ADVERTISEMENT" THE compiler·0£ the QUEBEC DIRECTORY, in presentin-g it to the Public, begs leave to remark, that although aware of many di·fficulties he had to encounter, others' unforeseen by himself or ofriends arose, which considerably retarded its 'Completion. Obstacles were in -some few instan­ ces, thrown in his way which required the great­ -cst activity and perseverance to overcome. How far he has succ€eded in removing those obstacles and making the work uceptable, the public alone will be able to decide. In order to make a DIRBCTORY of this City useful, it i~, (and ever will be,) necessary to pub­ lish it by the first of J un~. 'Bhis necessity has caused the <:ompiler labour mId difficulty almost incredible. Upwards of three hundred removals has takenploc.esince ,the first of May. These he has endeavoured to correct. That there are errors he will not pretend to deny; but he con­ fidently trusts, few willbe found taking into cob­ sideration the number 'Of names he has inserted. VI Every attention has been paid to the authc­ graphy of the French names, by persons compe­ tent to the task. A plan of the City and part of the Suburbs has been procured at a considerable expence ; and the engraving although plain and simple has been pronounced correct. In particularizing the numbers of the houses, no regard has been paid to those already pla<ed upon them unless found correct. The majority of them are incorrect, but the numbers inserted in the Directory will be found accur.ate when a general numbering takes place. This the pub­ lisher has been led to believe will be done this summer. Those who' may be disposed to num­ ber their hou~t':; acconling to the Directory.may depend on their accuracy. In the arrangement of part of this work, are some unavoidable errors, owing to the riecessary information not being received until the work was in the press. A nother year this fault' (if so considered) can easily becorrec.ted. It is like­ wise the intention of the com,piler to make' many useful additions anot her year, if justified in the attempt by support, adequate to the expense. From correct descriptions previously given of the City, extracts have been mad·e with due acknow- . dgement. vii The publisher returns his grateful acknow­ ledgements to his numerous and respectable Pa­ trons, for their encouragement and assistance ; and copfidently hopes the present attempt may be useful to the community, and be attended with succuss.
