JUST PUBLISHED, By THOMAS DOBSON, Bookliller, at the Stone House, in Second ftre&t Philadelphia. VOLUME X. OF Encyclopedia ; or Dictionary Of A ts, Sciences, and Miscellaneous Literatuie, on a Plan entirely new ; BT WHICH The Different Sciences and Arts, are digefiid into the form of Diftindt Trearvs or Sytfenis : THIS volume contains principles of Level*, Liberty, Do&iine of Light, Lightning, Locks, Logarithms, Logic, Hiltory of Lon- don, Longicude. 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, illuiiratid with Twen ty two Copperplates. As a number ol families are still in the country, and it is not generally known who arere'urned. T. Dobfon, solicits the favor of the fubferibers to call or fend for their vo lume* s, that they may be supplied as early as poilible. The tenth volume of the Encyclopedia is now pre fen ted to the public ; but as it makes its appearance in an imperfect state, foiuc ac coun i of the reason <>f that imperfection Ibould be the Bth of September last, the Pnbliiher 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 Figuees, with which he was printing the tables of lo garithms, belonging to the prelent volume, were melted down by the violence of the fire. As a supply of thefc could not be immediately obtained, he was under the neceffitv of pub lifting the volume without the c taslbs; but hopes he dial! be able to publifli them with the next volume which is now in considerable for- wardnefs. 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 honored; at the fame time lie takes the Ji- berty of representing to ftich of the fubferibers as are in arrears, the indifpenfrble necefllry of pun&uality, both in taking up (he volumes as early as portible after publication, and of pay ing for them \yhen taken. Many of the sub- fcribers having got only one, two, thiee, See. volumes, and several volumes remain vkpaid. Thus the work hangs in all its different Cages from the coaunencemcr.t; and though the im portance of a few dollars may be but a trifle to the individuals, yet the accumulation of these triples unpaid fays the Publisher under very feriou* embarraflment, and deprives him of the use of many Thonfands of Dollars which at this time would be of very eflential service. For tbefc reasons the Publilher finds himfelf under the neceflHy of recurring to the original 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.
