatal rock upon its most
formidable rival. We should not forget to name that the volume
befere us is prefaced by a good modern map of London."
Herapath's Journal, December 9, 1813 —" Of the extraordinary
productions of the present day, probably this is the one most calcu-
lated to excite astonishment. If those ignorant of the mysteries
of typography are puzzled to think how it has been accomplished,
all accustomed to literary labour, and therefore able to appreciate
the difficulties of the task, must be infinitely more so. The various
classifications have been well considered. Of all the merits of this—
it may be fairly termed—National Directory, not the least is the ex-
treme clearness and simplicity of its arrangement; larger than the
largest ordinary work of the kind, it can throughout be consulted
with the same facility as a dictionary. This has been effected by
judicious sub-division.— appropriate headings—good indices—and
strict alphabetical arrangement. The book is divided, into twelve
subjects, each complete in itself, and yet all more or less connected
with each other. We will take the first :—An arrangement of
all the inhabitants of every street, square, court, and
place within the metropolis, and for some miles round,
from Clapham to Ball's-pond, and from Stratford to Not.
ting-bill. This list is, as, indeed, may be said of very
many others in the volume, unique. It gives the inhabitants of
every place, nobility and gentry, merchants and shopkeepers,
all at one view. This is a thing that, for obvious reaeons, no other
work has attempted A description of the locally is likewise fur.
nished, and as in each street those which intersect it are accurately
described, the entire, a, well as being a copious Directory, partakes
of the character of a general maps We have heard before of Ala
AV Adam, the colossus of roads; but this may be truly called the
colossus of streets. Had such a thing been in existence alter the
tire of London, a gene rat and available registry of property would
have been at hand, and, should It happen that a copy survive the
metropolis it so well describes, the future historian or statistician
might from its p .ges obtain an excellent idea of the wea'th, extent,
and magnificence of the greatest commercial city the world has yet
s en, and of the pursuits of its inhabitants. We observe that in the
Conveyance Directory several thousand new places have been intro-
euced, with all the newest railway information. The cost of the
production of such a book must have been enormous, and to repay
the energetic proprietors the sale must be very great irdeed. Of this
there can, however, be little doubt, as in any place of real business it
cannot he dispensed with without continued inconvenience."
Mining Journal, December 9, 1843 This Diiectory for the
forthcoming year, evidences the exercise of indefatigable research
in the procuration of an immense mass of valuable intern ation,
and of great talent in its classification and arrangement, so as to be
of the utmost use, and readily available. It presents a complete
Post-office vade mecum, and abounds in particulars of such univer-
sal importance as to become an indispensable requisite for the office
of the banker, merchant, or tradesman. The accuracy and perfect
arrangement of this work are deserving of the highest praise, and
the sale must indeed be considerable to compensate for the expense
and labour entailed on its production."
Spectator, December 9, 11F43.—" This immense volume still con-
tinues adding to its facts and information, though the addition of
new features seems to have stopped at present from the exhaustion
of subjects. To what extent additional minutia: are added, may be
guessed by upwards of t.OO pages more of large and closely-printed
matter being given in the present volume."
John Bull, Decsmber 23, 1843.—" Nothing less than a ' Monster
Review ' could do complete justice to this Monster Volume,' which
is indeed a remarkable monument of labour, industry, and accuracy.
Among an almost indefinite number of other useful things, it com-
prises a complete 'Official Directory,' 'Street Directory,' Com-
mercial Directory,' ' Trades Directory,' ' Lew Directory,' Court
Directory," Postal Directory," City Directory,' Conveyance
Dire story, Banking Directerv,'are. In short there is nothing con-
nected with this huge metropolis in the way of direction which will
not be found here. It is mentioned that 40,030 names appear in
this volume, which either have not been in print at all, or not at the
same addresses, while the Street Directory, which last year was
comprised in 366 pages, now occupies 438 pages. In the ' Postal
Directory, the latest regulations have been arranged in the part
headed' Universal Rates of Postage,' in a form at once comprehen-
sive and easy of reference."

It has been built and established at a very great cost, by a
ingle individual, for the convenience of the Commercial Com-
munity of the City of London, with a degree of public spirit
worthy the metropolis of the world.
The subscription is now placed on so moderate a scale as to
! e no object of consideration, in proportion to the conveniences
whichoffered, hieh are set forth in the above Prospectus ; and the
Board are of opinion, that without interfering with any of the
-xisting establishments appropriated to specific branches of
'rade, these conveniences may be found available by a very large
t,ody of persons in the City of London—by parties visiting
ondox occasionally on mercantile affairs—and by gentlemen
from the Continent and other foreign ports.

The Sentiiiel, December 31, 1843. We were surprised to see, be
an advertisement, that so old a livourite as Hobson's Directory'
was to he discontinued; but after an examination of the Post-office
Directory tOr 1844, we should be equally astonished if any book c f
the same class could be found successfully to compete with it, there
being upwards of 1,900 pages of imperial octavo, closely priated,
containing more than 100,000 names. Not only does its bulk give an
idea of the enormous increase of the metropolitan population, but the
many improvements in its arrangements are such as to impart the
most important facilities in the expeditious dispatch of business.
The discontinuance of the, practica of making class distinctions in the
Street Lists' will be found a great convenience. The information
given on the subject of the Post-office arrangements has been greatly
simplified, while the Map of London, which accompanies the work,
and which has been prepared expressly for it, extends to a radius in-
cluding the immense suburbs of the metropolis, with its most recent
improvements."
