This work is divided into three parts, corresponding with Ancient,
Middle, and Modern History, and again subdivided into centuries, so
that the various events are presented in the order of time ; while it
is so arranged that the annals of each country may be read conse-
cutively. To guide the researches of the Student, the work contains
numerous Synoptical Tables, with Sketches of Literature, Antiqui-
ties, and Manners at the great Chronological Epochs.
SPECTATOR.—" The Elements of Univeral History' is entitled to
great praise ; the writer has taken a firm grasp of his subject, he
exhibits a just .estimate of things, and separates, by typographical
divisions, the narrative of events from the commentary upon them."
ATHEN.£I:3I.—" This work has been compiled with care and skill."
SCOTSMAN.—" This is an able treatise, at once clear, correct, and
comprehensive."

TIMES, Dec. 4, 1844.

As far u utility is concerned no volume can exceed the elaims
r of the Directory to universal patronage. Though it is of great
bulk, it contains nothing that is superfluous, and is an exception to
the general rule, that a great book is a great evil. This is the
49th volume of the series. It contains several useful additions to
its immediate predecessor, more particularly in that portion called
the " Postal Directory," and, as compared with the first volume,
published nearly half a century ago, it shows an immense increase
of information, and raay be considered as an index of the history of
the vast increase of London, Westminster, and the suburbs. A
work of this kind, combining the most extensive and at the same
time the most accurate information of the residences, trades, pro-
fessions, &c., of 500,000 people, the names of hundreds of streets
stud squares, arranged with such clearness of order, and so corn.
preheasive as to direct the whole population where to find each
ether, and in what manner to carry on the intercourse by letters,
messengers, &c., is amongst the benefits which the progress of
printing has conferred of late years, and ought to be appreciated
in a way commensurate to its merits by the public. It affords a
check to imposture, a facility to intercourse, and a guide to useful
intelligence. In a word, the cost of this book can scarcely be better
laid out than In its purchase.

Moamtno CHRONICLE, Nov. 15, 1844.
We have just received a copy of the above work, the nature
and value of which must be well known to all our readers. A
very cursory examination of It clearly shows that there has been a
considerable Increase in all its various contents or departments,
and, as far as we have been able to teat it, it does not appear that
this increase has been made by any sacrifice of accuracy. Besides
all the departments which appeared in the former publications of
this work, we find that is the present volume there are several new
chapters.
All these appear to have been prepared with great care, and
furnish a valuable addition to the Directory, and this has been
done—notwithstanding the greatly.inereased size of the volume--
without any additional charge; as the proprietors state that they
rely upon an increased sale to compensate them for the additional
outlay.
We believe that this work, at the present time, has no com.
petitor, and certainly, considering the evident care with which it
has been prepared, and the high reputation which it s• deservedly
bears for accuracy, together with its cheapness, we do not think
that a competitor would have any chance of success, or—contrary
to the general rule—that the public would derive the slightest ad.
vantage from any such Competition.
MORNING POST, Nov. 18, 1844.
This work, by far the most valuable of the annual class, has
made its appearance at an earlier period of the year than usual.
Though in advance of time, the compilers and printers have bees
so active that all the alterations usually introduced or expected have
been effected. The " Parliamentary" and the " Official Directory"
bear evidence that the latest changes have been noted. The large
Map of London also, prefixed to the volume, has all the new
streets and recent improvements carefully marked; and in the
Railway Tables and "Conveyance Directory," the same attention
to correct the work to the latest possible date is apparent. very
village, as well as every town in England and Wales, having a
poat.office is duly stated, with the time of arrival and departure of
the London letters. No book of reference ef the kind could be
mere complete.
