PREFACE.
The County Directoey has been unavoidably delayed, in con-
sequence ofthe death of Mr Findlay, the originalprojector ofthe
work. The information collected by him has been revised, with
a view to correction, up to the latest possible period, by Mr
Thomsok", ofthe General Post-Office, Edinburgh; andit istrusted
that the different lists will be found as accurate as the extensive
plan of such an undertaking would permit.
Seven years have elapsed since the last County Directory was
issued; and a comparison of the two volumes will shew that the
interval of publication has already exceeded its due limits, and
that a new work was imperatively necessary. In addition to the
usual Directory Lists, much useful intelligence relative to Post-
Office arrangements, County and Poor-Law Statistics, Local
Courts, &c., has been inserted; while the Population Returns for
each town and county have been given, according to the Census
of 1851.
To the numerous parties who have aided in the compilation of
the work, the Publishers have to return their best thanks; and
to them and to others they beg to intimate that any suggestions
for its improvement v^dll be carefully and gratefully attended to.
