SAN FRANCISCO:
PUBLISHED BY JAMES M. PARKER,
Office in Parsons' New Building, No 138 and 140 Clay Street.
1852
Monson, Haswell & Co., Printers, Montgomery St.
Entered according to Act of Congredd, in the year 1852, by James M. Parker, in the
Clerk's Office, of the District Court, of the District of the State of California
TO OUR PATRONS.

 
     We would apologize for the delay in the issue of our work, did we not know
that apologies, like comparisons, are sometimes odious, so sickness, in the first
instance, and the well known scarcity of paper more latterly, are all we shall
urge.  We will say but little of the many difficulties attendant on the compilation
of a work of this kind, in a community like the present, as we flatter ourselves
those difficulties are, in a measure, overcome by the appearance of this volume,
and we hope in our future issues, to avoid or correct, all the errors of the present.

     The canvas was as thorough as could be made, under the circumstances, and
we have endeavored to keep pace with, and record, all removals and business
changes, up to the time of going to press, and, while upon this subject, we would
urge upon our merchants and business men, the necessity of acquainting us with
all such changes or removals, by letter or otherwise, in time for the issue of our
first "extra," on the first of January, 1853.

     We hope for a favorable consideration of our work - errors and all - from the
public, and we will endeavor, in our next issue, to do them justice.
