PREFACE:

In presenting to the public Grevilles Official Post Office Directory, the

publishers believe that the work will be found as perfect as it is possible a

book of reference of this kind can be made. The greatest amount of care has

been taken in its production; and although errors will of course be found

within its pages, the publishers trust that they will not be numerous, as no

labour or expense has been spared to make this Directory equal to anything of

the sort that has hitherto been submitted to the public.

One of the objects of the Publishers has been to make Grevilles Official Post

Office Directory a necessary work of reference to all classes of the

community; and, as the Publishers intend to continue the work from time to

time, they confidently look to the public for encouragement.

The Publishers have avoided including in this Directory the City and Suburbs of

Sydney, as the work issued yearly for several years past by Mr. John Sands is

all that can be wished for; and the Publishers venture to hope that the two

Directories will be found side by side on every desk and official table in the

Colony.

The present work comprises the whole of the Post Towns of the Colony of New

South Wales, arranged alphabetically, with their distances from Sydney, and the

names, addresses, and occupations of inhabitants.

In concluding this brief preface, the Publishers desire to convey their thanks

to S. H. Lambton, Esq., and the various officers of the Post Office Department,

for the courtesy they have at all times extended to the Compilers, and for the

promptitude with which they have rendered assistance in the collection of the

information necessary to the completion of Grevilles Official Post Office

Directory.
