THE '^TIME3." 



"The fact that this work, originally known as the 'Directory of Bengal,' has now 

 reached its 24th annual issue, is sufticient to recommend it to all those who are brought into 

 contact, in a military, civil, or commercial !-ense, with the civilization and intelligence of our 

 Eastern dependencies. No longer confined to the narrow limits of Bengal, Messrs. Thacker 

 furnish us with complete and detailed information respecting, not only Calcutta, but also the 

 citizens of Bombay and Madras. The parts which relate to the yearly almanac, public 

 holidays, stamps, telegraphs, and customs are pretty much one and the same ; but in most 

 other matters we have before us separate and distinct information as to the various depart- 

 ments of Government and the arrangements of commerce, education, charitable societies and 

 hospitals, clubs, railways, and companies. 1 here is also a separate Army list, we note, for 

 each of the three Presidencies. The alphabetical list of residents, comprising as it does a 

 full record of all those of our countrymen who have taken up their permanent abodes in any 

 of the Indian Presidencies, will be found of the greatest use to those in England who have 

 lost all clue to their relatives and friends in the far East and wish to discover their where- 

 abouts."— Aug. 28, 1886. 



THE CALCUTTA ^' ENQLI^HMyVN." 



" Before everj'thing, the volume before us is in reality what it professes to be — a 

 Directory for India. Besides an enormous mass of information of the purely Directory 

 kind, which must have taken a world of labour to collect and collate, the volume comprises 

 complete Army Lists for Bengal, Madras, and ;Bombay, including the Volunteers ; lists of 

 officers in the various Government Departments ; lists of the Tea, Indigo, Coffee, and other 

 estates in the country ; and much valuable information regarding the Telegraphs, Postal 

 Rules, Law Courts, Charities, and a host of other subjects. Nothing more strikingly repre- 

 sents the change that has come over India in recent years than this great Directory." 



THE ''jVIANCHE^TER QUAI^DIAJH." 



"The Directory now includes every distrirt and principal town in British and Foreign 

 India, every Native State, and in fact aims at being a directory to the whole of India. It 

 contains separate c'assified and street directories of each of the cities of Calcutta, Bombay, 

 and Madras, a remarkably comprelien>ive and detailed Mofussil Directory, and a va^t 

 amount of general information relating to India, its Government, commerce, postal arrange- 

 ments, festivals, and official estabhshments. . . . The expansion of the work will be 

 welcomed as a response to the growing requirements of commerce with India."
