Sun, November 25, 1841.
We have great pleasure in noticing this useful work, of which
we have received an early copy. It exceeds the size of the
Directory of last year, and probably is the most complete and
correct town-guide yet published. The following outline of
the contents will enable the reader to form some idea of the
vast undertaking. It contains an Official Directory, with the
names alphabetically arranged, of all civil officers under Go-
vernment, in the Bank of England, East India House, and all
other public establishments. .1 Street Directory, which in-
clus!es gentry as well as traders ; and subjoined to this, arc two
others, giving the names at full length, of sixty thousand per.
sons engaged in commerce, and lists of two thousand trades
established in the metropolis, with the tradesmen attached to
each, and the subdivisions of -every trade accurately defined.
There are separate Directories also ;or the Court ; the Par-
liament, with the most recent addresses of the Members of
both (louses; the Law, with a list of all officers from the
Lord Chancellor down to the usher of the most inferior Court :

and the City of London, with the names and saddresses of all

the names of twenty-five thousand persons not engaged in
trade, and takes a wider range than any other work of the
kind. The information respecting the Post-office will be
found eminently useful to persons of every description ; and
among ether additions made to it for this year is one of great
importance, shswing the time at which a 1 tter from London
should be delivered at any place hi England or Wales, and
the time at which the letter-box for London, closes in each
plaice. The facilities afforded by the Postmastet-Grneral give
the compilers advantages which could not otherwise be obtained
The information is furnished from the PoSt-offiee gratuitously,
it is of the latest possible date, and has been all collected or
confirmed within the last two months. We have had little
time yet to test its accuracy, but have no doubt that it fully
maintains, in that respect, the high character of that published
fur the year 1841 The wort is beautifully printed, sold at a
moderate price, and will be !mind of great service to persons in
every rank
of life
Weekly
Dispatch, Nov. 28, 1841.
We have been favoured with a sight of this elaborate work ;
and we must pronounce it vastly superior to the previous vol-
umes. The contents are admirably arranged. These is a
distinct alphabetical li t of the names, in number, of all civil
officers under Government, in the Bank of England, East India
House, and all other public establishments; an alphabetical list
of streets in the metropolis and its vicinity, with the inhabit-
ants according to their numerical order in each street; the only
Street Directory yet published which includes gentry as well as
traders. There is also a list of all officers, from die Lord Chan-
cellor down to the Usher of the most inferior Court ; Police
Courts, with their officers and jurisdictions; alphabetical lists of
Queen's Serjeants, Queen's Counsel, Serjeants at law, Benchers,
Ha' ri,ters, Special Pleaders, Conveyancers, Proctors, Attorneys,
Notaries, &c. TLe names of all persons in the metropolis and ,
its immediate vicinity not engaged in trade, are given with. the
most accurate lists yet published of the New Parliament, and
die most recent addresses of the Members of both Houses.
There are, besides, the name and addresses of City Officers and
Common Councilmen ; City Companies and their clerks; lists
of sworn brokers ; Lieutenancy of the City, &c A list is
given of all the principal places in England,' Ireland, and Scot-
and distinguishing those which grant and pay money-orders,
land, referring to the money-order office nearest to those which
do not ; and an alphabetical list of the streets of London, with a
reference from each to the nearest receiving-house which grants
and pays money-orders. This will afford the opportudity in'
all cases, in town and country, of applying to the nearest office
for a money-order, arid of obtaining it upon the office moat:
contiguous to the residence of the party in whose favour
it is drawn. Another important introduction this year:
shows the time at which a letter from London should
be delivered at any place in England or Wales, and the
time at which the letter-box for London closes in each place ;
thus affording the opportunity of calculatinr, in ,all cases
the " return of post." independent of all this information,
we have copious accounts of all conveyances by railways,'
stage-coaches, waggons, carts, vans, vessels, barges and boats ;•
with complete accounts of all the bankers, joint-stock-banks,
and banking establishments' of the United Kingdom ; the
names of the Directors and officers of the various Assurance'
Companies, with the rates of Assurance, &c., are also furnished
in ample detail. One great feature in this work is, that it
directs an individual to the position of any number in the
street, by noting the intersection of churches, courts, streets,
lines, alleys, &c., between one house and another. It often
happens that a person may forget the name of the tradesman
he wants, although he knows the street. The Street Directory
in this took helps him out of this difficulty by giving the
names of the inhabitants of each house of No. 1 upwards.

