President John Adams expressed his views on granting a passport to Pierre Samuel duPont de Nemours: “We have had too many French Philosophers already . . . ” September 17, 1798.

Quincy September 17. 1798

Sir

I have received your favour of the Eleventh.

I wish I understood better than I do The Conduct

both of General Pickering and Mr. Gerry.

I shall not be guilty of so much

affection of regard to science, as to be very willing

to grant passports to Dupont De Nemours or

any other French Philosophers, in the present

situation of our country. We have had too many

French Philosophers already; and I really begin

to think or rather to suspect, that learned Academies

not under the immediate inspection and control

of Government have disorganized the world and

are incompatible with social order. Mr King judges

very correctly of the American Government, that it has

no disposition to give any Encouragement to the

Mission of the Directory:  I hope he conjectures equally

well of the English.  

With great Esteem I am Sir your most obt. John Adams

Timothy Pickering Esq.

Secretary of State

And for a little bit of contrast a certain Miss Bingley decided to join the redesign lineup. Inspired by a 1798 fashion plate (the only way to be a true trendsetter is to be able to see the future) she's rocking a style and color that would clearly set her apart from the "country" gentry her party would be visiting with on this trip.

Someone please write a review of this game, which appears to be a cutesy farming simulator. Please find some cheap-shot inspiration below:

0/5 can't use my pike to charge at the yeos

1/5 enjoyed the farming but my crop got trampled by the British cavalry.

1/5 that Cornwallis character is sooo annoying!!
