VOLUME X. OF
Encyclopedia ; or Dictiouart
Of A ts, Sciences, and Milcellaneous
Literature, on a Plan entirely new ;
BT WHICH
The Different Sciences and Arts,
are d'lgcjlcd into the form of
Diltintt Treaties or Systems :
THIS volume contains principles of Levels,
Liberty, Doctrine of Light, Lightning,
Locks, Logarithms, Logic, Hiftorv of Lon
don, Longitude. Luther, Lydia, Macedon,
Madagascar, Magic, Magnetifir, Malts, Hil
tory of Man, Marriage, Mary, Maryland,
Mafonrv, Materia. Medica, Meadow, Mecha
nics, with a great variety of Biographical and
Miscellaneous articles, illullrated with TwxN'
ty two Copperplates.
As a number ot families are still in the
country, and it is not generally known who
arereturned. T. Dobfon, solicits the favor
of the subscribers to cali or fend for their vo
lumes, that they may be supplied as early as
poiTible.
The tenth volume of the Encyclopedia is
now presented to the public ; but as it makes
its appearance in an impetfed ltate, some ac
count of the reason of that imperfb&ion ihouid
be c,iven. On the Bth of September last, the
Publilher 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 figures, with
which he was printing the tables of lo
garithms, belonging to the present volume,
were melted down by the violence of the fire.
As a supply of these could not be immediately,
obtained, he was under the necessity of pub
lifhing the volume without the e tasles; but
hopes he (hall be able to publi(h them with the
next volume which is now in considerable for
wardnefs.
The Publiftier embraces this opportunity of
exprefling his grateful acknowledgments to
the generous public, for {he 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 fubfer ibert
as are in a-rears, the indifpeniible necessity of
pun&uality, both in taking up the volumes as
early as pollible after publication, and of pay
ing for them when taken. Many of the sub
scribers having got only one, two, three, &:c.
volumes, and several volumes remain vkpamn
Thus the work hangs in all it« different stages
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 unpmD lays the Publilher under
very serious emharraffinent, and deprives him
of the use of many Thousands of Dollars which
at this time would be of very essential service.
For tbefe rcafons the Publilher finds himlelf
under the necefiity of recurring to the original
terms of publication, and in future no vo
lumes will be delivered but »nlv to those who
take and pay to the time of publication.
