PUBLISHED BY COX AND CO. (PKOPRIETORS), BOOKSELLERS AND STATIONERS, 111, GEORGE STREET. LONDON AGENTS:—SIMrKIN AND MARSHALL, PATEENOSTEE EOW. PREFACE.

To MEET the annual requirements of such an important City as Sydney, we now introduce the second number of the SYDNEY POST OFFICE DIRECTORY. The volume contains some 300 pages, and we flatter ourselves for fullness and accuracy of detail, style of production, and important information, it will do more than bear comparison with any of its annual competitors for public patronage. While tendering our grateful acknowledgments for the very liberal support bestowed upon our first SYDNEY DIRECTORY, we avail ourselves of the oppor- tunity of making a few remarks illustrative of our position at the commence- ment of the undertaking. In the first place, the tendency to frequent change of locality and residence, so natural to the inhabitants of a rising Colonial City, a tendency strengthened by the discovery of Gold in so many neighbouring localities, seemed to render anything approaching to accuracy impossible. This difficulty, however, a careful examination of our two volumes will show to have been in a great measure imaginary, the tendency being coun- teracted by the wonderful prosperity of our great city, rendering our citizens less nomadic. The confessed difficulty of collecting the requisite informa- tion was another considerable obstacle which, however, our readers being the judges, was fully overcome by the valuable assistance of gentlemen experi- enced in such work, and to whom we would cordially express our acknowledgments. We say it with no small degree of pride and gratitude, the SYDNEY POST OFFICE DIRECTORY met with an amount of success which far exceeded our most sanguine expectations. The Press met us with most favourable editorial notices ; the commercial world accepted our volume as a standard work: and encomiums poured in from all quarters, seldom received by proprietors of any new publication. Our measure of success was indeed full. Thus stimulated, we have redoubled our exertions in the production of the present volume, which appears under the special patronage of Her Majesty's Postmaster-General, who, fully recognising the necessity both of the existence and accuracy of such a work as the present, has allowed the various Letter- Carriers of the General Post Office to collect the information which now appears in our pages. IV PEEFACE. Yet, with all thege circumstances in favour of our DIRECTORY, it becomes us still to claim the indulgence of the Public for any slight errors which may appear, since, however great the amount of care which may have been taken in producing such a volume as this, errors do creep in, and we are candid enough to admit that time and experience are requisite before we can arrive at perfection. In giving forth the present edition, the Proprietors take upon themselves to correct any imperfections that may appear, and they would solicit the kind co-operation of the Public, by being furnished with " alterations or removals," at the earliest possible moment, at their Establishment, No. Ill, George Street, the Post Office Authorities having rendered them material assistance in the production of their Work, but are in no way answerable for any inac- curacies that may occur. In the present edition the Street Directory will be found muc" enlarged, the Trades' Directory has been carefully revised, and the alphabetical arrangement greatly extended; the Government Directory will be found correct, even amid the changes incidental to Responsible Government; the whole of the Ecclesiastical Establishments are given, as well as a detailed list of Charitable Institutions, Public Boards, and a complete compendium of the Postal Arrangements throughout the Colony.

Navigating Archive CD Books CDs All Archive CD Books products can be navigated easily using the handy bookmarks on each CD. The table of contents in most original books, and the original book index where it exists, can provide additional ways of finding the information required.

Searching Text on Archive CD Books Australia CDs Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology has been developing over the years as a useful mechanism to convert images (as Archive CD Books pages are) into text which can be searched. The quality of the OCR can still vary, and hence the searchability can vary. Around 95% or 99% of the words in books with good type are searchable—or even higher with very good type. OCR is now a wonderful searching aid in many instances but there is still no substitute for reading the book!

Different Versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader Adobe Acrobat Reader 4 or later should be used. Adobe Reader 6 (as it is now named) in fact has considerably better searching options and is recommended. • Acrobat Reader v4 has both a “Find” and a “Search” tool. Those tools are two *totally* different things. Our CDs (that are searchable) work with the *FIND* tool • Acrobat Reader v5 has only a “Find” tool (not a “search” tool). Our CDs (that are searchable) work with the *FIND* tool. • Adobe Reader v6 has only a “Search” tool (not a tool labelled “Find”). HOWEVER — what is called “Search” is the same as the tool that used to be called “Find” Our CDs (that are searchable) work with the *SEARCH* tool

Tips For Searching and Getting More From the CD Books • update to Adobe Reader 6 for more versatile searching options, including the ability to bring up a list of all instances of the word you are searching for — across multiple files on a single CD in a single search request. • enter the MINIMUM number of characters needed to bring up the search results required. • use Adobe Reader 6 to do some trial searches to try to identify the characters that may be misread. These can show up in the extra text in the search results list (Adobe 6 only). A few minutes trial will help you to avoid using characters that are more prone to being misread, e.g. try entering “rederi” if you want “Frederick”, but find that the letters “F” “c” and “k” are sometimes misread. • use the “Match whole word” option to eliminate unnecessary items in your results list, e.g. to eliminate all the blacksmiths and tinsmiths etc when you only want the name Smith. • use the “Match case” option to eliminate all the occupations “smith” if you only want the name “Smith”. • don’t just search for names. Search the book for other names, places and subjects of interest: › look for others of the same name › look for others who lived in the same place or street › who was the postmaster or police officer in the town? › how often and at what time did the coach arrive in town? › what churches were there and what time were services held? › what other activities were there in the community? › look for others who had the same occupation of other interests • all of this and more may be available in a seemingly mundane book such as a directory. You can learn much of the background of life at the time, even if your ancestor is not listed there. • Many CDs have only one file, but some have the book content spread over several files. Adobe Reader normally searches in the file that is open at the time. If you wish to search ALL files at once choose the "All PDF documents in" option and select the CD drive or directory the files are in—Adobe Reader 6 only. ADOBE ACROBAT SEARCHING IS A WONDERFUL FIRST FINDING AID. BUT DO NOT RELY ON IT TO PICK UP ALL THE INFORMATION YOU WANT
