From the French of de St. Pierre.
" IH-E above Stories have been lately pub
lifticd, -mongft the works of a very different
nature, by M. de St. Picrie, who rtfided in the
country which it deferibes, and was well ac
quainted with the principal fass. Its orna
ments are the Landscape — the Climate—and
ihe natural history of the Torrid Z«>ne, obler
vrd with the eye of Taste, and delineated with
the eye of Phtlofophical knowledge. It is a
P.iftoral, of which the table and the machine
ry may be said to be eqnally real. To these are
added, the pure vein of Moral I iftrudlion, aftd
the Sublime Ideas of M. de St. Pierre."

The Publisher embraces this opportunity of
exprefling his grateful acknowledunients 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 to such of the subscribers
as are in arrears, the indifpenfible necessity of
punctuality, both in-taking up the volumes ai
early as poflrble after publication, and of pay
ing for them when taken. Many of the sub
scribers having got only one, two, three,
volumes, and several volumes remain unpaid.
Thus the work hangs in all its different stages
from the commencement; and though the im
portance of a few dollars may be but a trifle
to the individuals, yet the accumulation of
these trifles xjnp/id lays the Publiiher under
very serious embarraflment,and deprives him
of the ufeof many Thoufands«f Dollars which
at this time would be of very essential service.
For these reasons the Publiiher finds himfelt
under the neceflity of recurring to the original
terms of publication, and in future no vo
lumes will be delivered but only to those who
take and pay to the time of publication.
