In presenting the " Dundee Post Office Directory" to their Subscribers and the Public, the Publishers have to apologize for the length of time that has passed between the announcement and the appearance of that Work; but a number of unforeseen circumstances, inseparable from the preparation of a new Work, coupled with an anxious desire to be as correct as possible, in connexion with deference to the opinion of many friends as to the time of publication, will, it is hoped, be accepted as an excuse for the delay. That the " Directory" will contain mistakes is readily admitted ; but these will be carefully remedied, and all unnecessary delay avoided, if the Public shall be so indulgent as to call for another Publication next year, which, in so large a community as Dundee contains, and from the timely shifting of residences and places of business, would seem to be annually necessary.
