NEW-YORK, JULY 29, 1839.
To his Patrons, those who purchase the work, the Editor of the New-York Directory tenders his sincere thanks.
In the publication of the work, no one can be more deeply concerned and interested than the Editor ; and to those who con- descend to give any serious considerations to the subject, it can- not be necessary to make any declarations of his anxious desire to execute his annual task in a manner perfectly satisfactory to the public : and to this he is prompted by considerations of his own convenience, by his pride and, perhaps, his interest ; these impel him to exert himself to the utmost ; he thinks, that the diligence with which he has laboured in his vocation could scarcely be exceeded. Perhaps the Book might have been pub- lished some four or five days earlier, were there no obstacles in a Printing-office,-but the difficulties in the business, propheti- cally denominated the " Black Art," are beyond his control.
But few people are aware that the entire volume, each year, is the work of renewed labour ; that each line is the result of actual new collection, of new compilation, and of renewed charges.
The entire compilation of the work is performed by the Editor himself, the present constituting the thirty-third volume of his labours.
The number of names in the present volume does not offer comparative data for an estimate of the probable increase of population in the city ; though it contains some thirty-nine thou- sand names,-yet, had the canvas been made with the same de- gree of minuteness as was formerly exercised, especially in the suburbs, the number would probably far exceed forty thousand.
The compilation and execution of the work some ten years ago. was then arduous and difficult ; but, ajail apresent magnitude, it has become a laborious task, -vexatices in its operations, unsatis- factory in its results ; if the present edition, consisting of some
752
two or three and twenty hundred copies, cannot be entirely dis- posed of in this great commercial metropolis, this city of theatres and of charitable societies, it cannot be expected that the pub- lisher will have much appetite for a return of his task, without a more determined regard for his own welfare and interest in the matter.
