The Publi flier embraces this opportunity Of
exprefllng his grateful acknowledgments fa
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 fucb of the subscribers
as are in arrears, the indifpenfiMe neceflity of
punctuality, both in taking up (he volumes as
early as pofGble after publication, and of pay
in; for them when taken. Many of the sub
scribers having got only one, two, three, fee.
volumes, aud several volumes remain unpaid.
Thus the work hangs in all its different ft ages
from the 'commencement; and though lift im
portance of a fe\¥ dollars may be but a trifle
to the individuals, yet the accumulation of
these trifles V*fp*lD lays the Publiflier under
very serious embarraffinent, and deprives him
of the use of many Thousands of Dollars which
at this time would be of very efienttnl service.
For these reasons the Publisher finds himfelf
under the neceflity ofrecurfing to the original
terms of publication, and in future no vo
lumes will be delivered but only to thole who
take and pay-to the time of publication,
December 10. MwtiJ.
The tbwth roivMx of the Encyclopedia is
now presented to tiie public ; but as it makes
it* appearance in an imperfect state, some ac
count of the reafort of that impetfe&ion ftiould
be given. On the Bth of September last, the
Piibliflier had the misfortune of having his
Printing-office butnt down by a fire which
broke out in the neighbourhood, and a great
quantity of his printing materials destroyed,
and among other articles, the fiouees, with
which he was printing the tables or lo
oaßitkms, belonging to the present volume,
were melted down by the violence of the fire.
As afupply of these could not be immediatefy
obtained, he was under the neceflity of pub
lifting the volume without these tables; but
hopts he? (hall be able to pubiifli tb«m with the
ne*t volume which is now in considerable for
wardnfefs.
HTMIS volume contains principles ofLeveN,
