| Summary | "The Norwich Directory; or, Gentlemen and Tradesmen's Assistant" by Chase is a practical directory written in the late 18th century. This publication serves as an essential resource for the residents of Norwich, providing an extensive list of its inhabitants, their addresses, and occupations, alongside a wealth of related information pertinent to the city's infrastructure and services. The opening of the directory clearly outlines its purpose and utility, arguing for the necessity of an organized reference to facilitate navigation and commerce in a bustling urban environment. It discusses the inadequacy of existing methods for locating residents and businesses, and proposes improvements to public infrastructure as part of the need for modernization. In addition to the alphabetical listing of addresses and professions, the introduction sets the stage for a thoughtful exploration of public improvements aiming to enhance both functionality and aesthetics in Norwich.
