POST-OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY for
for 1846 IS NOW PUBLISHING.
The following Reviews of the ;Work have already appeared;—
Timus, Dec. 4, 1844.
) As far as utility is concerned no volume can exceed the claims
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 may 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
and squares, arranged with such clearness of order, and so com-
prehensive as to direct the whole populaticn where to find each
other, and in what manlier 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 itsmerits 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.
MORNING CIIRONICLE, 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 test 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 in 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-increased 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 so 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.
Moasallo POST, Nov. 16, 1844.
This work, by far the most valuable of the annual class, has
made its appearance at au earlier period of the year than usual.
Though in advance of time, the compilers and printers have been
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. Every
village, as well as every town in England and Wales, having a
post-office is duly stated, with the time of arrival and departure of
the London letters. No book of reference of the kind could be
more complete.

MOHNING HERALD, NOV. 19, 1844.
The edition for 1845 of this very useful work has just been
issued. The usefulness of the volume, as well as the immense
labour that must have been expended in completing it, will be best
judged of from a brief enumeration of its contents. The fist
portion of the work comprises a list of the hotels and convenient
inns throughout England and Wales, with the names of the occu-
pants and the population according to the census of 1841. This,
which extends over seventeen pages of small but clear type, he
treble columns, is succeeded by the " Official Directory," which
commences with an alphabetical list of persons holding situa-
tions under the Crown, in the East India House, Bank of England,
and the various law, city, and all other public offices, and is followed
by the division of the above into their proper departments, where
the names of the offices are again given. This portion of the work
is very faithfully compiled, and extends over about fitly pages.
Next comes a list of the principal thoroughfares of the metropolis,
with a direction to the post.office nearest to each thoroughfare.
The more bulky portion of the work follows—the " Street Direc-
tory,'' and extends over nearly 500 pages. The " Commercial and
Professional Directory" succeeds, occupying also nearly 500 pages ;
then the " Trades Directory," of upwards of 450 pages ; the " Law
Directory'' of some 70 pages; the " Court Directory" of nearly
lOU pages ; a statistical account of the metropolis ; the " City Di.
" Conveyance Directory" of some 120 pages ; the
tDheirectory" of 140 pages; and the " Assurance three.
I:,eßctaonrky
Banking
tory" of some 40 pages.
The typographical character of the volume Is as commendable as
the fulness and faithfulness of the work itself.
MORNING ADVERTISER, Nov. 15, 1844.
This work, which has now stood the test of public opinion for
nearly half a century, has just appeared. The edition for the pre.
sent year having been all sold, it became necessary to supply the
void thus occasioned, and the result has been the production of the
work at this early period. Notwithstanding the rapidity with
which it has passed through the press, its general accuracy has been
carefully preserved. It is ready wonderful how so vast a mass
of matter can be compiled so accurately and so well. We have
looked through the pages of the " Directory" with the view of
ti its correctness, and we are bound to say, that in no one in.
stance could we find even the slightest ground to impugn its con-
summate fidelity.
