JAMES MOULTON, Printer, 161 Broadway.

TO THE PUBLIC.

THE Publisher thankfully acknowledges his obligations to the business commu- nity of this City, for the liberal encouragement which they have given him, notwith- standing the unscrupulous efforts made to deprive him of their support.

Experience having proved that no BUSINESS DIRECTORY of a RELIABLE CHARAC- TER, could be compiled from information obtained previous to the 1st of May, the pub- lisher has decided to issue that work as a supplement to the general Directory FREE OF CHARGE to his subscribers and purchasers, thus ensuring to the public a most valuable addition to the usual work.

It is impossible to avoid some errors in a work of this kind ; however, the ut- most care has been taken to ensure a complete accuracy, and the publisher trusts that any errors which may remain, will be found very inconsiderable in comparison with the increased volume of the New-York Directory.

Very Respectfully, CHARLES R. RODE,
