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.
