Post-Office London Directory, 1870. Seventy-first annual publication. (London Kelly, Great
Queen Street, Lincoln's Inn Fields.)—This mighty and most indispensable volume swells yearly both in bulk and use. And, as usual, it is very late in its information, extraordinarily close up to time; for example, the late Lord Mayor appears everywhere under his new title as a baronet ; Mr. O'Donovan Roma has the M.P. after his name in the Parliamentary list, as M.P. for Tipperary,—(though here there is a slight blunder, as Rossa—which is, we believe, a mere popular nickname—figures as his real surname, which thus comes under the R's) ;—again, the eight new peers are all entered under their new titles, and Dr. Temple appears duly in the list of Bishops as Bishop of Exeter. We can hardly conceive how men of business could get on in London without this invaluable specific for the discovery of a needle in so mighty a bottle of hay.
