The Post Office London Directory. (Kelly's Directories. 40s.) — This "elegant

We would call attention again, as we have more than once before, to the admirable map of London which is given with the Directory. It is as good as a picture.—The Clergy Directory. (j. S. Phillips. 4s. 6d.)—This volume, well arranged and clearly printed, is for its size and price as good a thing in its line as could be found.
