The Subscriber presents to the public his fourth vol­ ume of the ALBANY DIRECTORY, containing in the Al­ phabet more than six thousand names, together with a CITY REGISTER of such miscellaneous matter as relates to the city of Albany, and is of general interest to its citizens. In presenting this volume to his fellow citi­ zens, he regrets that he is compelled to appear before them in vindication of his rights, and to expose the sur­ reptitious efforts of an opposition to him, got up regard­ less alike of the dictates of honor, truth, or justice. The present publisher became so by an honorable and mutual arrangement with his predecessor, and in ac­ cordance with a practice heretofore observed. To a fair and honorable competition he claims no right to object; but to sly anticipation, over-reaching dis­ position, false insinuations and inducements bold out to the public to force him from the field, he enters his protest. That such has been the case can be proved by many of the most respectable citizens of Albany. In the compilation of the work, pains have been ta­ ken to make it correct, and so far as unwearied exer­ tions could make it so, has been done. It has been published at as early a day as it conveniently could be. To his subscribers and advertising friends he respect­ fully returns his acknowledgments; to the public gen­ erally, he looks for that patronage which has supported him in the publication of this work for the three previ­ ous years. He believes that all has been inserted in this Directory that is necessary in a work of the kind PREFACE. 8 Throughout this Directory the christian names, of those where there are more than one of the same sur­ name, are alphabetically arranged. The christian names of those composing firms are uniformly given. The females are placed after the males of the same surname, and when they are known to be widows, they are so designated. In all cases the place of business is named first, and then the private residence. In searching for a name, the inquirer must know the pro­ per spelling: a person seeking for Bernes will not find the one sought for if he take the direction appen­ ded to Burns: so also for Cary he should not seek for Carey : for Fisher not for Visscher : for Mayer not for Myer : for Deuell not for Duell: for Dickson not for Dixon : for Garite not for Gerity: for Goold not for Gould: for Gracie not for Grassie : for Houston not for Hewson : for Huff not for Hough : for Johnston not for Johnson: for Hotaling not for Houghtaling : for Pearson not for Pierson: for Haite not for Hale: for Groat not for Groot: for Pearce not for Pierce : &c. &c The charges of inaccuracy in the work in almost eve­ ry case, are chargeable to a want of the correct know­ ledge of spelling the name sought for. The colored population are in italics designated by an asterisk (*). The Public's Obedient Servant." E. B. CHILD. Albany, June 16, 1834. CITY REGISTER.
