PREFACE

 

     It has been the aim of the Publisher to compile the present edition of the LYNN DIRECTORY with especial care.  By looking at the list of alterations, it will be observed that many changes have taken place since the last number was issued.   We tender our thanks to all who have aided and encouraged us in the work.  It is with pride we record the fact of the rapid increase of the population and wealth of Lynn.

     Should the sale of this edition warrant the undertaking, the next will contain a fine copperplate map of the city.

     An Almanac, ornamented with views of public buildings in Boston, has been added to the present Directory.
