THE PUBLISHERS of the "CHINA DIRECTORY," encouraged by the support they last year received, have the pleasure of submitting to the Public the new issue for 1861. Considerable care has been bestowed upon its compilation, so as to render it worthy of public approval; and although it is difficult to procure accurate information, owing to the migratory character of the residents, it is believed that comparatively few mistakes have been made. The Chinese names have been revised; and it is hoped that both to the stranger and resident, the work will be found useful. The Appendix contains all the recent Treaties with China and Japan that have been published.
The Publishers have to express their obligations to their correspondents at Shanghae, Fuochow, Amoy, Swatow, Macao, and Manila, and also to their friends in this colony, for the aid they have afforded. No returns have been received from Japan.
