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.

“Hail, happy Pope! whose gen’rous mind Detesting all the Statesmen kind; A Genius for all stations fit, Whose meanest Talent is his wit; His Heart too great, though fortune little, To lick a rascal Statesman’s spittle, Appealing to the Nations taste, Above the reach of want is plac’d. SWIFT.
NEW-YORK, Printed in the Year 1764.
