General Post Office, Feb. 19,1310. T H E POST OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY FOR 1840, May now be had completed to the present time. It is the only Work containing the Post Office Regulations with reference to the Uniform Penny Postage, and the most recent Parliamentary information. It is p if t y геп слях c h e a p e r , and will be found infinitely more correct, than any other similar u-ork. MUCH MISREPRESENTATION hae been made with reference to the “ Post Office Directory.” The improvements introduced Into the later Editions have caused an immense increase m the circulation, and its success has probably instigated the statements so industriously propagated. The mode of disparagement adopted precluded the possibility óf sucii being any longer quietly submitted to. The Public are therefore thus acquainted with the true value o f Robson’s (the only other Landon A nitual) Directory, and to prevent the possibility o f its being charged that any selection 1ms been used, an Analytical Review has been made and jmblished, o f consecutive names taken equally from the commencement and conclusion of ‘ R obson’s Co m m e r c ia l D irectory' por 18W.’ It will be found at page 91 o f this Supplement. That Review has now been in the possession of the Proprietors of Robson’s Directory for several weeks, and in their communications on the subject it s т п е т п has not been disputed. While that remains unquestioned little value will be attached to calumnies circulated schere they cannot be met, and by persons interested in detaching Purchasers from the Post Office Directory.
