As publisher Of the Cincinnati Directory, the sub
scIber has been very often inquired Of in regurd 10 the
names and addresses Of civil aud Judicial Oaicers, Pub
lie Institutions Professional and Business Men, &c, &c
IN other parts Of the State. These inquiries, in eOrnec.
ton with bis own expeience-having himself oltes
needed Information Of the same kind-has convinced
him that a very large portion Of the citizens, including
almost the entire Professional, Mercantile aud Manu-.
iaetuing part of the community, together With very
considerable number Of those engaged in Mechanical
and Agricultural pursuits, would be greatly benefited
by the publication Of work suitable for general refer
ence in regard to Public Officers and Institutions Wheth-
erState, County City or Town, and which should at
the same time present TO Professional and Busnsas Men
in every City, Town and Village throughout the State,
the opportunity Ofmakngthemseltes generally known,
or in other words, a medium through which they may
form an acquaintance with each other.
For the accomplishment ofthis object, be proposes
under the above title, to commence the annual pubhca
ton Of a work presenting, through the medium OF a
Map, the State. with its Geographical Divisions into
Counties and Towns, with the Railroads in operation, as
well as those in process of construction, and other In
formation usually given in that way; Register Of the
Civil Officers Of the State, including the members OF the
Senate and House of Representatives, the principal OF
fcers Of each County and City, separately arranged, a
concise record Of the principal Legislative Acts OF the
last session, the organization Of the State Judiciary; q
list Of names of justices OF the Peace throughout the
State; a Post Office Directory, or full list of the Post
OiuCtA WWhlu the Dlale, u OuuFcn DIectOIl, OF Hb OF

Consuls and Consular Agents, Colleges, Seminaiies, sc;
Directories for the /. o. odd Fellows, as well as the Ma.
sonic, and all other benevolent aud beneficial Socie.
ties and Institutions; and a large amount Of Olher sta.
tistical information Of Public Importance; TO which will
be added a Business Mirror, in which every Trade. oc-
cupation and profession will be separately arranged,
anu as fully represented as any individual engaged in
them can constantly desire, as it will include all who
aid, in any way, to sustain the wOIk-others cannot
reasonably expect to reap the full advantages which
may be derived from such a publication,
A work of this kind, If properly sustained and faith
ully executed, aside from its great practical utility as
far a Book Of Reference in respect to facts as tl,y ex
st at the time of publication OF each issue, must ia.
crease in value from year TO year, as from being pub,
lished annually, it will evidently become a record OF
the most important events in the order in which they
occur, and will consequently form, Politically, Judi
cially, Socially and Commercially, the most perfect
history Of the State which could possibly be furnished;
