To the Inhabitants of the City of New-York.
GENTLEMEN,
MR. FRANKS returns his fincere thanks to his Friends and the Public, for their kind and liberal encouragement towards his publication of the New- York Directory; he humbly requefts they may indulgently excufe any errors, inaccuracies, or omiffions, which may ap- pear, and impute them only to the local difadvantages he laboured under, in this firft attempt; as he intends in the future
( 106 )
editions, he fhall have the honour of an- nually prefenting them, to have it more in his power to be exact, correct and cir- cumftantial; as the number of fubfcribers are but few (which he attributes to a want of knowledge of the utility of this pro- duction, it being the firft of the kind ever attempted in this city;) he makes bold to call on the citizens at large, for every in- formation, that they think will prove con- ducive to its future correctnefs. Their directions will be thankfully received and gratefully acknowledged by Mr. FRANKS, at his lodgings, No. 66, Broad-way, or at Mr. KOLLOCK's Printing-Office.
N. B. Mr. FRANKS has ready for Pub- lication, a TREATISE of BOOK-KEEP- ING, digefted for the inland and foreign Trade of America .---- This Work, which he hopes will prove very ufeful, he would willingly fubmit, previous to his putting it to Prefs, to the infpection of the Gen- tlemen of the Mercantile Line, and will confider himfelf much honoured if they favour him with their patronage, as he in- tends laying it before them at their refpec- tive refidences.
The NEW-YORK DIRECTORY, will, in future, be published every twentieth. day of May in each Year.

Mr. Franks having ferved a regular apprenticefhip to his father, a very eminent attorney in Dublin, and having, befides, transacted bufinefs, for fome years, for Counfellor Franklin of faid city, he hopes, will entitle him to the countenance of the Gentlemen of the Law Department in this metropolis; to merit whofe efteem and approbation, will be his particular ftudy, --- he will thankfully receive bufinefs from them on the moft reafonable terms.
N. B. To prevent complaints, generally arifing from employing unexperienced Clerks, Mr. Franks has lately engaged a young man from Dublin, of unexception- able abilities.
