Thousands of his fellow-citizens, a great number possessing ample fortunes, daily resort to the use of a borrowed Directory ; escaping the purchase of the book by the most paltry subter- fuges, and enduring a pitiful dependence upon the charity of the publisher ;- his "position" is singular, the rich and the poor being the eleemosynary recipients of his beneficence throughout the year :- but it is a benificence for which he covets no com- mendation, inasmuch as it is accorded greatly against his will : a revelation of facts, upon this subject, would be personally of- fensive in proportion to the truth ; he therefore abstains from any disclosures.
The numbering of the houses in Avenue 3d has been changed since the printing of the work.
The number of new names contained in the present, and not found in the preceding volume, is about nine thousand five hun- dred-the number of removals and alterations considerably ex- ceeds eleven thousand ; and the entire number of names in the book is about thirty-eight thousand eight hundred, being about one thousand seven hundred more than was contained in the volume of last year.
It is characteristic of the present day that every man, however uninformed he may be, arrogates the right to form and express a dogmatic opinion upon all subjects ; it is. therefore no way sur- prising that so much error prevails in relation to this book and the facts connected with its publication. If not presumptuous the Editor would venture to express his opinion sincerely enter-
, tained, that no book published in the United States is in fact so cheap, that none so richly merits the price charged, as the New- York City Directory. For the sake of his patrons he anxiously hopes that the present volume will prove sufficiently accurate to secure to him not only their continued support, but also their kind approbation.
