Item description from seller

Americana and American History, Social History, Most Recent Listing; 168 pages; Boston: Poor. 1809. First Edition Thus. 168 pages; Printed by Munroe, Francis & Parker. Disbound, lacking original wrappers and initial/final blanks, top 1/4" to 1" missing from first six leaves with some loss of text, top edge of last few leaves eroded at top margin, map missing 1/2" - 1 1/2" strip along top edge. A very flawed example of this scarce Boston directory published in 1809.
