All, without a single exception, that have used the above articles give them the preference to any offered in the city.
Tin, earthen, and wooden vessels of any size, are constantly kept for family conveni- ence ; but tin is recommended as the best vessel for Oil, as it preserves it from that glu- tinous state age is apt to give it. As economy is becoming the rule of the day, and observa- tion (from actual experiment) may add a few dollars to some one's pocket ; that is, that any house, room, or table, can be furnished with equal brilliancy of light, with good lamps and oil, at less than one half the expense of can- dles ; which is at this time certainly an ob- ject worthy of attention.
0 Lamps furnished for the experiment gratis .- All the above articles sent to any part of the city free of expense.

EXPLANATION.
Look at the top for the century, then to the right for the intervening year ; in a line with it under the century is the dominical letter for the year.
For bissextile, or leap years, use the letter on a line with the blank above that year, until the first of February.
Look for the month, and in a line with it under the given
dominical letter, is the day of the week on which that month begins ; then find the corresponding day at the top of the days of the week, and that column will be the days of the week for that month.

TO THE PUBLIC.
IN addressing you, I am doing nothing extra- ordinary. It is customary, and, I believe, ex- pected, for the editor or publisher of a work to say something respecting it. Mine may not be of the first standing; but it is not the less entitled to credit, and to notice. All agree, with few ex- ceptions, that such a work is necessary in a capi- tal like ours-extensive, populous, and rich !- Without such a guide, where would the stranger, relative or friend (or those who seek) know where to find? They may inquire-in vain! The stranger of a stranger-the relative of a relative-the friend of a friend-in vain! Justice may be an- swered by it-Honesty has nothing to fear! Well then, will the labourer be deemed unworthy; or will they refuse to hire him, " so long as he is faith- ful to his trust."-No; I doubt not.
With such premises, may I be permitted to speak of some of the difficulties that have to be encountered in making a directory. I here in- tended to have given a portraiture of the differ- ent characters with whom it was our lot to have connexion; but I decline it, and simply state, that that which my predecessor has given to the public, must suffice, in some measure, for me. I
PREFACE.
may however be permitted to say, that we have had " to combat," if I may use the phrase, with Arrogance, Impudence, and Ignorance. Sorry am I to say it; but I have been received by some in such an uncourteous manner, that had it not been for the " public weal," I should have dispensed with troubling them. To those who have treated me and my assistants with respect, I feel indebted.
It may perhaps be irksome and useless to the public, in general, to mention that such an un- dertaking as publishing a directory is attended with some trouble .- But I would say, as I have mentioned heretofore, that had " .I not listed, I would not have followed the drum!" It cost me something to obtain the right; and that right I ex- pect the public (with all due deference) to sup- port me in. I have no reason to think to the contrary; for the very kind and respectful atten- tion 1 have received from those who patronise such a work, gives me every encouragement for a future prosecution of it.
My endeavours, and those who were employed by me, I hope have not been unavailing. I pre- sume that our efforts to make a correct directory, will better be proved by examination, than by any other test .- People may have moved since names were taken-(many may move and re- move)-but I cannot be accountable for them. The names I give to you, I give at the residence we found them.
It is not my intention to urge any thing that . your understandings are not capable of. I ask nothing but impartiality. Though errors are committed, of which I doubt not there are many, I hope you will have the goodness to place them
PREFACE.
to their proper account-not to a want of atten- tion-that has never, I believe, been the case; but in a work of such a nature, errors will occur in despite of every effort-Who is perfect!
It will be said, by many, that the work has been delayed beyond the proper time-granted. It has been said by some, that the work ought to be given to the public by the first of January -this I deny. To print a correct directory, it is necessary to protract its publication to the month of February in each year-as the elections of officers for the different institutions, other in- corporated bodies and societies, chiefly take place in all the month of January, annually.
Some apology, however, seems necessary for the late appearance of the directory this year- and this can be done in few words. It came into my hands late in the year-I was not acquainted with all its difficulties. Much more might be said; but I hope my industry will make up for the delay, as there will be found upwards of two thousand names more than were collected for any previous directory. In future it may be ex- pected in the month of February.
With all due respect, The public's humble servant,
E. WHITELY.
