Description: The Boston Directory: Containing the Names of the Inhabitants, their Occupations, Places of Business, and Dwelling-Houses. Also, a List of the Town Officers, Public Offices, Banks, &c. Boston: John West, 1803. Contemporary blue wraps. 148 pp. Folding map of Boston at title page. Among the residents listed are John Quincy Adams (attorney at law), Paul Revere, and Rev. William Emerson, father of Ralph Waldo Emerson (who coincidentally was born in 1803). Wraps heavily worn, with curling at the corners, some soiling and stains, and some inked notes to front and rear. Much of the paper covering the spine is gone. The lower right corner of the cover and the first several leaves appears to be scorched at the edge, although no loss to text. The map is foxed and has some splits at several folds. Small closed tear at the fore-edge of the first several leaves from being thumbed. Light to moderate foxing throughout. Corners with some curling and dog-earing. Shipped free in the US, at cost outside the US via eBay's International Shipping. Please contact me with questions.
