COMI'It.I':O ANO 1'\1111.18111':0 IIY JAMES RANDLE NASON. TORONTO: DUDLEY & BURNS, PRIN'1!ERS, 1871. PREFACE. In submitting the EAST AND WEST RIDINGS OF THE COUNTY OF YORK DIRECTORY to the public, the publisher is desirous of acknowledging the uniform courtesy shown him in collecting the requisite matter for the same, and takes plea­ sure in presenting the results of his efforts for the patronage of a generous public, indulging the hope that they will duly consider the many difficulties which surrounded the enter­ prise, and overlook any errors that may hereafter appear. The correct compiling of a Directory is an undertaking of considerable difficulty, entire accuracy never having been obtained. Every effort has been made to procure reliable information in all cases, and the work is claimed to be as free from errors as moot works of a ~imilar nature. In conclusion, the work is presented to the inhabitants of the East and West Ridings of the County of York, with the hope that it will meet with that approval which it has been the earnest endeavor of the publisher to secure. JAMES RANDLE NASON. Weston, March, 1871. Entered according to Act of Parliament of Canada, in the year One Thousand Eight Hnndred and Sennty-on., by JAMBS RANDLE NASON in the office of the Minister of ~.griculture. ' GENERAL INDEX.
