Philadelphia As It Is And Citizens Advertising Directory PDF Download

Excerpt from Philadelphia as It Is, and Citizen's Advertising Directory: Containing a General Description of the City and Environs, List of Officers, Public Institutions, and Other Useful Information; For the Convenience of Citizens, as a Book of Reference, and a Guide to Strangers, With a New Map of the City This work has been undertaken, from a belief that something of the kind is wanted, by citizens and strangers, as a book of reference, and guide to the numerous business concerns of this extensive city. Philadelphia as it is, comprises every information which may be required, and which, it is believed, cannot be obtained elsewhere without much loss of time. It occupies a place hitherto unattempted, and forms a complete manual for the merchant and traveller, presenting a statistical view of the city, with the most important and useful details for the more frequent subjects of inquiry. Great labour has been bestowed in collecting and arranging the materials, and the general accuracy of the work can be depended on. Omissions must, of course, be expected, in a first attempt; and the publisher will be thankful to gentlemen who will point out any errors, which will be corrected in future editions.
