JOHN DOGGETT. JR. DIRECTORY EPTABLISIIMENT, If.G BROADWAY II. Ludwig, Pnnl^r, 70 &, 72 Vesey-st. PREFACE. The success which attended the publication of tlie first volume of this little work, has induced the Publisher to issue the present with a determination to gratify, if possible, any reasonable expectation of the Public in regard to it. And in order to vary the subjects referred to on these pages, a large portion of the matter contained in the former issue is omitted in this, and other, perhaps that which will prove even more useful, has been substituted in its stead. The intention was to have changed, materially, the character of this work the present season ; but, the calamitous and ever-to-be- remerabered fire in July, has rendered the execution of the plan at this time, inexpedient. Several suggestions have been received respecting the insertion of information in this publication, which, it was supposed, would make it more interesting and valuable. Such hints are ever welcome, and if not in every case adopted, the friendly spirit which dictates their communication, is, nevertheless, fully appreciated. To the kind regards of the citizens of New-York, as well as to the friendly consideration of all strangers who may visit the Great Metropolis, this little volume is now most respectfully submitted by THE PUBLISHER. Directory Establishment, 156 Broadway, ) October 15, 1845. J Entered according to Act of Ccogress, in the year 1845, by JOHN DOGGKTT,JR. In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of New-York. '"^^/tC 3 INDEX. 4: ALMANAC, ECLIPSES, ETC. Page.
