The Publiflier embraces this opportunity of
exprefiing 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 fiich of the fubferibers
as are ita arrears, the indifpenfible neceflity of
pun&uality, both in taking: up the volumes as
early as pofliWe after publication, and oi pay
ing for them when taken. Many of the sub
scribers having got only one, two, three, £rc.
volumes, and several volumes remain php a-id.
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 Publiflier under
very fei ious enibarraifment, and deprives Wm
of the use of many Thoufands«f Dollars which
at this time would be of very eflential service.
For tbefe reasons the Publi(her finds himfelf
