The Editor was induced to imdertake this warM partly from tKe increasing importance of this valu-^ concise able Comityy of which there is no Tcpogra-- phical History, ^c. or Guide ; and partly in con- sequence of the glaring blunders and palpable in- attention exhibited in what are called the West- Country Lists, the only guide incomplete and imper- fect as it is, we have hitherto had of the various insti- tutions of our town, and partly from the disappoint- m.ent the want of it has been felt by Travellers and Tourists who, during all seasons of the year have of late visited the Land of Burns. Of the utility of a Directory for so large a place as Ayr now is, there cdnhelMt'iMeopiniofl^ and a desideratum long calledfur has now at a considerable trouble and eafpence been supplied ; in compiling which the Editor begs to acknowledge the obligations he is under to the Local authorities of the Town, for such informa- tion as appeared inaccessible. The Editor htg€ further to state that no name ofplace of fe^dmce has been omitted so far as could pd&sibly be obtained^ and shoiild any person whose name ought to have appeared here^ find it oimltedghe must'-bldm^e himselffor such omissioUias upwards of 1500 notices were served on the respectable inhabits untsofthe Town and neighbourhood of Ayr* If musti however, be ^dm,itted that notwithstanding the iUmosi eare and diligence, perfect accuracy is undt- iidnable, awing to the changes which sir frequently^ Th^ Editor begs to apologize t6 his respectable Roman Catholic and Episcopalian friends, for the omission of their places of worship amongst those of their Brethren, but considers he is only responsibU for such communications as were handed in proper time. Several are in the like predicament, and inust unavoidably be reserved for another Edition should such ever be called for. The Editor begs also to apologize to those respectable individuals lately come to reside within the bounds of this Directory, for the non-insertion of their names and addresses—that part of our work hav^'-' ing gone to press previous to their domicile here. A limited number of copies of this work have been thrown off, a number about equal to defray tke expence, which if disposed of, will be a satisfaction that the labour hasnot been m vain. Another Edition m,ay be afterwards got up in the course of a year, should a sufficiency of subscribers be obtained, betwixt and then, and any corrections or suggestions for the further improvement of this Guide, will be thankfully received, addressed to the Publisher, No. 7> New Bridge Street, Ayr. ... .. ... .. ». .. ... ...
