No Directory was published in Philadelphia before the year 1785 ; the Houses were not numbered until 1790. Clement Biddle, who was then United States Marshall, is believed to have given numbers to the houses at the time he was taking the Census, and while thus engaged collected the names for a Directory, which was published in 1791. Two Directories were published in each of the following years-1785, 1811, 1817 and 1837.
