ALAN STEVENSON, _Engineer_.

_Edinburgh_, _1st January 1848_.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.

THE COMMISSIONERS OF NORTHERN LIGHTHOUSES _have resolved to publish, on 1st January annually, for the use of Mariners, a Descriptive List of all the Lighthouses, Beacons, and Buoys under their charge, giving the characteristic appearance and correct bearings of each._

MARINERS _are particularly requested to notice, that they should_ NEVER PURCHASE _any List_ EXCEPT THAT FOR THE YEAR CURRENT _at the time of purchase. As changes may have taken place, no reliance can be placed on any List which has been published for a preceding year._

PUBLISHERS _are particularly cautioned not to sell any List which has been published on a preceding year. Arrangements have been made with the Publishers of the Board, that all copies remaining on hand with any Publisher, at the close of any year, will be exchanged for the New Issue; and all Publishers are_ MOST PARTICULARLY REQUESTED _not to retain on hand any copies of a past issue._

_By Order of the Board_,

ALEX. CUNINGHAM, _Secretary_.
