> TO THE PUBLIC. HAVING received an Inſult from Otho H. W. Luckett, for which he refuſed to make the Reparation demanded—I do declare him a Coward, a Braggadochio, and a Fellow, at whom the <white right pointing index finger symbol here> Finger of Contempt ſhould always be pointed. WILLIAM CHAPMAN. Frederick-Town, Sept. 23, 1803· 3w The usage of the long s (ſ), the archaic form of the letter "s", is also quite interesting. Note how "Inſult", "refuſed", and "ſhould" are written with the long s but "always" is written with the short s because it occurs at the end of the word. The long s is one of my favourite extinct characters because it is the ancestor of the current day integral symbol (∫) introduced by Leibniz.
