Encyclopedia; or Dictionary
Of A ts, Sciences, and Mifcelianeous
Literature, on a Pkvn entirely new ;
THIS volume contains principles of Levels,
Liberty, D >&rine of Light, Lightning,
Locks, Logarithms, Logic, Hiflory 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, illuilrated with Twen
ty two Copperplates.
As a number ol families are still in the
country, and it is not generally known wRo
arereturned. T. Dobfon, solicits the favor
of the fubfenbers to call or fend for their vo
lumes, that they may be supplied as early as
poflible.
The volume of the Encyclopedia is
now presented to the public ; but as it makes
it* appcarance in an imporfeft state, some ac
count of the icafon of that imperfe&ion ihould
be niven. On the Bth of September last, the
Publiftier had the misfortune of having his
Printing-Office burnt down by a fire which
broke oat 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 of lo
garithms, belonging to the prelent vo'ume,
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 the e tables; but
hopes he shall be able to publifti with the
next volume which is now in considerable for
wardneft.
The Publisher embraces this opportunity of
exprefling 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 r uch of the fiibfcribers
as are in arrears, the indifpenfible necefllty of
punctuality, both in taking up ihe volumes as
early as poflible after publication, and of pay
ing for them when taken. Many of the fiib
fcribers having got only one, two, three, I;c.
volumes, and several volumes remain unpaid*
Thus the work hangs in all its ditfereotjjages
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 \wpaid lays the Publisher under
very ferions emharraflment, and deprives him
of the use of many Thousands of Dollars which
at this time would be of very eflential fervict.
For these reasons the Publilher finds him felt'
under the neceflftr of recurring to the original
terms of publication, and in future no vo
lumes will be delivered but only to those whu
take and pay to the time of publication,
