PUBLISHER'S NOTE.

There has long been considerable dubiety, even in

the minds of those most intimately acquainted with

the history and antiquities of the city, as to the year

in which the first Edinburgh Directory appeared.

This has been partly due to the extreme rarity of

the volume in question, and partly to the am-

biguity of the advertisement on the cover of the

Directory for 1775-6—itself very rare—in which it

is stated that " the Edinburgh Directory has nowbeen published for three years," without its being

made clear whether or not the issue of that year is

taken into account.

It therefore seems fitting to preface this facsimile

reprint of the first edition by a few words as to the

discovery of its original, the evidence of its being

the first, and the circumstances connected with the

publication of the book by Peter Williamson in 1773.

The original volume, which is here reproduced

by photo-lithography, was purchased by me in

London in the present year at the sale of the

library of a Scottish collector. It was found in

excellent preservation, with the original blue paper

covers, and containing the autograph signatures of

two such noted bibliographers as the Rev. Dr JohnLee and Dr David Laing—the former having

Page 12: Williamson's directory for the City of Edinburgh

vi Publisher 's Note.

apparently become its possessor in 1824, the latter in

1863, as these dates follow their respective names.

Curiously enough, neither of these gentlemen noted

upon the book the fact of its being the first edition;

perhaps neither felt sufficiently sure of its being so.

On securing it, the first question that arose was,

whether or not one had become owner of the much

sought for "editio princeps," and an enquiry through

the columns of The Scotsman fortunately produced

the desired information. Mr John Glen, of Edin-

burgh, having been engaged in searching the file of

The Caledonian Mercury in the Advocates' Library,

in another connection, had come upon the earliest

advertisements of Peter Williamson in regard to

his venture, and luckily had carefully noted their

dates. After a little correspondence, he very

courteously placed his memoranda at my disposal,

and I was thus enabled to settle definitely that the

first "City Directory" was that for the year 1773-4,

which I had in my possession. Williamson's ad-

vertisements ran as follows ; first in The Caledonian

Mercury of 6th June 1773

" In the press and will be published at Whitsunday week,

The Edinburgh New Pocket Companion or City

Directory, distinctly pointing out every householder's

name, place of abode, trade, and traffic, within the

city and suburbs, Leith, Canongate &c.—Gentle

men who are to flit this term, will please send their

names and place of abode to Peter" Williamson,

Printer, head of Forrester's Wynd, who will insert

them in this directory."

WILLIAMSON'S DIRECTORYFor the City of Edinburgh, Canongate, Leith, and

Suburbs. From the 25th of May 1773, to the 25th

of May 1774.

CONTAINING

An ALPHABETICAL LIST of the Names and Places

of Abode of all the Members of the College of

Justice, public and private Gentlemen, Merchants,

and other eminent Traders, Mechanics, and all

persons in public business. Where, at one view,

you have a plain direction, pointing out the streets,

wynds, closes, lands, and other places their residence

in and about this Metropolis. Together with

Separate Lists of the Magistrates, Court of Session,

and Court of Exchequer ; the Constables of Edin-

burgh, Canongate, and Leith ; Carriers, &c."

A search through the file for the preceding year

having revealed no notice of any such publication,

it must be concluded that the " three years " re-

ferred to in the volume for 1775-6 include the issue

of that year, and that the above are the first

announcements. Interesting confirmation of this

is obtained, however, by reference to the advertise-

ment appended to the volume here reprinted, for it

will be seen that it is not only couched in language

Page 14: Williamson's directory for the City of Edinburgh

viii Publisher s Note.

suitable to a first venture, but that in it the publisher

apologizes for omissions, due to many having

" scruples of giving information, as they imagined

it was for another purpose he was taking up their

names,"—such scruples being of course much less

likely to exist after the nature and purpose of the

publication had been made manifest by its appear-

ance before the public.

It may be stated, in passing, that the entire

population of the city and Leith about this date has

been estimated at fully 80,000 ; more than usually

accurate data having been obtained for the enumera-

tion from a survey taken in 1775 in connection with

the Road Tax ; and also, that the unpopularity of the

visitation made in this connection no doubt served to

augment the difficulties experienced by Williamson.

The long sought for Directory having been

found, the possibility of obtaining the Appendix,

promised to subscribers in the supplementary

advertisement above quoted, next came under

consideration. It seemed almost hopeless to look

for it, as the volume itself had been so hard

to find ; but just then one of those pieces of

good fortune happened, which at rare intervals

come to book-collectors. The Library of James

Cadell, Esq., at Carron Park, West Lothian, being

under arrangement by one of my assistants, a second

copy of the Directory, in perfect preservation,

and with the desired supplement, was found on the

Page 15: Williamson's directory for the City of Edinburgh

Publisher's Note. ix

shelves. It had been placed there by William

Archibald Cadell, grand-uncle of the present owner,

and by him carefully cased in cloth, and dated; and

its owner, immediately on its discovery, most kindly

consented to lend the valuable little volume, that

the Appendix might be reproduced along with the

book. The reprint is therefore placed before the

reader complete, as at first published.

The following facts regarding Peter Williamson,

to whose enterprise the city first owed this useful

publication, may be of interest. He was a man of

very varied experience, and of much energy and

versatility, and has left the record of his Life and

Curious Adventures, penned by himself.

