The tenth tolum* of the Encyclopedia iJ
now presented to the public ; but as it make!
its appearance in an impcrfeft slate, some ac
count of the reason of that imperfection <hould
be given. On the Bth of September last, the
Publilher had the misfortune of having bis
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 rieulit, with
which he was printing the tables or lo
garithms, belonging to the present volume,
were melted doWn by the violence of the Ere.
As a supply of tbefe could not be immediately
? obtained, hfc was under the neceflity of pub
tilhing the volume without the r e tables; but
hopes he fflall be able topublilh them with the
next volume which is now in confidcrable ior-
wardnefs. -
The Publisher embraces this opportunity o*
exprefling bis grateful acknowledgments to
the generous public, for the very liberal pa
tronage with which his undertaking has been
honored; at the fame time he tak« the li
bsrty of reprefentui& to such ol the fubfcriberi
a; are in arrears, the indiipenfible necellity ot
punctuality, both in taking up the volumes a*
early as polfib'.e after publication, ana of pay
fog for them when taken. Many of the ftib
fcribers having got only one, two, three, ?.'c
volumes, and t'everal volumes remain vkpaio*-
Thus the work hangs in all its different Images
from the commen*em«nt j and though rhe im
portance of a few dollars may be bur a trifle
! ,o the individuals, yet the ascumulation of
these trifles unpaid lavs the Publifr.er under
very serious embarr»ffmeM t and deprives him
of the life of many Thoulands of Dollars which
at this time would be of very essential ferric*.
For these reasons the Publiflier finds liimfelf
under the necsflity of recurring to the origin**
terms of publication, and in future no Vo
lumes will be delivered but only to those wh»-
take and pay to the time of publication.
