Fi 3 A General and Business Directory of the Towns, Villages, and Post Office localities, &c. 4 Churches, with ther locations, and the names of their Ministers or Pastors. 5 Schools, Colleges, Seminaries, and other Educational Institutions, with their location, and the names of the Principals and Teachers. 6 Literary Societies and Mechanics' Institutes. 7 Masonic, Orange, Good Templars, Tempe- rance and other Societies and Associations, in- formation.of which can be obtained. 8 Agricultural Statistics.

As abook of General Information, it will be both instructive and interesting to all class- es. To the merchant and professional man, as a Directory, it must prove of incalculable ser- vice, and can be relied upon--the compilation being conducted with the greatest care by the publishers themselves. Merchants and others who wish to extend their business operations, will find this the very best means of advertising, as it will be perused by all, and must, therefore, reach the particular class from whom they receive their patronage, and being strongly bound in a neat volume, it certainly equals daily advertising for years to come. From the very flattering encouragement the publishers have received from Bankers, Profes- sional men, Merchants, Manufacturers, and oth- ers, to whom they have mentioned their inten- tion of publishing such a work, they feel assured that the patronage which will be extended to the enterprise will meet their most sanguine ex- pectations, and have therefore resolved to keep the price of the book (which will be of large oc- tayo size) at $1 50.
