Dobfon, solicits the favor of the subscribers to call or fend for their vo lumes, that they may be fupplicd as early as poiuble, The tbwth roivMx of the Encyclopedia is now presented to tiie public ; but as it makes it* appearance in an imperfect state, some ac count of the reafort of that impetfe&ion ftiould be given. On the Bth of September last, the Piibliflier had the misfortune of having his Printing-office butnt down by a fire which broke out in the neighbourhood, and a great quantity of his printing materials destroyed, and among other articles, the fiouees, with which he was printing the tables or lo oaßitkms, belonging to the present volume, were melted down by the violence of the fire. As afupply of these could not be immediatefy obtained, he was under the neceflity of pub lifting the volume without these tables; but hopts he? (hall be able to pubiifli tb«m with the ne*t volume which is now in considerable for wardnfefs. The Publi flier embraces this opportunity Of exprefllng his grateful acknowledgments fa 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 fucb of the subscribers as are in arrears, the indifpenfiMe neceflity of punctuality, both in taking up (he volumes as early as pofGble after publication, and of pay in; for them when taken. Many of the sub scribers having got only one, two, three, fee. volumes, aud several volumes remain unpaid. Thus the work hangs in all its different ft ages from the 'commencement; and though lift im portance of a fe\¥ dollars may be but a trifle to the individuals, yet the accumulation of these trifles V*fp*lD lays the Publiflier under very serious embarraffinent, and deprives him of the use of many Thousands of Dollars which at this time would be of very efienttnl service. For these reasons the Publisher finds himfelf under the neceflity ofrecurfing to the original terms of publication, and in future no vo lumes will be delivered but only to thole who take and pay-to the time of publication, December 10.
