As a number of faotilies 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
podible.
The t rnth tolu m * of the Encyclopedia is
now presented to the pubhc; but as it makes
its appearance in an impcrfeft state, foine ac
count of the reason of that imperfection ihould
be jiivett. On the Bth of September last, the
Publisher had the misfortune of having his
Printing Oifice 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 riquRES, with
which he was printing the tables or Ld-
Oa rithms, belonging to the prei'ent volume,
were melted down by the violence of the fire.
As a supply of these could not be immediately
obtained, he was under the neceflity of pub
lifhing the volume without 'he e tables; but
hopes he fhallbe able to publish the in with the
next volume which is now in considerable for-
wardnefs.
The Publiflier embraces this opportunity of
exprelfing 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 representing to such of the fubferibers
as are in arrears, the indifpenfible ne'eeflity of
puntfuaiity, both in taking up the volumes as
early as jmffityle after publication, and of pay
ing for them when taken. Many of the fub
feribers having got only One, two, threr, &rc.
volumes, and several volumes remain ukp aid.
Thus the work hangs in all Its diflerenUtages
from the commencement j and though the im
portance of a few dollars may be but a trifle
to the individuals, yet the accumulation of
these trifles iwpmd lays the Publiflier under
very serious cmbarr ailment, and deprives him
of the use of many Thoufauds of Dollars which
at this ti&e would be of very essential service.
For these reasons the Publiflier finds himfelf
under the neceflity of recurring to the original
terms of publication, and in future no vo
lumes wi|jbe delivered but only to tho(b \frho
take and pay to the time of publication.
