VOLUME X. OF
Encyclopedia; or Dictionary
Of Arts, Sciences, and Miscellaneous
Literature, on a Plan entirely new ;
The Different Sciences and Arts,
are digejicd into the form of
Diftinft Treaties or Systems :
THIS volume contains principles of Levels,
Liberty, Doctrine of Light, Lightning,
Locks, Logarithms, Logic, History of Lon
don, Longitude, Luther, Lydia, Macedon,
Madagascar, Magic, Magnetism, Malts, His
tory of Man, Marriage, Mary, Maryland,
Masonry, Materia Medica, Meadow, Mecha
nics, with a great variety of Biographical and
Miscellaneous articles, illultrated with Twen-
TY TWO COPPERPLATES.
As a number of families are still in the
country, and it is not generally known who
areretuined. T. Dobfon, solicits the favor
of the subscribers to cell or fend for their vo
lumes, that they may be supplied as early as
possible.
The trnth volume of the
now presented te the public; but as it makes
its appearance in an impcrfeft state, some ac
count of the reason of that imperfection should
be given. On the Bth of September last, the
Publisher had the misfortune of having his
Printvng-Office burnt down by a fire which
broke out in the neighbourhood, and a great
quantity of his printing materials destroyed,
and among ether articles, the nouREJ, with
which he was printing the tables or to
oarithms, belonging to the present volume,,
were melted down by the violence of the fire.
As a supply of these could not b» immediately
obtained, he was under the neceflity of pub
lifting the volume without the e tables; but
hopes he (hall be able to publilh thein with the
next volume, which is now in considerable for-
eocl2w.
wardneft.
The Publilher embrace! this opportunity of
expressing his grateful acknowledgment* to
the generous public, for the very liberal pa•
tronage with which his undertaking has been
honored; at the fame time lie takes the li
berty of representing 10 filth of the fubferibers
as are in arrears, the indifpenfible necessity of
punctuality, botli in taking up ihe volumes as
early as poiTib!e after publication, and of pay
ing for them when taken. Many of the fub
feribers having got only one, two, three, &t.
volumes, and several volumes remain unpmb.
Tlius the work hangs in all its different (lager
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 vnpmd lays the Publilher ander
very serious emharislTnient, and deprives him
of the life of many Thousands "f Dollars which
at this time would be of very elfential fervlce.
For tbefe reasons the Pubiillier finds himfelf
under the necessity of recurring to the original
terms of publication, and in future no vo
lumes will be delivered hut only to those wh®
take and pay to the time of publication.
