An Indian hatchet made of chryftal : It is
curious that those uninformed wild people, hav
ing very little knowledge of the arts, and being
ignorant even ol the existence of iron and steel,
(hould be able to form such hard substances in
to fanciful forms as this, and other Indian ma
nuta&ures now in the Mufeuro.

count of the reason of that imperfection ftiould
be given. On the Bth of September last, the
Publisher 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 fiquies, with
which he was printing the tables of lo
garithms, belonging to the preterit volume,
were melted down by the violence of the fire.

li filing tlie volume without thele tablks; bat
hopes he (hall be able to publifb them with the
next volume which is now in confideraMe for-
wardnefs.
The Publisher embraces this opportunity of
his grateful acknowledgments to
the generous public, for the very libei al pa
tronage with which his undertaking has been
honored; at the fame time he takes the li
berty of reprelenting to such of the fubferibers
as are in arrears, the indifpenfible necessity of
punctuality, both in taking up ihe volumes as
early as possible after publication, and of pay
ing for them when taken. Many of the fuh
fcribers 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 unpaid lays the Publisher under
very serious embarraflment, and deprives him
of the use of many Thousands of Dollars which
at this time would be of very essential service.
For these reasons the Publisher 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 o4*publication.
