|uft Imported,
Peale's Museum,
HAS Lately received a number of article;;
among whieh are the following ; That
reinarkablr bird called the Cut-water, or fcif
ars-bill; The Avofetie, commonly called the
Shoe*-maker, because ol its bill resembling a
crooked awl—The Long-legs, commonly call
ed the Black-bet, having perhaps the longed legs,
in proportion to the size of the bird, of any of
the feathered tiibe—The Storm-finch, common
ly called mother Cary's chicken—The Sea
fwallow, and varrous Gulls ; besides a variety
of Cranes, Curlews, Snipes, &c.
The scull »»f a Whale and one of its Vertebres.
An Indian hatchet made of chryftal : It is
curious that those uninformed wild people, hav
ing very little knowledge of the arts, and being
ignorant even of the exigence of iron and flee I,
should be able to form such hard fubftanees in
to fanciful farms as this, and other Indian ma
nufa&ures now in the Museum.
A hgnified Quince : The specimen (hews
what a remaikable effefl a dry warm situation
has on fruit. It is now about 8 years since it
was gathered ; and it was a real quince, now be
come wood, at least in appearance.
Presented by Mrs. Manfon of Charleftown,
S. C.—a tool used by the o:aheitans in making
their bark cloth, by pounding the bark on this
inrtrumcnt of wood, it produces the ribs which
resemble threads : the perfcdly straight and
equal lines made in this extreme hard wood, by
men without the use of iron,are curious & won
derful.
Alio, a rope made of grass part of the tige
inp of a vessel of Kamlkatka.
Prelcntcd by Dr. Hall, of LewU-town, a Squi'n
in spirits : when was lound, a number
ot Hones were appendid lo firings or ligaments
that projected from the front of ils head,which
occasioned a conjrfture, at it i> not furnifhed
wMh fufficient hns to refill the violence of the
tide and currents, that it fattened wirh these li
gaments on whatever it found at the bottom ; so
that the stones anfwercd the purpofeof anchors
and the ligaments of a gluiinous sticky nature,
that of cablet. Some of the (tones are in the
fame phial.
A coilrftion of Minerals and other Foflils
2'e now displayed in drawer* covered with glass
and in a mode which will fccurc them from de
rangement. To each specimen are affixed refe
rences to a book of defcripiions* This manage
inent of specimens of the Fossil kingdom, gen
ders this part of the Museum very convcnicn'
and fatisfa£>ory,and great attention will be paid
to the fvflematica! order of them, and in mak
ing the neceflary essays of cach : Also in giving
in a concise manner, the various uses they are
applied to ; thereby rendering them the more
intercfting to the public.
A Living FJk, of 2 years old, is just receiv
ed. By the account which monf. Buffon gives
of the Elk, it appears that he was not acquaint
ed with this American animal; he particularly
omits all notice of the curious apertures adjoin
ing the eyes of this Elk.
George Bringhurfl,
COACH-MAKER,
In Mulberry (Arch) between Fourth and Fifth
Streets, adjoining the Episcopal burying
ground,
TAKES this opportunity of returning his
grateful thanks to his forme/employers,
and requesting their future favors, as well as
those of the public in general.
He continues to make and repair at the
shortest notice, all kinds of pleasure carriages,
such as coaches chariots, phaetons with and
without crane necks, coachees, chaises, kitte
reens, wind for fulkeys and chaiis, and harness
of every description, in the neatest and newest
fafliion now prevailing in the United States.
And as he has a quantity of the best seasoned
wood by him, ard capital workmen, he has
not the least doubt but he will be able to give
farisfaftion to those whopleafe to employ him.
He has for fa>e, several carriages alinoft
finiftied, such as coachees, an Italian windsor
chair, hung on steel springs, a light phaeton for
one or two horses, and a fulkey with a falling
top.

By THOMAS DOBSON,
Bookseller, at the Stone Houle, in Second
ftreet Philadelphia.
VOLUME X. OF
Encyclopedia; or Dictionary
Of Arts, Sciences, and MifceUaneous
Literature, on a Plan entirely new ;
Br WHICH
The Different Sciences and Art*,
are dig (fled into the form of
Diftinft Treaties or Syfcems :
I ""HIS volume contains principles of Levels,
Liberty, Doctrine of Lighr, Lightning,
Locks, Logarithms, Logic, Hiftorv of Lon
don, Longitude. Luther, Lydia, Macedon,
Madagascar, Magic, Magnetism, Malts, His
tory of Man, Marriage, Mary, Maryland,

nics, with a great variety of Biographical and
MifceUaneous articles, illultrated with Twen
ty two Copperplates.
As a number of families are still »n the
country, and it is not generally known who
arereturned. T. Dobfon, solicits the favor
of the fubfcr.bers to call or fend for their vo
lumes, that they may be supplied as early as
poilible.
The tenth volume of the Encyclopedia is
now presented to the public ; but as it makes
its appearance in an impcrfeft state, ft-me ac
count of the reason of that imperfection (houid
be given. On the Bth of September last, the
Publisher had the misfoi tune 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 figuies, with
which he was printing the tables or 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 neceflity of pub
lifhing the volume without these tables; but
hopes he shall be able to publish them with the
next volume which is now in considerable for-
wardnefs.
The Publisher 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 he takes the li
berty of representing to such of the fubferibers
as are in arrears, the indifpenfible neceflity of
punctuality, both in taking up the volumes ac
early as poflible after publication, and of pay
ing for them when taken. Many of the fub
feribers having got only one, two, three, &c.
volumes, and several volumes remain i*ni» aid.
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 trifie
to the itpiividuals, yet the accumulation of
these trifles unpaid lays the Publisher under
very serious embarraflment, and deprives him
of the use of many Thousands of Dollars which
at this time would be of very eflential service.
For tbefe reasons the PublHher finds himfelf
under the neceflity of recurring to the original
terms of publication, and in future no vo
lumes will be delivered but only to thole who
take and pay to the time of publication.
