As a number ol families are still in the
country, and it is not generally known who
arereturned. T. Dobfon, solicits the favor
of the subscribers to call or fend for their vo
lume?, that they may be supplied as early as
poifible.
The Publi flier embraces this opportunity of
expressing his grateful acknowledgments to
the generous public, for the very liberal pa
tronage with which his undertaking has been
honored; at the fame time be takes the li
berty of representing to such-os tire subscribers
as are in arrears, the indifpenfible necefllty of
punctuality, both in taking up the volumei as
early as poflib.e after publication, and of pay
ing for them when taken. Many of the sub
scribers having got only one, two, three, &t.
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 Publiflier under
very serious embarrafTinent, and deprives him
of the use of many Thoufandsnf Dollars which
at this time would be of very efTential service.
For tUefe reason* the Publisher finds himfelf
under the necefllty of recurring 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.
The TiNri volume of the Encyclopedia is
now presented to the public ; but as it makes
its appearance in an imperfed state, some ac
count of the reason of that imperfection should
be i2,iven. 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 figures, with
which he was printing the tables or lo
garithms, belonging to the present volume,
were melted down by the violence of the fire.
As a supply of these could not be immediately
obtained, he was under the necefllty of pub
lifliing the volume without these taeles; but
hopes he shall be able to publish them with the
next volume which is now in considerable for-
wardnefs.
