a in the year 1889 comes to us with the
! New Years good wishes of Grosvenor Dewitt
| Marcy. There are but couple of handfuls
of names in the book, but the quality of
them is something to brag about. For in
stance first crack out of the box, page
one, this leads all the rest:
Adams, Samuel Esq, Winter street,
The maker of the book was apparently
n bit of a hero worshiper for he pays no
attention whatever to alphabetical order, but
puts forward the best men of the town under
their respective initials. Big as life as be-
fits the patriot who sign painted his sig
nature flamboyantly upon the Declaration
of Independence, at the top of the lis
stands
Hancock. john Esq, Governour, Beacon
street.
The little book is rich in these things but
venture the belief that Philadelphia
Directory of the same period, If we could
get hold Of it, would prove richer. There
were big doings in this old town in and
about 1889.
