It provides an alphabetical, nationwide register of post offices, noting their townships or parishes, electoral counties or divisions, provincial abbreviations, and the name of each postmaster. It also marks offices that handle money orders or act as savings banks and appends foreign postage rates, with a prefatory roster of the Post Office Department’s principal officers and inspectors.

The opening of this directory presents a transcriber’s note about minor corrections, followed by the title information and a departmental memorandum asking postmasters to report any errors and announcing an appended list of foreign postage rates. It then lists the senior officials and regional inspectors of the Post Office Department. Next come usage notes explaining the italics for money order offices, asterisks for savings bank offices, and “W. O.” for way offices, plus province abbreviations. The directory proper begins with the A section and proceeds alphabetically—each line pairing a post office with its township or parish, electoral county or division, province, and postmaster—running from Abbott’s Corners onward through entries into the early E’s (ending at East Hawkesbury) in this excerpt.
