In presenting to their Subscribers and tbe Public, the present Edition of the Post Office Dundee Directory, the Publishers beg very respectfully to return their grateful acknowledgments to those gentlemen who so courteously furnished them with much useful information on various local matters, and to the public generally for the liberal patronage bestowed upon them. As it has been suggested that a Street Directory is desirable, and should have formed a feature of the present Volume, the Publishers beg to state that they had that matter under their consideration when they commenced their labours, but, for several reasons, they have deemed it expedient to publish the Work in its present form this year ; but, should they be induced to resume their labours next year, or at a subsequent period, the desideratum of a Street Directory will then be supplied.
