I Street's Indian and Colonial Mercantile Directory. (G. Street.)— This
Directory has been immensely improved, and is now of great value to every one engaged in Asiatic or Colonial trade, and every one who has to correspond with a business man in India or any colony, or South America, Japan, Brazil, or Constantinople. It gives a full account of trade returns, tariffs, modes of communication, banks,. Government officers, and merchants and tradesmen, and supplies within its range exactly that kind of information which everybody wants occasionally, and nobody can find without endless trouble. The editors have taken great pains to verify their statements, and we can suggest only one obvious improvement. Is it impossible to colour the edging as Messrs. Kelly do, so that the buyer may turn at once, without consulting oven the indexes, which are, however, very complete, to the spot he wants to know about ? The Directory, we may add, though that is no recommendation, is the only directory we ever saw printed in good-sized type throughout.
