The Publisher embraces this opportunity of
exprefling his grateful acknowledgments to
the generous public, for the very literal pa
tronage with which his undertaking has been
honored; at the fame time he takes the li
berty of representing to such of the fubferibers
as are in arrears, the indifpenfible necessity of
punctuality, both in taking up ihe volumes as
early as poflible after publication, and of pay
ing for them when taken. Many of the fub
feribers having got only one, two, three, &rc.
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 tne individuals, yet the accumulation of
these trifles unpaid lays the Publisher under
very serious embarraifmetit, and deprives hiui
of the use of many Thousands of Dollars whicfc
at this time would be of very eifcntial fervictr.
For tliefe reasons the Publisher finds himfejf
under the necessity 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.
