Dockerty-for that shall be his name for the pur-

afternoon last week to give the richly dressed
young person OF his own age, size and sex In the

delivered telegraph message at the house, and
both going in and coming out had invited the
scrutiny of the young Lord Fauntleroy who, he
concluded had the privilege of walking about on
the velvet carpets inside. Dockerty was just one
of those common little runts with wits sharpened
to edge on the milestone of plain living

mouth very wide. He a boy. though. and
just as likely az not his grandfather and the grand
father of the rich little person were plasterers to-

have warmed their respective hearts as they looked
at each other in the gathering twilight.

OLD GUIDES TO THE CITY.
SOME EARLY NETWORK DIRECTORIES
AND THEIR VALUE
BY P. LEE PHILLIPS. CARToGRAPHER OF
THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS.


THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS.
One of the great benefits among the many de-
rived from public libraries is the preservation
of material which when first published is re-
garded of little value. This statement is ap-
plicabe especially to the city directory for when
it has performed it's immediate use it is rele-
gated to the old paper collector, even the dealer
in old books rarely giving it a place on his
shelves. The result is that early issues have
become so rare that when found they are of
great interest and value, and often reprinted.
This is the case with the first directory of New
York City which republished several times
and first by JOnn Doggett, jr, in 1851. The re-
production is also scarce. and a copy sold
at the Brinley sale for a comparatively large
price What valuation the original edition has
would be difficult to state. for only one perfect
copy is known, and that is in the library of the
N2w-York Historical Society. The reproduction,
curiously enough, publishes the plan of the city
taken from the directory OF 1IS9, showing there
by that the original edition was published with
out plan. This edition of 11SG makes mention
of 926 names, and the population OF the city at
that time numbered 23,614. The full title is
follows:

knowledge of the utility Of this production. 1t

at large for every information that they think
will prove conductive TO its future correctness

the title of this first edition. which he says Is
Extremely scarce" and refers to another di-
rectory published in the following year by the
same editor.
No attempt Is made 10 give alphabetical
arrangement of names. and the Is and Us are

ways the most charitable act to recall the
names and professions of some Of these old resi-
dents of the past TO their descendants. for we
are still a young country and time Is not suf-
ficent as yet to sanctify. but 1t Is noticeable
that only one Brown and five Smiths are men
