The Publisher Of the strangers guide TO liverpool trusts that the following pages will be found useful, not only as a silent Cicerone to the stranger, enabling him to spend, with plea sure and profit, a few days in this seat of commerce, but that they will Open up to the resident much that is interesting, as well as new. In compressing an account Of every public building, institu tion, and Object of note in Liverpool, into a space so small, as to enable the work to be afforded at a moderate price, care has been taken to omit nothing Of importance and the arrangement which has been adopted, is that best suited to the wants Of the stranger. For his special use an itinerary has been added, together with an appendix, containing such lists for reference as are most required. In connexion with the descriptive matter, interesting statistical information has been introduced whenever practicable or useful. This department might have been extended, but while we write the figures, the facts are changing, and it is, therefore, needless to give numbers of only present value.
