/ lie Publilher embraces this opportunity of
expreiTing 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 reprefcn.ting to such of the fubferibers
as are in arrears, the indifpenfible necefiity of
punctuality, both in taking up "he volumes as
early as poffibie after publication, and of pay
ing for them when taken. Many of the fub
feribers having not only one, two, three, &c,
volumes, and several volumes remain unpaid.
Thus the work hangs in all its different stages
from the commencement; and though the iim
portance of a few dollars may be but a trifle
to the individuals, yet the accumulation of
these trifles unpaid lays the Publilher under
very serious embarraflment,and deprives him
of the use of many Thoufandsof DolJars which
at this time would be of very cflential service.
For these reasons the Publilher finds himfelf
under the necellity of recurring to the original
terms of publication, and in future no vo
lumes will be delivered but onjy to those who
take and pay to the time of publication.

X ie TtNTH volume of the Encyclopedia is

its appearance in an impcrfeft state, some ac
cotmr of the eafon of that impe fedtion should

Pub'i/her had the misfortune ps having his
Printing- OtSce 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, heionging to the preient volume,
were melted down by the v iolence of the fire.
A ; a supply of these could not be immediately
obtained, he was under the necessity of pub
lifhing the volume without the ie tables; but
hopes he /hall be able to publilh them with the
next volume which is now in considerable for-
wai d tefs.
A; a number of families are still in the
country, and it is not generally known who
a "ere' urned. T. Dobfoo, solicits the favor
