Now publishing , in 2 . C 00 pages , Imperial Octavo , price 36 s . THE POST OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY FOR 1856 . MOST gratifying Reviews of the huge volume 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 Directory , and much more , probably , than was ever found in one before . It may be safel y 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 win 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 . "—Morning 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 A eics , Dec 17 , 1855 . "The hugest and the most accurate of all our popular compilations . "— -Sun , Nov . 10 , 1855 . " 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 , 1855 . '' 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 , 1865 . "Even as ihere 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 Stale Gazette , Nov . 16 , 1855 . "The whole work exhibits a mass of accurate information . "— Atlas , 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 ?"—Hull ' s / WeeklyMessenger , Nov . 17 , 1855 . " If any one would really understand in what consists the strength of London , let him study this work . "—Britannia , Nov . 17 , 1855 . " The opponent of the production before us has 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 undiminibhed . "—Court Journal , Nov , 17 , 1855 . " This has become a work of national importance . It has been said we could not afford to lose our Times—the same observation applies to our ' Post OlHce Directory . '"—Hera , path ' s Journal , " Nov . 17 , 11-55 . " The proprietors of this work have now the field to themselves ; but that tliey have not relaxed in tlieir exertions on that account id fully evident from the completeness of the Directory for the coming year . "—Illustrated London Nctes , NOV . 17 , 1855 . " Still swelling its dimensions , as the ever increasing area of the vast metropolis increases . "— r » lm Hull , Nov . 17 , iBftfi . " A work of similar character , though by no means equal in correctness of arrangement mid detail , has , after an ephemeral existence , entailing enormous loss to its proectors , been at length abandoned . It appears to us beyond question that the sale of so exclusive and peculiar a work will never repay the expenso of preparing two such publications , which , jf accurate , must be counterparts of each other . " — Mining Journal , Nov . 17 , 1855 . " Extent , variety , and accuracy of information , so far ae wo have had occasion to teat it , is not the only feature of the ]) ook . "—S / inrliUor , Nov . 17 , 1855 . .., „ ,, , . " This wonderful volumo ia ft proof that the work of organisation and administration can bo performed by Englishmen with such admirable completeness as to amount to perfection itnelf . Kelly ' s Direotory' was always unrivalled . "—Era , NOV . 1 » , lHft !) . " It is certainly one of tho literary phenomena of tho nge "—Sun'tuijTimiM , Nov . 1 H , lH !> . » . It enjoys a deserved reputation never aohieved by any work of its clim . " — ll < i ) MyU'iM < tii , Nov . in , ltt&fi . " H is one of the marvels of the present nge . "~ O ' meirur , " J'heVo L" certainly no better guide to the contents of London than the Directory . "—JS'oiicitiiJiirmut , Nov . 'it , INJiS . " The rival Directory lias given up a battle in which victory wan isourccly to bo won . Hut what of tho future ol this wonderful book V As It lies on its side It utauds already flomotwo hauils high , aud to spread out the map Implies the covering ol an ordinary table . "—hraintm-r , Nov . ^ . i ,, l » s . i .
