The rtMTH TOLUK* of the Encyclopedia'.ii now prefentfcd to the public; but as it makes its appearance in an imperfect state, some ac count of the reason of that iinperfe&ion should be given. On the Bth of September last, tlie Publi(her 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 figuiej, with which he was printing the Ta»lis or lo garithms, belonging to the present volume, were melted down by th# violence nf Hi* firr. As a supply of these could uot be immediately obtained, he was under tlie necefllty of pub lifliing the volume without tlie'e TAsits; but Itopes he ftiall Ik able to publish them with the next volume which is n»w in conirrterable for wardnel's. The Pithlifher embraces this opportunity of exprefiing his grateful acknowledgments to th® generous public, lor the very liberal pa rronage with which his undertaking has been honored; at the fame time he takes the li berty of representing to foch of the fubfci iben as are in arrears, the indiipenfiblf neceffi-y of punctuality, both in taking up tl,g \olumes as early as pollible after publicatibn, aiid of pay ing for them when taken. Many of the ftth fcribers having got only one, two, th; ee, &c. volumes, and leveral volumes remainvKPnip. Thus the work hangs in all its different ftagc* from the commencement; and though the im portance nf a few dollars may be but a trifle to the individuals, yet the accumulation of these trifles vwmd lays th« Publiflier ttndet very serious finbarrafimeor, «hd deprives bint of the ule of many ThoKlandsof Dollars which at this time would be of very efleotial service. For these realoiis the Publllhtr finds hitnfetf under the necessity of recurring to the or! jitial terms of publication, and in future no vo lumes will he delivered but onlv to those wit* take and pay to the time of publication, Dcrember u. t&rtf Philadelphia, Nov. si, 1793.
