Thinking it convenient to have a list of the Princeps Oppidani from A.D. 1815 (when this ledger was first started) & thinking it might be interesting in some measure to posterity, either for a reference, or to satisfy the curious, I have traced them as accurately as I could to the present time, & hoping that if any future Prin Opp. should see any mistake he will excuse it, & take the trouble to alter it, I subscribe the following list.
