T. Dobfon, foKcits the favor o* the fubferibers to call or fend for their vo lumes, that they may be supplied as early as poflible. The tenth volume of the Encyclopedia is now presented to the public ; but as it makes its appearance in an impcrfed state, forae ac count of the reason of that iinperfeftion ftiould be liven. On the Bfh of September last, the Publiftier 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 figures, with which he was printing the tables op lo garithms, l>e ; »ng ng to the present volume, were melted down by the violence of tlwfire. As a fupiily of these could not be immediately obtained, he was under the neceflity of pub liihing the volume without the e ta;les; but hoj>es he (hall be able to publish them with the next volume which is now in coniiderable for- w .i dnefs. The Publisher embraces this opportunity of expressing his grateful acknowledgments t« the generous pubi c, for the very liberal pa tronage with which his undertaking has been honored; at the fame time he takes the li berty of reprefenti igto such of the fubferibers as are in arrears, the indifpenfible neceflity of punctuality, both in taking up he volumes as early as poflib'e after publication, and of pay_ ing for them when taken. Many of the fub feribers having got only one, two, three, &c. volumes, a:»d several volumes remain unpaid. Thus the work hangs in all its differentftages from the commencement; and though tw im portance of a few dollars may be but a trifle to the individuals, yet the accumulation of these trifles unpaid lays the Publisher ander very serious embarraflment, and deprives him of the ufc of many Tlu>uf«nds»f Dollars which at this time would be of very efTential ferrice. For tbefe reasons the Publi(her finds hrmfelf under the neceflity of recurrirg to the or ; gina| terms of publication, and in future no vo lumes will be delivered but only to those who take and pay to the time of publication.
