Peale's Museum,
HAS Lately received a number of article?;
among which are the following ; That

ars-bill; The Avofette, commonly called the
Shoe-maker, because ol its bill refcmbling a
crooked awl—The Long-legs, commonly call
ed the Black-bet, having perhaps the longcft legs,
in proportion to the fire of the bird, ol any of
the feathered tribe—The Storm-finch, common
ly called mother Cary's chicken—The Sea
'fwallow, and various Gulls ; bcfidcs a variety
ol C'anes, Curlews, Snipes, &c.
The scull of a Whale and one of its Vertebres.
An Indian hatchet made of chrvftal : It is
curious that those uninformed wild people, hav
ing very little knowledge of the aits, and being
ignorant even ol the extftence of iron and steel,
(hould be able to form such hard substances in
to fanciful forms as this, and other Indian ma
nufa&uies now in the Museum.
A lignified Quince : The specimen shews
whit a remarkable effefta 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 lead in appearance.
Presented bv Mrs. Manfon of Charleftown,
S. C.—a tool used by the O.aheitans in making
their baik cloth, by pounding the bark on this
inttrument of wood, it produces the ribs which
resemble threads : the perfe&ly straight and
equal lines made in this extreme hard wood, by
men without the ufc of iron,are cutious Sc won
derful.
Also, a rope made of grass, part of the rigg
ng of a veflel of Kamfkatka.
Picfrnied by Dr. Hall, of Lewis-town, a Squib
in spirits : when this fi(h was found, a number
of stones were append<d io string* or ligaments
that projected from the front of its head,which
occafioncd a conjc&uie, as it is not furnilbed
with fulficient 'fins to resist the violence of the
tide and currents, that it fattened wi h these li
gaments on whatever it found ai the bottom ; so
that the stones answered the purpofeof anchors
and the ligaments of a glut inous dicky nature,
that of cables. Some of the stones are in the
fame phial.
A colli ftion of Minerals and other Foflils-
a r e now dilplaycd in diawers covered with glass
and in a mode which will feeut e them from de

rences to a book of descriptions. This manage

A Living Elk, of 2 years old. is jtift receiv

TAKES this opportunity of returning his

and requesting their future favors, as well as
thole of the public in general.
He continues to make and repair at the

such as coache;, chariots, phaetons with and
without Crane necks, coachees, chaises, kitte
reens, windsor fulkeys and chairs, and harness
of every description, in the neatest and newest
Pa Hi ion now prevailing in the United States.
And as he has a quantity of the best seasoned
wood by him, and capital workmen, he has
not the least doubt but he will be able to give
fatisfa&ion to those who please to employ him.
He has for fate, several carriages almost
finished, such as coachees, an Italian windsor
chair, hung on steel springs, a light phaeton for
One or two horses, and a lulkey with a falling
top.

VOLUME X. OF
Encyclopedia ; or Dictionary
Of A' ts, Sciences, and Miscellaneous

Br WHICH
The Different Sciences and Arts,
are digejled into the form of

THIS volume contains principles of Levels,

Miscellaneous articles, illuitrated with Twen
ty two Copperplates.
A«s a number ot families are still in the
country, and it is not generally known who
arereturned. T. Dobfon, 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 imperfect state, some ac
count of the reason of that imperfe&ion ftiould
be iven. On the Bth of September last, the
Publisher had the misfortune 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 figures, with
which he was printing the tables of lo
garithms, belonging to the prefeut 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
lilhing the volume without the e taples; but
hopes he (hall be able to publilh them with the
next volume wfcifihis now in conlidcrable for-
wardnefs.
The Publisher embraces this opportunity of
exprefling 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 rrprefenting to such of the subscribers
at are in arrears, the indifpenfible necefCty of
punctuality, both in takin* up ;he volumes as
early as possible after publication, and of pay
ing for them when taken. Many of the sub
scribers having got only one, two, three, &c.
volumes, and I'everal volumes remain unpaid.
Thus the work hangs in all its different stages
from the commencement j and though the im
portance of a few dollars may be but a trifle
to the individuals, yet the accumulation of
these trifles unpaid Tays the Publisher under
very serious embarraflmenr,and deprives him
of the use of many Thousands of Dollars which
at this time would be of very eflentialTer vice.
For these reasons the Publisher finds himfelf
under the neceflity of recurring to the original
terms of publication, and in future no vo
lumes will be delivered bur only to those who
take and pay to the time of publication.
