tion, &c., as to the streets, houses, and places of
business comprised within the irregular rectangle, extending from the western bound- aries of Kensington and Chelsea in the west, to Bow, Blackheath, and Cubitt Town in the east, being a distance' of about nine and a half miles ; and from Highbury and Holloway in the north, to Ken- nington, Walworth, and Deptford in the south, being a distance of about six miles. For information as to places situated beyond these limits, reference should be made to the "London Suburban Directory," which extends from the limits of the London Directory to the ex- tremity of a circle with a radius of about twelve miles from the General Post Office. Many improvements have been made in the classifications, Sze,., and the binding is all that could be desired for a work of this kind. We learn from the preface that notwith- standing the depression of trade, 155 new trades have sprung up in the metropolis during the year 1878, "bronchitis-kettle manufac- turers" and " frostLdefying liquid manufacturers" being amongst the number. As an earnest of the desire of the Messrs. Kelly to meet the special requirements of particular individuals or firms, we note that the portions devoted to commerce, trades, streets, courts, bank- ing, and conveyance can be had separately, at what we consider exceedingly moderate prices.
