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.

From all these Hints, which I have thrown together, without Order or Method, I hope you will be convinced, that it is your Duty to Use your Influence with these deluded People, to desist from their intended Enterprize; and that you will endeavour to convince them of their Error in what they have already done. Why should they be rendered desperate by having a Price set upon their Heads, like Wolves? Why should they have a Mark set upon them; and wander like Fugitives and Vagabonds in continual Fear? Or why should we be put to the Expence of Maintaining an Army in Time of Peace, which we might have done without?--Or pay Tithes, &c, to Clergy, whom many of us do not choose to hear preach? Or why should you deprive yourselves of filling the Posts you are otherwise qualified for, by vindicating a wrongheaded Mob?
The Lower Sort of People are very imitative of their Superiors.--They watch their Motions, Looks and Eyes:--If therefore the more sensible Part of you would openly avow your Disapprobation of these Measures, you will find this Rage and Clamour will soon subside; These People will disperse; they will crumble like the Dust, and disappear (at least in a hostile Manner) like the Snow that melted yesterday.
Yours &c. A PENNSYLVANIAN.
The first Edition of the following Dialogue, is said to have been printed at Ephesus; of which I make very little Doubt; being fully persuaded that our very greatest Genius, in this Part of the World, could not write so extraordinary a Piece. ‘Tis Certain therefore, that it must have been both wrote and printed by no less famous Men than those of Ephesus.
