to the Binder that the whole may be so placed as to illustrate, with the greatest facility, the various subjects to which they refer. In addition to a complete urmerical list of them, as well as of the subjects they describe, we have subjoined (novel feature in a Cyclopædia) a GENERAL INDEX to every such subject; so that the smallest article may be readily adverted to. In the department of Natural History and Botany the English and Linnéan names are both given. Those who may not wish to have the plates dispersed through the body of the work may bind them separately with the title, list of plates and index, which will be a sufficient guide to the description of each particular article in the work itself.

From circumstances of no consequence to detail, there are one or two articles which have been omitted in the alphabetical arrangement. These, however, will be found subjoined at the close of the work under the title Addenda.

Judging from the aspect of the times, it is highly probable that the progress of science will be accompanied through the next ten or eleven years with as many changes and improvements as it has exhibited during the course of the present work: and, hence, while the editors trust they will be found to have performed their duty in following up the changes and improvements to the present moment; the proprietors beg leave to add, that it is their intention to keep the work equally perfect through future years, by publishing a supplementary volume whenever the advance of science may demand it.

JUNE, 1813.

FOR PLACING THE PLATES.

The Binder is requested to observe, that, in some few instances, the No. of the Plate will not correspond with that in the following list; but as the subjects of each Plate are given, no mistake can occur in arranging the Plates.
