a number of 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
lumes, that they may be supplied as early as
po/fible.
The tsnth volume o! the Encyclopedia is
now presented to the public ; but as it makes
it) appearance in an iinperfcft ftatc, some ac
count ot the real'on of that imperfection Ihould
a the September last, the
rublijher had the misfortune of having his
Printing-office burnt down by a fire which
btoke out in the neighbourhood, and a great
quantity «>f his printing materials deftroved
and among other articlos, the riounES, 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
ebtained, he was under the neceflity of pub
' n g the volume without the:e tables; but
hopes he (hall be ahle to publilh them with the
next volume which is now in considerable for
wardnefs.
The Publisher embraces this opportunity of
exprelling his grateful acknowltdgments to
the generous public, for the very liberal pa
tronage with which his undertaking has been
honored; at the fame rime he takes the li
berty of representing to f'uch of the fubfci ibers
[ as are in arrears, the indifpenfible neceflity of
punctuality, both in takinj up ihe volumes as
early as pofHble after publication, and of pay
ing for them when taken. Many of the fub
(bribers having got only one, two, three, &:c.
volumes, and several volumes remain unpaid
Thus the work hangs in all its different ltages
from the commtmemunt; 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 Publilher under
very serious emharraflment, and deprives him
of the ule of many Thonfands of Dollars which
at this time would be of verv eflential service
For these reasons the Publilher finds himfelf
under the neceflity of recurring to the original
terms of nublication, and in future no vo
lumes will be delivered but only to those who
take and pay to the time ot publication.
