The tf.nth volume of the Encyclopedia is
now presented to the public ; but as it makes
its appearance in an imperfect state, some ac
count of the reason of that imperfedlion should
be given. On the Bth of September last, the*
Publifker 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 o flier articles, the figures, with
which he was printing the tables of lo
garithms, belonging to the present volume,
were melfcd down by the violence of the fire.
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 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 reprefen ting to l'uch of the subscribers
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 sub
scribers having got only one, two, thiee, &:c.
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 unpmd lays the Publisher under
very serious embarraflment,and deprives him
of the ufeof many Thoufonds of Dollars which
at this time would be of very eflential fervioe.
For tbefe reasons the Publisher finds himfelf
under the necessity of recurring to the original
terms of publication, 3nd in future no vo
lumes will be delivered but only to those who
take and pay to the time of publication.
Cj~ Terms of Subscription for this
Gazette, are Six Dollars per annnm—to be
paid half-yearly. Subscriptions of perfotis
