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.
