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.
PREFACES to little Performances are, of late, become frequent. The Design of this is only to inform the Writer of the letter, that his Friend published it, in the loose Manner in which it was wrote; as he believed the Sentiments might be of Benefit to the Public; and therefore they might be pleased to excuse any Inaccuracies of Style or Method.
Chester County, 3 Sept. 1764
