MDCCCXXXIV. Printed at the CiinaxiciE Office, Dundee, PREFACE. The following pages have been compiled by- Mr. Thomas Keith. The original intention was to give a mere list of the principal inhabi- tants in alphabetical order ; with a few subordi- nate lists and tables connected with the trade of the place. It was thought that this might be accomplished without adding materially to the size or price of former publications of the same description. A very little experience led to a contrary conviction. After the utmost pains had been bestowed in preparing the alphabetical list of names, it was suggested that the occupations and places of residence of many individuals might be inacciu-ately given ; and that it would be pro- per to leave slips at the houses of the inhabitants, inviting them to write upon them their names, occupations, and places of abode, as they wished these to appear in the Directory. By this means upwards of 1500 corrections were made on the list as it was originally prepared ; and had it not been for neglect on the part of some persons to furnish the requisite information, very few errors would have remained. As it stands, however, the present Directory wiU be found a considerable improvement on previous attempts. An addi- tional sheet will be published in July, in which such errors as may be discovered will be cor- rected,—names omitted will be added, and re- movals at the term of Whitsunday next in- serted. The supplement, with the present pub- lication, will supply a tolerably complete Direc- tory from Whitsunday 1834 to Whitsunday 1835. Tlie supplement will be sold to purchasers of this compilation for the price of the paper. It will be seen that the Alphabetical list forms but a small part of the Directory. A mass of PREFACE. information connected with the town has been brought together, and arranged in such a way as, it is hoped, will render it useful. Every endea vour has been used to secure accuracy, though this important object may not, in every instance, have been attained. With regard to the historical sketch, it is very far from being complete even as a Sketch, and has, indeed, been abruptly terminated from want both of time and space. The notices which have been presented may serve, however, to convince some individual competent to the task, that a good history of Dundee, and of its trade and ma- nufactures, is now a great desideratum. The sub- ject is not without some pretension to dignity, and it is of the utmost practical importance. It would make a considerable octavo volume ; and, if to it were added, a few of the more important mercantile tables, and a summary of the existing Acts of Parliament, so far as applicable to the trade of Dundee, its value would be greatly en- hanced. We recommend these suggestions to the consideration of the Chamber of Commerce, imder whose auspices they could be easily carried into effect—to the individual benefit of the mem- l^ers as well as that of the community. Should sufficient encouragement be afforded, the Directory, with such of the lists and tables as require annual correction, will be reprinted in July each year. Suggestions for its improvement will be thankfully received by the publisher.
