    t)f the fifth edition of this work, four volume^ afr¥ already printed. The whole of the fifth edition, when completed, is to consist of Twenty-four Volumes, or Forty-eight parts, with a greatly improved set of Engravings. A part or half volume will be published on the first day of every month; and as the printing is in considerable forwardness, the Publishers can pro¬ mise a more regular publication than has ever attend¬ ed any similar undertaking. And besides all other ad¬ vantages attached to this work, the proprietors pledge themselves that no additional charge of price shall take place during its progress. In the fifth edition now offered to the public, it is intended that the Four last Volumes shall consist en¬ tirely of Original Articles, that an opportunity may be afforded of exhibiting the arts and sciences in then’ latest state of improvement. To this part; which is to be considered as distinct from the original body of the work, a Dissertation will be prefixed, on a plan analo¬ gous to that of the Discours Preliminaire of D' Alembert, prefixed to the French Encyclopedic, and justly regarded as one of the greatest ornaments of that celebrated work. In the composition of this Preliminary Dissertation, the Proprietors have the high gratification of being able to state to the public, that they have reason to expect the assistance of Mr Dugald Stewart, Professor Playfair, and Sir Humphry Davy, each in his respective depart¬ ment of science. Printed for Archibald Constable and Co.; and Thom¬ son Boiiar, Edinburgh; Gale, Curtis and Fenner, London; Wilson and Sons, York; and John Cum¬ min g, Dublin.
