b The Directory was a 24mo until 1858 when the size was enlarged to a 12mo, and the matter printed in double columns. In 1866 the book was enlarged to octavo, and the matter again put in single columns, but of a much larger type. In 1872 the size was changed to large octavo, and the matter put in small type in double columns. Until 1866, it was bound in stiff paper covers, a few copies only at an extra price be- ing bound in boards.
c From this date deaths and removals were given, the number this year being 786, leaving a net increase of 2.
d Size of page enlarged.
A Street Directory of Inhabitants, to accompany a Map of the village of Worcester, was issued in 1829, by the late Clarendon Harris, and a Business Directory in 1842 by A. W. Congdon.
