OF Encyclopedia; or Dictionary Of A ts, Sciences, and Mifcellaneouj Literature, on a Plan entirely new ; Br WHICH The Different Sciences and Arts, are digejled into the form of Diftinft Treaties or Systems : THIS volume contains principles#!'Levels, Liberty, DuJlrine of Light-, Lightning, Locks, Logarithms, Logic, Hiftorv of Lon don, Longitude, Luther, Lvdia, Macedon, Madagalcar, Magic, Magnetism, Malts, His tory of Ma", Marriage, Marv, Maryland, Mafonrv, Materia Medica, Meadmv, Mecha nics, with a great vaiiety of Bingiaph cal and Miscellaneous articles, illultraud with Twen ty two Copperplates. As a number of families are still in the country, and it is not generally known wh« areretuined. T. D<tbfon, solicits the favor of the subscribers 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 imperfetf state, some ac conni of the reason of that impel feftion (hould be > iven. On the Bth of September lad, the Publiflser had-the misfoitune of having his Printing Office burnt down by a fire which broke out in the neighbourhood, aftd a great quantity of his printing materials deflroyrd, and among other articles, the figures, with which he was printing the tables of lo garithms, be'onging to the present volume, were melted down by the violence of the tire. As a Supply oi these could not be immediately obtained, he was under the neceflity of pub lifliing the volume without the e tables; but hopes he (hall be able to publish them with the next volume which is now in considerable for- wa-cinefs. The Publiflier embraces this opportunity of expreflmg his grateful acknowltdpments to the generous public, for the very libei al pa tronage with which his undertaking has been honored; at the fame time he takes th» li berty of representing to fiich of the fubfcnbcrt as are in arrears, the indifpenfible neceffiry cf punctuality, both in takjn R up .he volumes a* early as pofltble after publication, and of pay ing for them when taken. Many of the sub. (bribers having got only one, two, three, kc. volumes, and leveral volumes remain unpaid. Thus the work hangs in all its different flages 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 unpmd lays the Publisher under very serious embarraffinent, and deprives him of the ufeof many Thoufandsnf Dollars which at this time would be of very eflential service. For these reasons the Publisher finds himfclt under the neceflity 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.
