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.

THE Proprietaries of Pennsylvania have acted by Consent of His Majesty, and under the Sanction of His Orders; and during the whole Terms of their Government, have taken every Step in their Power to preserve and defend the Province from the Indians, by offering Money to build Forts, and for the Maintainance of Garrisons; and by their Governors, have from Time to Time endeavored to prevail on the People to put themselves in a Posture of Defence; and no Person can be Governor of this Province without the King’s Approbation.
MASSACHUSETTS-BAY, in New-England, also lost its Charter in KING CHARLES’S arbitrary Reign, and had a better Constitution given them at the Revolution; therefore the Proprietaries of Pennsylvania, under the Auspices of GEORGE the Third, the FATHER of His People, shall, for having complied with His Majesty’s INSTRUCTIONS and AWARD, solemnly given in Council, be deprived of their Charter without their Consent, or having committed any Act by which it is forfeited.---Thus having pointed out the Resemblance of those several Proprietary Provinces, there can no Doubt remain, but that the same Fate will attend them all.
