JUST PUBLISHED,
By THOMAS DOBSON,
Bookfcller, at the Stone Hiiufe, in Second
ftreevPhiladt*lphia.
VOLUME X. OF
Encyclopedia; or Dictionary
Of Arts, Sciences, and Miscellaneous
Literature, on a Plan entirely new j
sr WHICH
The Different Sciences and Arts,
are digefied into the form of
Diftinft Treaties or Svftems:
THIS volume contains principles of Levels,
Liberty, Doctrine of Light, Lightning,
Locks, Logarithms, Logic, Hittory of Lon
don, Longirude, Luther, Lydia, Macerlon,
Madagascar, Magic, Magnetism, Malts, Hil
tory of Man, Marriage, Mary, Maryland,
Masonry, Materia Medica, Meadow, Mecha
nics, with a great variety of Biographical *nd
Miscellaneous articles, illullrated with Twln
ty Two Copperplates.
As a number ol families *re still in the
country, and it is rot generally known who
areieturned. T. 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.
