THE Editor of the following fheets flatters himfelf that it is unneceffary to make any apology for publishing them.  A Directory in fuch a large and populous City muft be of the greateft utility to the Citizens, and likewife to Strangers, by having a proper direction to the lodgings, warehouses, counting-rooms, and fhops, of the Merchants, Manufacturers, Traders, and Shop-keepers, within the City of Glafgow.
The Editor humbly relies upon the candour of the encouragers of this publication, with refpect to any omiffions or miftakes which may have unobfervedly and unavoidably crept into it during the time of printing; and, it being his firft performance of the kind, folicits the indulgence of the Public.
 
This copy of the Nathaniel Jones Directory is divided between three web pages: 
  1. The "Introduction" to the centenary reprint of the Nathaniel Jones Directory.
  2. This page: The "Lists" of City officials and businesses.
  3. The "Directory" itself - an alphabetical list of the "names and places of abode of the merchants, manufacturers, traders and shop-keepers in and about Glasgow"  (in 1787).

N.B. To retain as much of the "feeling" of the original as possible, words have been spelt exactly as they appear in the original. The typewritten letter "f" has been used, therefore, to replace the letter "s" where the old convention dictated that "s" should be written in that style. The occupation of saddler would therefore appear as faddler; masons would appear as mafons; a flax-dresser would appear as a flax-dreffer etc. At the end of the day, what you see is as close as possible, using standard type, to what you would see had the whole thing been scanned in as images.
