TO OUR READERS. 

 OoME late numbers of the Bee have contained a greater 

 proportion of philosophical matter than will probably be . 

 agreeable to many of the readers. This was occasioned 

 by a desire to finiih the subjects iu the same volume in 

 which they are commenced, which the Editor always wifli- 

 es to do, where it seems to be practicable. 



As there are now considerable arrears due for this work, 

 especially by persons at a distance, the Editor requests 

 the favour of his subscribers, to make remittances when 

 opportunities oflFer. The sums due by each individual 

 must appear very trifling to them ; but when many small 

 sums are added together, the amount becomes conside- 

 Table, and of some consequence to the Editor. Few will 

 imagine that the arrears due on this work, could be already 

 greatly above a thousand pounds.
