Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

NOR should I forget to mention, how much this Province is peculiarly beholden to you for the Introduction of Clubs, Corruption and Perjury at our annual Elections; than which nothing could have been better adapted for the Preservation of that valuable Part of our Privileges.
AS well might I omit to acknowledge the Services you have rendered this Country, in promoting the Cultivation of the fine Arts. The Public Spirit, and Liberality of the famous Society in England, are no ways comparable to what you have exerted and shown on this Account. The Art of Engraving, in particular, which was thought to be on its Decline among Britons, has, by your generous Bounty, and under your Auspices, been lately carried to a Height of Perfection unknown to the most able Masters, antient or modern.
SUFFER me likewise, Sir, to congratulate you and the Public, on your new-form'd Alliance with that SCUNK OF SCURRILITY D—d J—s D-ve! From an Union of such kindred Souls what Blessings may not be expected!
Our ART must flourish to its full Extent, When D-ve shall write what Al—n shall invent!
But, Sir, such is your unbounded Benevolence of Soul, that, not contented with bestowing Favours on British America in general, you have even extended your Obligations to the declared Enemies of your King and Country!—generously supplying them in the Time of their Distress with Warlike Stores and Provisions.