From it we gather that he was born about 1730 ;

that he was a native of the parish of Aboyne, Aber-

deenshire ; and that, while a mere child, he was kid-

napped at Aberdeen and carried to America, where

he was sold as a slave and subjected to the most

cruel hardships. He relates in his book, at consider-

able length, the story of his misfortunes, and especi-

ally of his terrible sufferings at the hands of the

Indians, and at the same time conveys to the reader

much interesting information regarding scenes and

people but little known in his day. On his return

to his native land in 1756, the publication of his

Curious Adventures brought him into collision with

the Magistrates of Aberdeen, he having charged the

Page 16: Williamson's directory for the City of Edinburgh

x Publisher 's Note.

" worthy merchants " of the town with engaging in

the infamous trade of kidnapping children. Onbeing brought before them he was forced to declare

his statement untrue, but soon found that his having

done so did not prevent his being both fined and

expelled from the town. He appealed to the Court

of Session, however, and was there exonerated, his

charge being only too true, and received ^ioo in

damages from the Magistrates. He then settled

in Edinburgh, where he for some time carried on the

business of a vintner ; but, as will be seen by refer-

ence to the note on page 91 of the Directory, he

ultimately relinquished it for the more congenial

employment of a printer, and from his press, in

addition to the series of Directories and his volume of

Adventures, issued a weekly paper named The Scots

Spy, and several excellent books, including more than

one edition of the Scottish version of the Psalms.

One would think that Williamson's share of mis-

fortunes had been ample, and that his later years

would have been left undisturbed ; but it was not so,

for in 1789 we find a volume appearing entitled

" The Trial of Divorce at the instance of Peter

Williamson, printer in Edinburgh, against Jean

Wilson, daughter of John Wilson, bookseller, Edin-

burgh, his spouse."

It will be noted that the said John Wilson's name

appears on the title-page which follows this preface.

Perhaps that which as much as his Directory

Page 17: Williamson's directory for the City of Edinburgh

Publisher's Note. xi

displays the versatility of Williamson, and proves

him to have been ahead of his time, is his having

successfully organised a system of penny postage

for letters and parcels throughout the city, and Leith.

On the appearance of his second Directory,

which, by the way, he says, " contains 4000 names

more than last year's, and is upon an entire new

plan," he adds:

" N.B.—The public may depend, that Letters, &c. , will

be regularly sent by the Penny Post, to Leith, or any

place within an English mile of the cross of Edin-

burgh, every hour thro' the da)', a number of hands

being kept for that purpose ; and the different offices

for taking in Williamson's Penny Post letters, are all

inserted in the Directory."

From the wording of this advertisement, it is

evident that the system was already, to some extent,

known to the citizens, and it is likely that the visita-

tion for the first Directory suggested the idea to him.

His scheme succeeded, and, as usual in such cases,

his success brought competition into the field, for he

states on the cover of the Directory for 1775-6 that

he " did not long continue without many rivals,"

and that " The multiplicity of penny post-offices,

which were constantly starting up, distracted Public

attention," and he therefore requests the citizens to

entrust him alone with their correspondence, giving

the following information and directions :

" Peter Williamsop thinks it a duty he owes himself, to

inform the public, that all the offices belonging to

Page 18: Williamson's directory for the City of Edinburgh

xii Publisher's Note.

him, are mentioned in the last page of this Directory,

and that every letter, delivered by any of his men, is

stamped with these words : Penny Post Paid ; or,

Penny Post not Paid. If any letter shall be offered

by the Penny Post, without such stamp, they are

entreated not to pay for it, as such a practice might

encourage the men to circumvene their master, who

is obliged to pay them their wages weekly, whether

the office yields himself so much or not, which he is

sorry to say, is some weeks the case. By persever-

ance, however, he still hopes to succeed. He begs

leave to assure the public of the safety and expedi-

tion of letters or parcels intrusted to his care ; or to

any of the offices he has appointed in different parts

of the town for the conveniency of the Public : as, if

properly directed, they cannot fail of being speedily

delivered."

Amidst much discouragement, Williamson con-

tinued both this service and the issue of his Direc-

tories for several years, and it is satisfactory to be

informed that he received a small pension from

Government on its taking over the postal arrange-

ments of the city. His death occurred early in 1799.

Before concluding these brief notes, I desire to

express my thanks to Mr Cadell and Mr Glen,

before mentioned, and also to Mr Wm. Cowan, the

present owner of the first discovered copy of the

Directory, for their aid in bringing together the

materials for this reprint, and the facts connected

with its original publication.

ADVERTISEMENT.* I « H E Pul)li(her of this Directory has endeavour-

JL cd to fuj>ply the frequent complaints of itrangers,

as well as the Citizens, in taking upon him the arduous

tafk of compiling a Complete Guide, for the eafy find-

ing out every inhabitant, of the lead note, in this me-tropolis and fuburbs.

But, as the difficulty of a private perfon'.s knowing

every one and his connections, without the affiftancc

of the people themfelves, muft be apparent to every

one ; it cannot be expected, but that Come errors and o-

miifions will appear, which he hopes the indulgent pub-

lic willexcufe ; notwithftanding, the publisher did makean actual furvey of almofl every houfe in Edinburgh,

with a view to be as exact as pofTible, but many had

fcruples of giving information, as they imagined it

was for another purpofe he was taking up their names.

Therefore, to render this Directory complete, there

will be an Appendix printed, andgivengratis to the pur*chafers of this, about the fir ft of Auguft next, recti-

fying the miftakes (if any be) wherein the names of

thofe that have been omitted in this fliall be carefully

inferted, and the publifher will take it kind to have

written information on this occafion, that the Appen-dix and the fubfequent editions may be as complete

as pofTible.

As this Directory will annually require reprinting,

on account of removals, deaths, new partneifhips, and

other accidents, the publifher hopes, that thofe whoare to move will give him proper notice thereof, be-

fore the firft of May next, that they may be infertedaccordingly.
