Stereotypen aod Bookbinders, Herald Building, Cleveland, 0, ADVERTISEMENT. The publishers, in presenting this Directory, which they flatter themselves will be found, in style and completeness nearly adequate to the wants of our flourishing city, in justice to themselves, and to forestall any criticisms which may fall unjustly on the work, would offer the following remarks: Wo expense has been spared to secure a thorough canvass of the city; every street, lane, and alley, has been reported to us, and we have had no reason to question the fidelity of those whom we have employed. Still there may be, and probably are, some errors in the volume, in reference to residences, places of business, and occu­ pation, arising from the fact that some of our streets are very deficient in numbers ; and especially will this apply to those recently laid out. The most rigid examina­ tion was made of the reports brought in to us, and all that care and industry could do to render the work full and accurate, has been done. The sketch of the city has been carefully prepared by our townsman, Dr. J. S Newberry; the historical portion of which having been principally compiled from the notes kindly furnished him by John Barr, Esq. As a glance at the past, present and probable future of Cleveland, they think it will be of interest and value. The map has been engraved expressly for this work, from the large map of the city recently published. It will be found to be of great utility as a matter of reference. The mechanical part of the book will speak for itself. The paper is from the mill of our friends Younglove & Hoyt, the printing done by Harris, Fairbanks <fe Co. Everything, with the exception of the cover, being the production of the artizans of the city, once known as “ the town six miles from If ewburgh, where steamboats occasionally stop for wood and water.” The publishers hope the book will commend itself to the citizens of the place and receive their patronage. Should this be sufficient to warrant them in issuing another and similar one, this may be but the first of a series of Cleveland City Directories. J an uary 1st, 1853. I GENERAL INDEX. PAGE.
