At No. 118, Marltt Jlrcct,
A Large and Valuable
And now opening for lale, by
MATHEW CAREY,
fuft Imported,
The Publilher embraces this opportunity of
exprefling hit grateful acknowledgments to
the generous public, for the very liberal pa _
tronage with which his undertaking has been
honored; at the fame time he takes the li
berty of representing ,o fiich of the subscribers
as are in arrears, the indifpenfible necefllty of
pnnftuality, both in taking up ,he volume, as
ejrly as poflible after publication, and of pay
mg for them wj.en taken. Many of the full
fcribers having got only one, two, three, 1-c.
volumes, and several volumes remain unpaid
Thus the work hangs in all its different stages
trom the comnicn«ein«nt; and though the im
portance of a few dollars may be but a trifle
to the individuals, yet the accumulation of
these trifles iwmd lays the Publilher under
very ftrious «mbarraflme>rt, and deprives him
of the nfe of many Thousands of Dollars which
at (hit time would be of very eflential ferrice
For these reasons the Publilher finds himfelf
under the neceflity of recurring to the original
terms of publication, and ia future no vo
lumes will be delivered but »nlv to thsfe who
take and pay to the time of publication.

The tenth tolumi of the Eiievdlooedia is
now presented to the public ; but as it makes
its appearance in an impcrfeft state, some ac
count ot the reason of that imperfection fliould
be jiren. On the Bth of September last, tlie
Pubhlher had the misfortune of having his
Printing-Office burnt down by a fire which
broke out in the neighbourhood, and a great
quantity of his printing materials destroyed
and among other articles, the Ftouiis, with
which he was printing the ta»lu or lo
oaritkmi, belonging to the present volume,
were melted down by the violence of the fire
As a supply of these could not be immediately
obtained, lie was under the neceflity of pi ,b
liming the volume without the e tajlei; but
hopes he (hall be able to publilh them with tin
next volume which is now io conliderable for
wardnefs.
As a number o» families are still in the
country, and it is not generally known who
arereturned. T. Dobfon, (elicits the favor
o« the fubfenbers to call or fend for their vo
lumes, that they may be supplied as early as
poihble. J
