    By Thacker, Spink, & Company, who begun publishing their directory in 1864. Under different names, such as 'Thacker's Indian Directory', they continued in publication until 1960.

    Seventy-eight pages of adverts to the rear, in addition to five to the front.

    Condition

    Rebound in a modern cloth binding, with renewed endpapers. Externally, smart. Spine is faded. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean.
