PREFACE.

A poet of great critical observation has remarked:

          Whoever thinks a perfect work to see,

          Thinks what ne'er was, nor is, nor e'er will be;

     and whoever expects to find a perfect directory of any city, must wait until that city is finished. During our absence for several weeks as juryman at Ipswich, a few omissions occurred, which we have en­deavored to supply on page 141. We shall be more particular in all re­spects in our next number.