sit _E;;:,T INDIAN MAILS.—The Royal' 3lai.
Steam Packet Company's Ship CLYDE, Lieutenant
'WOODRUFF, R.N., Commander, is appointed to take out tin
Mai!s of the Ist of June. The Clyde will leave Southampton on
that day, at One, v. at., and will proceed direct to Falmouth.
where she will receive the Mails on the 3d of June, and depart
immediately on her voyage for Barbadces, calling to land and
embark Passengers at Corunna and Madeira. The line of
communication for both mails and pasiengers extends to all ports
of the British and Foreign West Indies, Havanna'', Gult of
Mexico, &c., and is connected with the Company's steamers.
which run twice every month, forwards and backwards, be-
t vieen Havannah, by Nassau, to Savannah, Charleston, Ncw
York, and Halifax respectively, and also includes the coast o'
South America and isthmus of Panama. All the Company's
,packets carry a surgeon approved by Government. Each pas-
senger has a separate cabin ; bedding and linen are provided,
and the passage-money and steward's fee cover every expense,
except wines, spirits, &c., which are to be paid for.
Berths may be secured at the Company's Offices, 55, Moor-
gate-street, London.
N.B. All letters conveyed by these packets must pass through
the Post-office.

Sunday Times, December 5;1841.
This useful work is just published ; it is, in short, a Corn-
mercial,Trades, Law, Court, Parliamentary,City,Postage,Con4
vey ance, Banking, and an. Official Directory. It contains an
almanack, list of stamp duties, Post-office rules, and, in fact;
a body of intelligence top great for detail. Respecting the
accuracy of such a work, it is, of course, impossible to speak;
the roost inveterate Alagliabechi that ever gulped quartos, or
hOlted folios, would scarcely undertake the peAnsal of a Direc-
tory. It is not saying too much to declare that the Post-office
Directory is a work unexampled even in this country. Toap-
proximate closely to the communication of the names, resi-
dences, and trades of the inhabitants of London,a task irorri
which a literary Hercules might flinch.
Railway Magazine, December 4, 1841.
Judging from the great superiority of the last edition of this
work over its competitors, we did not anticipate the improve-
ments which have been effected in the present, which not only
place this Directory at the bead of the list, but must drive:the
others out of the field. An entirely new division has been
introduced, viz., the " Official Directory," which furnishes
the lull names and positions of all persons holding public
situations under Government, the East India Company, the
Bank, &c. "The scope of that important branch, the" Street
Directory," has been very considerably extended ; and thou-
sands are now included, who reside without the narrow limits
beyond which our books of reference have not before passed :
here we have a register of all, whether dwelling in Barns-
bury Park, Basinghall-street. or Belgrave-square, in King'S-
road, Chesea, or in Kingsland ; and one of the great advan-
tages peculiar .to this publication is, that all inhabitants are
inserted in their numerical order. We know of no other
street list in which either all the gentry, or all the mer-
chants, traders, and tradesmen, are not —incredible as the
fact may appear—entirely omitted. We may mention that it
gives the names of the Directors of most of the Railway and
Insurance Companies, and a complete List of Officers of Joint-
Stock Companies. The " Parliamentary Directory" is co-
pious ; in it the offices held by every Peer and Commoner are
accurately detailed,. even to the recent appointment of Lord
Ellenborough as. Governor.-General of India, and of his sue-
eessor at the India Board, Lord Fitzgerald. The " Postage
Directory" furnishes much original and highly valuable in-
formation in reference to Money Orders; and to the preciie
time of the deliveries of letters throughout the country. A
volume so valuable as this will be generally appreciated. It
does honour to the establishment which can put forth so vast
an amount of .authentic information of character so diversified,
and it reflects credit on those who have so arranged it that the
work is eqnally a model of compilation and of typography. We
cannot but think that a title more appropriate than merely
" Post-office London Directory ' might. be chosen. The work
surely merits a name that would convey a definite idea of in-
formation so vast and varied, uniting as it does, in one volume,
Directory, Court Guide, and Court -Kalendar, and superseding
the whole class of similar publications.
Globe, December 1, 1841.
This useful " Annual " comprises, among other information,
an Official Street, Commercial, Trades, Law, Court, Parlia-
mentary, City, Postage, Conveyance, and Banking Directories.
It is only necessary to announce the publication itself, and to
add that, arranged as it has been with care and attention,
aided by sources of official information peculiar to itself, it may
be taken as a safe guide in the various matters upon which it
professes to enlighten the public.

