Now publishing , in 2 , eoo pages , Imperial Octavo , price 36 s . THE POST OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY FOR 1856 . " V / TOST gratifying Reviews of the huge volume -LT _ L have appeared in all the leading Metropolitan Journals , of which only very short extracts can be here quoted . ' " In short , this work contains all that can reasonably be required in a Directtry , and much more , probably , than -was ever found in one before . It may be safely referred to for information upon everything connected with the metropolis and the elements which constitute its wealth and importance . " —Times , December 8 , 1855 . "It is indeed a triumph of energy , enterprise , and combined talents of many orders , to which , upon reflection , everyone will be ready to assign the merit it deserves . "Morning Advertiser , Nov . 12 , 1855 . " There has been competition , but it has passed away ; for it has been too carefully and sedulously edited , too prompt in its intelligence , too simple in its plan , and too judicious in its classifications , to admit of successful rivalry . " —Morning Herald , November 12 , 1855 . " An indispensable necessity , not only in the countinghouses of the mercantile part of the community , but also in the halls of the great and fashionable . "—Morn-ins Chronicle , Nov . 16 , 1855 . " The absence of competition does not appear to have led the publishers to bestow less care upon the preparation of the work . " —Morning Post , Nov . 30 , 1855 . "In a metropolis so vast as London a correct guide is invaluable , and this book , dealing not only with the commercial classes , but with all the residents in London , supplies a daily need . " —Daily JVeics , Dec . 17 , 1 SO 5 . " The hugest and the most accurate of all our popular compilations . " —San , Nov . 10 , 185 a . " The extent and quality of the information contained in the volume has , as far as we know , never been equalled in a publication of the kind . "—Globe , Nov . 15 , J 855 . "This annual wonder has just appeared , and , on the present occasion , it has appeared without a rival , having in this year driven every competitor from the field . Even they who , like ourselves , dislike monopoly , acknowledge the justice of monopoly fairly won by decided excellence . "Standard , Nov . 16 , 1855 . " Its fame is too well established , its pretensions to be what it professes too thoroughly justified , and its comprehensiveness too immense , to admit of any other consequence than disastrous loss to the speculator who would blindly hope to supplant it . " —Shipping Gazette , Nov . 23 , 1855 . "Even as there is no city in the world which can compare with the metropolis as the abode of aristocracy and commerce , so it is equally beyond dispute that there is but one 'Directory . '"—Church and State Gazette , Nov . 16 , 1855 . "The whole work exhibits a mass of accurate information . "— Alias , Nov . 17 , 1855 . " There is an old joke about the man who sat down patiently to read through a dictionary , and complained of the variety of its subjects . What would he have said to the ' Post Office Directory of 185 G , ' with its pregnant line about everybody ?"—Hell's Weekly Messenger , Nov . 17 , 1855 . "If any one would really understand in what consists the strength of London , let him study this work . "—Britannia , Nov . 17 , 183 & . "The opponent of the production before us lius ceased to exist , it appearing that , even after the collection of the information for next year , and the work being in type , the sale would be insufficient to repay the mere expense of printing . The 'Post Office Directory * is now alone in the field , but we are glad to see that the exertions of the proprietors are undiminished . "—Court Journal , Nov , 17 , 1855 . " This has become a work of national importance . It has been said we could not afford to lo .-e our Times—the same observation applies to our ' I ' ost Ollice Directory . " " —Hera , path ' s Journal , NOV . 17 , U 55 . " The proprietors of this work have now the field to themselves ; but that they have not relaxed in their exertions on that account is fully evident from the completeness of the Directory for the coming year . " — -Illustrated London A ' eu-s , Nov . 17 , 1855 . " Still swelling its dimensions , as the ever increasing area of the vast metropolis increases . "— lohn Jiult , Nov . 17 , 1855 . " A work of similar character , though by no means equal in correctness of arrangement nnd detail , lias , after an ephemeral existence , entailing enormous loss to its projectors , been at length abandoned . It appeals to us beyond question that the sale of so exclusive and peculiar a work will never repay the expense of preparing two such publications , which , if accurate , must be counterparts oi each other . " —Mining Journal , JSov . 17 , 1855 . " Extent , variety , and accuracy of information , so tar as we have had occusion to test it . is not the only feature of the book . " — Spectator , Nov . 17 , 1850 . " This wonderful volume is a proof that the work of organisation and administration can be performed by Englishmen with such udiinruUlo completeness as to amount to perfection itself . Kelly ' s Directory' was always unrivalled . "— lira , Nov . 18 . 18 ftG . " It in certainly one of thfi literary phenomena of the flge " —Sunday Times , Nov . Irt , 1 H 05 . 1 It enjoys u deserved reputation never achieved by any work of its ) class . "—//'<¦ / . •/ // Time * , Nov . 1 H , l « 5 r > . " It is ono of the marvels of the present a « o . " --Oiin' / Tw , "There id ' cortitinly no bettor guide to the contouts of London tlinn the Directory . "—Xoiicoiijhnue *! , Nov . 21 , lHM . "The rival Directory liaa given up h btj ttlc in which victory was scarcely to bo won . But whut ol , tho future ot this wonderful book V As it lion on itrt « ido it Mtaixls already HOinctwo Imndri high , and to wpread out tlio map imiil ea the covering of an ordinary table .
