1 The present number of the TROY DIRECTORY has been com. piled with great care and the best aids the publi-her could procure. But in a work of this kind, it is almost impossible that many errors should not occur. Agents, who are employed to collect information. may be hasty, and not sufficiently precise in their inquiries. Persons of whom information is sought may be indefinite in communicating it. The residences of persons without families, it is not always easy to as- certain. In many cases the compilers are obliged to rely on imperfect sources of information. These, and other causes, render it exceeding- ly Milieult to prepure a Directory, even for a city so comparatively small as this, that shall be perfectly accurate. Some errors in this have been already discovered, but too late to be corrected ; and doubtless there are more that have not been noticed. It is hoped, however, that inaccuracies are not very numerous or important, and that it will be found sufficiently complete and correct for all the purposes which make it useful.
