PREFACE.

THE Proprietors, in submitting to their Subscribers and the Public the Second Edition of the POST OFFICE DIRECTORY OF BRISTOL, GLOUCESTERSHIRE, Herefordshire, AND SHROPSHIRE, trust that it may be found to be equal in accuracy to the previous Edition.

Several additions have been made to the present volume: lists of Hundreds and Poor Law Unions have been included in the Topography of each County; it is stated under each Parish in what Hundred, Union and County Court District it is situated, as well as the Diocese, Archdeaconry and Rural Deanery, and the College and University of every Beneficed Clergyman have been given. The Post Office Savings Banks have been noticed; the names of the Parish Clerks are given under each Parish; lists of Farm Bailiffs of Gentlemen farming their own land have been added, and in the Maps the new lines of railways have been laid down.

The Proprietors have again to return their thanks to the Clergymen, Clerks of the Peace, Magistrates' Clerks, and other Gentlemen who have assisted the Agents while collecting the information.

An interval of seven years has occurred since the last publication, but many of the Subscribers having complained of the period as too long, the Publishers respectfully announce that the next Edition will be published at an early date.
