In presenting to their Subscribers and the Public " A Directory to Gentlemen's Seats, Villages, &c. in Scotland," the Publishers trust that their endeavour to make it worthy of public patronage has been effected ; and while they regret the long delay that has occurred, and which has been unavoidable, in order to secure accuracy, they hope that this, the first attempt to supply what has long been wanting, will be duly appreciated by the Nobility, Landed Proprietors, Bankers, Merchants, Men of Business, &c. &c., to all of whom it must be indispensable, as it will afford the utmost facility for the transmission of correspondence throughout Scotland, and at the same time be of unspeakable benefit for all mercantile purposes. The Post Office information, in regard to the despatch and arrival of the Mails, has been collected and arranged with the greatest care and attention, from official and private returns, and affords an opportunity of calculating exactly the return of Post from any place in Scotland. The Work, also, embodies the latest Post Office information, including the alterations upon foreign postages, which came into operation under the recent convention with France. From the circulation already secured for the work, the Publishers have much pleasure in being enabled (without any additional charge) to present their Subscribers with a Map of Scotland, engraved expressly for the work, at considerable expense.

B. 3 E J Explanation : —In the Left-Hand Table are the Years of the Century, and above each of which is the Dominical Letter corresponding with that Year. Then, opposite to the Month and Week, at the Foot of the Right-Hand Table, will be found a corre- sponding Letter, over which are placed the Days of the Month and Week for that Month, (distinguishing the Sundays by a different Type.) Each Blank Space in the Left Hand Table shows the year following to be Leap Year ; and as every Leap Year has two Dominical Letters, the Letter above the Blank Space must be used for January and February in every Leap Year, and for the other Months, use the Letters belonging to the respective Years. By transposing the Dominical Letters, this Calendar would answer for any Century. DIRECTORY OF GENTLEMEN'S SEATS, VILLAGES, &c. IN SCOTLAND. The Sub- Offices are in Italics.
