PORT ELIZABETH : 0". "W. O. MAOKAY, PUBLISHER, BOOKSELLER, AND STATIONER, MAIN-STREET. 1977. Air 5-.% Harvard College Library - Jul. 11, Qie Grift of Prof. Jeta S. Pray, ' PORT ELIZABETH : Impet, Yickebs & Oo., Painters, MARKET-SQUABE. P H 3& 3? A C Xali In editing the present volume I have tried to make it more useful than any of its predecessors. A variety of new matter is introduced, and the plan of the entire work remodelled. The tables for mercantile and general reference, from pages 25 to 26, will be handy ; information relative to the law courts is added, and the contents of the Stamp Act are classified. The last Wine and Spirit Act, with the tables of licences and stamps, is given. Under the heading of " Marino Department," the Admiralty hydrographical formula are adopted for all that .concerns the harbour and shipping management and business. The regulations for Cabs and other Public Conveyances are introduced. The Alphabetical and Street directories have been most amply in creased by Mr. Mason's additions to the names and residencies. In the arrangement of the divisions and divisional towns, their territorial, mercantile, or political importance, has given way to the alphabetical order, that they may be more readily referred to. The business directories have had special attention. The figures in each instance have been, taken from the 1875 census. In nearly every case the information has been derived from the most reliable source. The few errors, for the most part unimportant, which were over locked, have been corrected, and alterations since the earlier sheets went to press, have been made to bring public information up to the latest date. On behalf of the publisher, I have to thank the many gentlemen who have promptly supplied desired information, and with him express the hope that the present will be found in all respects not only the most complete, but the most acceptable Port Elizabeth Directory and Guide to the Eastern Province that has yet been published.