THE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER.
CATALOGUE, with ENGRAVINGS (Gratis),
POSTAGE FREE.—The celebrity of the rich and silvery
appearance and extreme durability of the material made ex-
clusively by ourselves, has induced many attempts to foist
upon the public the notoriously deleterious German Silver
under the guises of " Albata Plate," " Berlin Silver," &c•
&c., against which we especially warn them. Aided by an
eminent chemist, we have succeeded in purifying our material
so that acids do not afiect it ; it is now so well known • and
appreciated that it is universally superseding silver in all its
uses. The genuine metal, which is more durable than silver,
can only be had at our warehouses. It is the same through-
out, and can be engraved and made in all the various articles
that are in silver, from which it can only he told by reference

Times, December 3, 1841.
This useful matter-ol`-fact volume has Just been published by
Messrs. Kelly and Co., of Old Boswell-court, Temple-bar,
and will no doubt be, as it ought to be, in the hands of
every merchant, hanker, and tradesman in the country. It
is, independently of its utility, by which it is rendered indis.
pensable to every counting-house anti shop, a curious star
tistical monument of the extent, importance, trade, and
wealth of the metropolis, and as such a document deserving
the attention even of persons who are not immediately in-
terested in commercial and business pursuits. The present
volume for 1842 contains some important new matter, with
which the preceding volumes were not furnished—it has an im-
portant addition,• "'the official Directory," an alphabetical
list of all persons holding situations ureter the Crown, of all
persona hording situations in the East India House, in the
Bank of England, and in the various law, city offices, and all
other public offices. This addition is of itself enough to show
the great pains taken by the Proprietors to render the book
perfect. There is also some useful information given relative
to the " Money Order-office," to which, if the public would
pay more attention than they have hitherto done, less would
be heard of the loss of money by the transmission of remittances
by post in the manner usually adopted. The number of stamps
issued to the various newspapers published throughout England
and %: ales is given, together with the amount of stamp duties
on advertif.coients paid by each paper respectively. and, indeed,
a mass of itifortmd Mil is brought together from which the best
informed may derive sonic increase of knowledge, and to
Which the attention of the most ignorant and careless can
hardly be called in vain. As far as the cursory examination
can Justify an opinion, and it is next to impossible to pay to
such a work as this the minute attention it deserves, it appears
to be compiled with indefatigable industry, extreme vigilance,
and an excellent jcdgment for arrangement.
Morning Post, December 29, 1841.
The charge, whether hue or fa' se, brought against the " An-
nuals," that, however pretty they may be; they are of little or
no use, cannot in any degree apply to this singular publication.
Within the singkvolume, neatly brought out by Messrs. Kelly
and Co., of Old Boswell-court, e mp le - bar , is comprised all
the information that can be useful to the fashionable, legal, or
commercial communities " It includes a " Court Directory,"
which alone contains about five-and-twenty thousand names ;
a " Law Directory" of the most ample description, giving.
among other details, no fewer than sixteen large pages of a
" General List of Stamps ;" an " Official Directory," with an
index of six thousand persons holding. situations under the
Crown, in the Batik, the East India House, and other public
departments ; the " Commercial Directory," perhat s the ful-
lest and most complete that has ever yet appeared, and a variety
of miscellaneous matter which it is impossible to particularise
here. In short, from our own observation, we can safely pro-
nounce this work a " sine qua non" to everybody who desires to
become acquainted with the great metropolitan world of London.
Morning Chronicle, Dec. 21, 1841.
We have had occasion to commend the extraordinary diligence
and accuracy shown in getting up the " Post-office Directory"
for former years, and no less praise is duo to the publication of
the present volume. It contains the same immense mass of
information ielative to the metropolis, which renders the work
one of the most astonishing monuments of the greatness of
Loudon that can well be conceived. This information appears
classified, distributed, and arranged in a variety of ways so as
to make the facility of reference nearly perfect. The
corrections necessary from the changes of a year appear,
as fir as it is possible to judge, to have been carefully made,
and it would be difficult to over-estimate the labour involved
in such corrections. We recommend it'to the favourable con-
sideration of the public ; and, in fact, it must be regarded as
dispensable in every house;, or office, where business is trans•
acted. To those, if there be any, who have not seen it, it will
convey the best notion of the variety of its contents to say, that
the single volume of 1,500 pages contains a Streets' Directory
__Trades' Directory—Law Directory—City—Parliamentary—
Courts—Postage—Banking—and Official and Conveyance
Directories—each a large work, and complete in itself, though
the whole are requisite to a publication which professes to be a
Director) for London.
Morning Herald. Nov, 30, 1841.
This is a most complete and extremely useful work. It em-
braces every point of interest in and near the metropolis that
can affect the wants of the community at large, and is service-
able to all classes of society. Under one general head it con-
tains a series of Directories, in wh c 1 are enumerated all the
Trades, Streets, Names, Official Designations,Parliamentary,

