Abstract
T he temporary abandonment of the Society's Mission to the Iroquois in consequence of Mr Barclay's transfer to New York occurred at a time of danger and difficulty to the American Colonies. The destruction of Saratoga was followed by further hostile raids by the French and their Indian allies, and for the next two years the frontiers of New York, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts were subjected to numerous incursions by the enemy. To make matters more complicated, a strong party in New York was opposed to the war because of its detrimental effect on trade with Canada, and Governor Clinton's measures for the protection of the frontiers were frustrated by the New York Legislative Assembly. This body claimed to control the militia, and on several occasions the troops refused to march at the Governor's orders on the grounds that a special Act of Assembly would first be required. The position was further aggravated by the failure of a scheme which had been proposed by Clinton and Governor Shirley of Massachusetts for a comprehensive attack on Canada after the English capture of Louisburg. To this end strenuous preparations had been made by the colonists and their Iroquois allies, but owing to the futility of the Duke of Newcastle in not sending a promised fleet from England, the project had to be abandoned. This occasioned a bitter resentment in the minds of the colonists and as a result of the widespread disaffection Clinton found himself unable to enforce his authority for the adequate protection of the province.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
