Merchants and Traders in the Upper Ward of the County, (and ./r . the first Publication of the Upper Ward ivas produced, he was solicited to extend his Work to the Lower Ward, by the Merchants and Traders there.)

He now respectfully announces that the Work will be Published every two years for other six publications, provided a sufficient number of sub- .fcribers is obtained, so as to insure him a proper remuneration for his labour. In the accuracy of details, and distinctness of arrangements, he is aware that the chief value of such a Work consists, he has therefore spared neither pains nor expense in securing these. The Lists and Tables inserted in the appendixes are of the most useful description, and suitable not only to the Merchants and Traders, but to the Public gene- rally, as a Directory, is the only i-epository ivhereby a commercial people are enabled to become acquahited with each other.