is found to exist in that ioul state of the Stomach and Bo.rets which

The performance for the second day contrasted un-
favourably with the excellent bill 'of fare provided for
Tuesday ; it contained the same number of events, but
no two yrs old or handicap race ; nothing, in filet, that
made the most distant approach to them, or that was
calculated to attract either sporting-men or " the million."
IVe understand that a new stake of considerable interest
is made for next year, and that the most important oventg
will be run so as to place the two days on a par ; and
that the progress of the subscriptions to the Gorhatnbury

The old proverb says it is good to let well alone ; but we
see no possible reason why well should be left to stand still, se
long as better is cleat ly attainable; and such appears to be tbe
opinion of the enterprising proprietors of the " Post-office Lon-
don Directory." The present edition is superior in many re-
spects, to any of its predecessors. On its first appearance, it
was a neat and correct rocket volume—nothing more ; but
it has gone on improving and augmenting from year to
yerr, till, by the mere force of its manifest superiority,
it has fairly beaten every competitor out of the field, arid
become, from the variety, copiousness, and accuracy ii,f
its information, an indispensable requisite to every count..
ing-house and shop in the metropolis and its suburbs. It
would be quite impossible, in a brief notice, to give anything
Trades' reference
like an adequate idea of the contents of a closely-printed
royal octavo volume, running to upwards of 1,500 pages. It
can only be -justly described' as a series of Directories, each

its intelligence ; and, if we keep in mind the enterprise neces-
sary for the conception of such a work, the iminense care ke-
quired in its preparatien, the enormous capital required to
produce it, and, considering its bulk and variety, the snr-
prisingly low price at which it is issued, •: u

John Bull,
November ..t, 1841.
Again we have to bestow our praise on the completeness and
cheapness of the multifarious information comprised in the
Post office London Directory," which comprehends within
one moderately-sized volume, of clear and easy reference, a
Commercial, Trades', Law, Court, and Parliamentary Direc-
tory. It is at once the fullest volume of the kimi, the most ex-
act, has the most recent intelligence—the information it em-
bodies having been collected within the last seventy days from
official sources, and through agents possessing the requisite lo-
cal knowledge; and is altogether the completest guide-book to
the metropolis that has hitherto appeared.
• Spectator,. Dec. 4, 1841.
This extensive work still continues to grow. Besides a revi-
sion and extension of the other branches, the Official Directory
has now been increased so as to form a division of itself. This
part, like the other sections of the subject, is subdivided , one
part containing a list of Government and other public offices,
under which the names and employments of the persons. are
arranged • the other presents an
alphabetical list of person
holding Offices under the Crown, in the East India House
Bank of England, &c. And such a muster roll!—an army,
nay, a population, of place-holders !
