THE
RICHMOND
DIRECTORY,
REGISTER AND ALMANAC,
1 FOR THE
YEAR 1819.
RICHMOND: Published by John Maddox. 1819.
INTRODUCTION.
IN almost every city in the United States, of the magnitude of Richmond, Directories are considered as indispensably necessary. The want of one in Richmond, its numerous population having render- ed it difficult to find persons residing in different parts of the city, besides the opinions of many re- spectable citizens in its favor, induced the compiler to undertake the work. It was, indeed, laborious, and many obstacles have presented themselves, which have been the means of delaying the first year's pub- lication to a very late period. The want of num. bers on the houses, which has been considered by some as a great objection to the work, has been overcome by the particular manner in which their situations has been described as will be seen by the reference at the beginning of the Directory. The usefulness of the work is too well known to require anything to be said on that subject. A Register and an Almanac have also been added, as is custo- mary with all publications of the kind, which ren- ders the work more desirable. That part of the Register, which was to record the names of the Mili- tary Officers of the State, has been excluded, in con- sequence of the lateness of the publication. Yet several tables, and other matter of a more inter- esting nature, is inserted.
