As a number of families are still in the
country, and it is not generally known who
arereturned. 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.
