Advertisement.

To a Publication of this Nature, undertaken according to usual custom, and depending solely on the sale of the Work for profit, any preface would be deemed unnecessary—but in setting forth the present one, the Compiler would justly merit the charge of ingratitude, were he to omit acknowledging in high terms, the public spirit of the inhabitants, and their liberal patronage to him in the undertaking.

Tho' the expence incurred in lettering the names of the streets, and numbering the houses, has been considerable, yet the subscriber hopes that the sale of the Directory, with the generous support already afforded him, will not only defray all charges, but compensate him for his trouble.

The constant ingress of new inhabitants to this growing commercial town, with the frequent removals of several of the citizens, will require the publication of a Directory annually; but which in future will be supported without recurring to a subscription.

[Page iv]

The subscriber is fully apprised that in a publication like this, particularly as the Directory was nearly completed before the houses were numbered, some errors may have been made, but from the care he has taken to have them avoided, he trusts they will, if any, be but few; for which he solicits, and doubts not, the indulgence of a generous Public.

C. H. Simmons.

[Page v]

At a HUSTINGS COURT, continued and held
the 27th Day of JANUARY, 1801.

CHARLES H. SIMMONS having, in a letter addressed to the court, dated the 24th instant, represented to them that he is about to compile and publish a Directory, in which he proposes to designate the places of abode of the inhabitants of this borough, and solicits the countenance and patronage of the court, setting forth that it would greatly aid and facilitate the undertaking by being duly authorized to number the buildings—The court taking the same into consideration this 27th day of January, do by virtue of the authority vested in them by the charter of the borough, authorise and allow the said G. H. Simmons to proceed to enumerate the buildings respectively within the corporation, by progressive numbers, and to affix the same thereto: and also to designate the streets and public lanes.

And moreover, the court being desirous that the most beneficial effects should result to the citizens do direct that the foregoing order be transmitted to the common hall, with a request to that honorable body, that they would make provision to defray the expence of employing an able and skilful surveyor, to take and return to this court, an accurate plan of this borough, that the same being duly approved and deposited in the clerk's office, may become a part of the records, agreeably to an act of assembly.
