Dobfon, solicits the favor of the subscribers to call or fend for their vo lumes, that they may be supplied as early as polTible. The TENTH VOLUME of the Encyclopedia is now presented to the public; but at it makes its appearance in an imperfect state, loine ac count of the reason of thatimpeifeaion (huuld be [>iven. On the Bth of September lafl, the Publiftier had the misfortune of having his Printing Office burnt down by a fire which broke out in the neighbourhood, and a great quantity of hi? printing materials destroyed, and among other articles, the riau»ES, with which he was printing the tablss or ka garithms, belonging to the present volume, were melted down by the violence ol" the tire. As a supply of thel'c conld not be immediately obtained, he was under the necessity of pub lilhing the volume without thele tables; but hopes he (hall (>e able to puhlifh them with the next volume which is now in confidcrablc fur- wardnefs. The Publisher embraces this opportunity of exprefling his grateful acknowledgments to the generous public, for the very literal pa tronage with which his undertaking has been honored; at the fame time he takes the li berty of representing to such of the fubferibers as are in arrears, the indifpenfible necessity of punctuality, both in taking up ihe volumes as early as poflible after publication, and of pay ing for them when taken. Many of the fub feribers having got only one, two, three, &rc. volumes, and several volumes remain unpaid. Thus the work hangs in all its different stages from the commencement; and though the im portance of a few dollars may be but a trifle to tne individuals, yet the accumulation of these trifles unpaid lays the Publisher under very serious embarraifmetit, and deprives hiui of the use of many Thousands of Dollars whicfc at this time would be of very eifcntial fervictr. For tliefe reasons the Publisher finds himfejf under the necessity 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.
