TO THE PUBLIC.

LIVERPOOL, that in the early part of the eighteenth
century, was an inconsiderable place, scarcely num-
bering six thousand inhabitants, has rapidly arisen,
through its great natural maritime advantages, with the
talent and enterprise of its Merchants, to be the

" SECOND COMMERCIAL PORT OF THE

ENIPIRE,"

with the present amazingly-increasing population of three
hundred thousand, and has been proudly and aptly termed

THE SEA-HAVEN OF THE WORLD."

In its vast range'of Docks, which, like the unfolding
limbs of some mighty giant, comprise an extent, including
those in progress, of from four to five miles, may be seen
unfurled the flags of all nations, heralding the rich freight-
age of the various merchandise and treasures of the globe;
and, amid the multitudes that crowd its numerous quays
and piers, may be encountered the human race, in all its
chief, marked, and varied aspects.

The importance and local influence which must accrue
to the district north of the Exchange, by the erection of
the New Docks, which grasp the sea-line almost to Bootle,

have induced

JOHN BRISCOE,

warded his exertions for the last nineteen years, to complete
