EXPLMATIONS.
As a general rule, the last word in the address of every letter, &c., should be the name
of the Post-office from which the letter is to be delivered, and the Directory has
been prepared with a view to give in each case the postal address a letter
should bear to ensure direct transmission to its destination. The names of the Sub
Post-offices are added in italics, and the name of the County is given, in the instances
in which it is requisite or desirable that this should form part of the address.
It may not be unnecessary to mention, that letters for Scotland, posted in England
or Ireland, should have the name of the Country, or the letters " N. B.," added to the
other part of the address.
Throughout the First Part of the Directory, the postal address appears between
the colons, after the name of the residence, and this is followed by the name of the
owner or occupant. In the Second Part, this order is reversed, the name of the owner
or occupant appearing first, followed by the residence and postal address.
The names of the Post Towns and Sub-offices in Scotland (distinguishing Money
Order Offices and Savings Banks) are inserted in the First Division of the Directory in
the order in which they occur in the alphabetical arrangement. 1
