It is with peculiar pleafnre I announce! to the numerous patrons, and to a liberal and enlightened public, the completion of this truly valuable and celebrated work. Like all heavy and arduous undertakings, it gives great relict to the body and mind to have got through it, and a complete remuneration of expenditures, which have far execeed my fir It calculations, depends on the punctuality of the fuhfciibcrs, in tailing or fending and paying for their books. The folicitation for payn tnt is rot, however applicable to all ; many have gtneioully paid the whole, as rcquiied by the fubfeription, on getting the full volume ; but far the greater number have paid only a part, and many nothing at all I'ui h cannot calculate on getting their books until the price of them be completely difchargrd Dctore they leave my book tore.
