T HERE is no publication in large and populous cities of more general utility than a DIRECTORY.
The conftant acceffion of new inhabitants, `together with the frequent removals, are two obvious reafons in fupport of the neceffity of publifhing one annually.
The Editor, influenced by thefe circum- Rances, has publifhed the prefent, and intends prèfenting the citizens with one every year ; not doubting to meet encouragement to keep on foot fo defirable a collection of ufeful in- formation.
Annexed to the Directory follows a lift of the duties payable on goods ; with every in- formation refpecting the Custom-houfe; intereft- ing to merchants and others concerned in mer- cantile tranfactions.
.

An account of public inftitutions, national and political Societies, &c. with the prefent officers names, a defcription of the city; and the places of refidence of the members of Congrefs while in town.
Since the firft collection of the names, fe- veral have come to this city, and fome are ac- cidentally omitted, they will be found in the Supplement preceding the work.
The Subfcriber is well aware, that in a pub- lication of this nature, it is almoft impoffible, entirely to avoid errors. For thefe, which ne hopes are few, he folicits the indulgence of the Public.

Some of the Streets are now known, by names diferent from thofe generally intended.
THE numbers in the ftreets lying North and South, begin at the feveral corners of High Street, with Num- ber I on the Eaft and No. 2 on the Weft fides. High Street is confidered as the common line of divifion, and the part of thefe ftreets lying North of it, has the addition of North to its name, and thofe lying South, the addition of South, the numbers proceed in each ftreet from No. I on the Eaft corner and No. 2 on the Weft corner, in excefs of two Northward and South- ward from High ftreet, having all the odd numbers on the Eaft and all the even numbers on the Weft fides.
Thus, if a ftranger wifhes to find No. 60, South Second Street, * he will know from the even number, that it is on the Weft fide, from the word South, that it is South- ward from High Street, from the word Second, that it is a main Street-therefore cannot be at a lofs, to difco - ver the relidence of any perfon, whofe name in the directory calls for a main ftreet.
When a perfon fought refides in any other ftreet, Jane, or alley, the enquirer muft turn to the alphabe- tical lift of the leffer ftreets, &c. where he will find oppofite to its name the main Street from whence it begins, its direction whether Eaft or Weft by the let- ters E. & W. or North and South by the letters N.
