He continues to make and repair at the

such as coaches, phaetons with and
without crane necks, co*hees, chaises, kitte

of every defcription,in the neatest and new-eft

And as he has a quantity of the best seasoned

not the least doubt but he will be able to give

He has for fak, several carriages almost

lifhing the volume without ihefe tables; lmt
hopes he (hall be able to publish them with the
next volume which is now in conliderable for-
wardnefs.
The Publisher embraces this opportunity of
expreflirtg his 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 to such of the fubferibers
as are in arrears, the indifpenfiWe necessity of
punctuality, both in taking up the volumes as
early as pofOble after publication, and of pay
ing for them when taken. Many oftlie fub
feribers having got only one, two, three, &:«.
volumes, and several volumes remain unpaid.
Thus the work hangs in all its differentiates
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 unpaid lays the Publisher under
very serious embarrassment, and deprives him
of the use of many Thousands of Dollars which
at this time would be of very eflential fervict.
For these reasons the Publilher finds himfeJt
under the neceflity of reciFring 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.
