| [quoted in part]: "We can not but feel
a considerable degree of pride, in having the pleasing task devolve upon
us of presenting you with the first Mountain Town Directory that has ever
made its appearance in this State. . . . The compilation of a Directory,
even for an ordinary town or city, is a work of considerable magnitude.
Ours are no ordinary towns, they have sprung into existence within the
past few years; and now having a large and rapidly increasing population
- - a great portion of which is transitory - - i.e. labor in a work of
the kind is necessarily much increased. That we needed a Directory, none
can doubt - - as our rapidly extending streets and thoroughfares, and
numerous dwellings will testify. Then, without further prelude, we beg
to present you with the Nevada [City], Grass Valley and Rough and Ready
Directory - - Volume Number One. . . . . Brown & Dallison, Nevada
[City]. 31st Dec., 1855." (unquote)
