as are in arrears, the indifpenfrble necefllry of
pun&uality, both in taking up (he volumes as
early as portible after publication, and of pay

fcribers having got only one, two, thiee, See.
volumes, and several volumes remain vkpaid.
Thus the work hangs in all its different Cages
from the coaunencemcr.t; and though the im
portance of a few dollars may be but a trifle
to the individuals, yet the accumulation of
these triples unpaid fays the Publisher under
very feriou* embarraflment, and deprives him
of the use of many Thonfands of Dollars which
at this time would be of very eflential service.
For tbefc reasons the Publilher finds himfelf

take and pay to the time of publication.
