A propos de cet article

First edition; 8vo, pp. [2] ads, 170; contemporary brown morocco over comb-marbled boards; some fading and scuffing but generally very good. From the Preface: "We present to our patrons a new City Directory, satisfied that it is as nearly correct as a thorough and systematic canvass could make it. In the Business Directory, all business firms, we think, are correctly represented, classified according to the business pursuits, and arranged in alphabetic order. The Appendix shows the different Associations, Public Buildings, Libraries, Ward Boundaries, Streets … Municipal Organizations, etc. In the Spring of 1864, we propose to publish another Directory, which we presume will receive the same liberal support…" Bailey joined forces with one Groff to publish the 1864 edition, after which no more were published in St. Paul. Prior to his coming to Saint Paul, Bailey published directories in Quincy, Illinois in 1861; and in 1862 he published one for Burlington, Iowa. Subsequently he published directories for Winona, Minnesota; La Crosse, Wisconsin; Milwaukee; Mansfield, Ohio; and Cleveland. Martin, Minnesota Imprints, 521; not in Sabin or Howes. Minnesota Historical is the only non-microfilm copy found in OCLC. N° de réf. du vendeur 19599
