T. Dobfon, Iblicits the favor of the fubferibers to call or fend for their vo lumes, that they may be supplied as early as poilible. eod2w. The tenth rotuMi of the now presented te the public; but as it makes its appearance in an impcrfelt state, some ac count of tbe reason of that imperfeflion Ihould be given. On the Bth of September last, the Publiflier had the misfortune of having hit 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 nouns, with which he was printing the tables or Lo- Qarithms, belonging to the present were melted down by the violence of the fire. As a supply of these could not b® immediately obtained, lie was under the neceflity of pub lilhing the volume without the'is tablis; but hopes he (hall be able to publifli them with the next volume, which is now in considerable for- wardnefs. The Publiflier embraces this opportunity of expressing his grateful acknowledgments to the generous public, for the very liberal pa tronage with which his undertaking has been honored; at the fame time takes the li berty of representing to fnch of the fubferibers as are in arrears, the indifpenfible necessity of punctuality, both in (akin;; up ihe volumes at early as poilible after publication, and of pay ing for them when taken. Many of the sub scribers having got only one, two, three, Irt. volumes, and fevers I volumes remain unpaid. Thus the work hangs in ail its different stager 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 unpaid lays the Publiflier under very serious tiuhariaflinent, and deprives him of the nfe of many Thoufands"f Dollars which at this time would be of very essential fervlce. For these reasons the Publiflier finds liimfelf under the necessity of recurring to the original 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. t&ftf.
