Notes:

Issued in competition with James Robinson's annual directory. The preface to the latter for 1817 states that "an attempt is now making, by the aid of a host of hawkers, to palm upon the publick a catch-penny production in the form of a directory ... a malicious report having been industriously circulated, that this [Robinson's] work was discontinued."

Bound in paper-covered boards with printed front cover.
