The Post - Office London Directory for 1890. The ninety - first annual publication.

(Kelly and Co.) —Ono substantial proof of the growth in bulk, and consequently completeness in contents of this Directory, is the fact that the present volume contains 142 more pages than its predecessor. The appointments to the London County Council are corrected up to December 4th, and changes in the constitution of the London School Board noted up to December 6th. The area with which it now deals extends to about nine and a half miles from east to west, and to about six miles from north to south. A list of 169 "new trades " are added ; and a careful search-test of its contents proves it to be as perfect as it would seem possible for such a compilation to be.
