The tenth volum kof the Encyclopedia is

its appearance in an imperfect state, some ac
count of the reason of that imperfediou fliouid
be >iven. On the Bth of September last, the
Publiiher 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 deflroyed,
and among other articles, the figures, with
which he was printing the tables of lo
garithms, belonging to the present volume,
were melted down by the violence ot the tire.
As a supply of these could not be immediately
obtained, he was under the neceflity of pub

The Publisher embraces this opportunity of
expressing his grateful acknowledgments t#
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 ol the
as are in arrears, the indifpenfible necelTity of
punctuality, both in taking up the volumes as
early a? poflible after publication, and of pay
ing for them when taken. Many of the lub
fcribers having got only one, two, three,
volumes, and i'everal volumes remain unpaid-
Thus the work hangs in all its different ft age t
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 Publiftier under
very serious efihbarraffluent,and deprives him
of the use of many Thousands of Dollars whiefc
at this time would be of very eflential service.
For tlaefe reasons the Publilher finds himfelt
under the neceflitjr of recurring to the original
