The author of this pamphlet has for many years been cognizant of the facts embodied in it, and also has personal acquaintance with Miss Carroll. Her attention was first called to Miss Carroll's vast work in 1873, at time of the annual Washington Convention of the National Womans' Suffrage Association. At that time Miss Carroll sent copies of her memorial to the officers of the association, together with the following letter:My Dear Mrs. Gage,I yesterday sent to your hotel a copy of a pamphlet which has just been published in regard to my services to the country in the war of the rebellion.This, as you will perceive, is not designed so much for the general reader as for Congress. And yet I think its entire perusal may interest you inasmuch as it may serve in some degree to furnish evidence in behalf of the cause you so ably represent.At this time, however, I would respectfully ask your attention to the letters of Hon. B. F. Wade, page 48 and 49 as giving a just conception of the merits of the case.I regret that a difficulty in hearing at the present time deprives me of the pleasure I should otherwise enjoy in listening to your address while in this city.With very high consideration,A. E. Carroll.Washington, 706 13th St., Jan 17th '73,This tract has been prepared by request of Mrs. Louisa South-worth of Ohio, who desires to scatter a knowledge of Miss Carroll's work widely over her State, and also to send the pamphlet to her friends abroad.The part headed Anna Ella Carroll vs. Ulysses S. Grant, was my editorial in National Citizen last November at time of Grant's return to this country, and is here reproduced as giving a general statement of the subject. The remainder of the tract elucidates this editorial and enables any one so desiring to examine the facts for themselves. A vast amount of proof exists, that I have not been able to use in the compass of this pamphlet. A short sketch of Miss Carroll is given, also a recent letter from Mr. Scott.
I beg, respectfully, to draw the atten tion of the country squire, the retired gentleman, and the public generally, to the following pages, with the assurance that, if the directions therein contained be strictly observed, the articles will not fail to reward the labour and trifling expense bestowed in their production.

Man's beginnings were described in the Bible in terms of conscious planning and grand strategy. The Opposing theory, developed by Darwin, suggested that no such grand design existed but that environmental forces.
Over 40 papers and posters that share the latest practices in emergency planning related to fixed chemical, pharmaceutical, LNG, and petroleum facilities, storage facilities, transportation, and security.
Prevention, preparedness, response and recovery--the key components of emergency planning--form the major sections of this work. The book first describes PSM (Process Safety Management) as the key to prevention, then goes on to consider the main features of a preparedness program, including recognizing credible incidents, planning practical strategy to deal with these incidents, selecting necessary physical support systems and equipment, and developing a complete emergency response plan. The Response section presents the functions implemented during an actual emergency and concludes with a section on managing cleanup and restoration of operations. The many tables and figures include Sample Incident Command System Plans for both large and small organizations, OSHA and EPA regulations affecting planning, sample Fire Emergency Action Levels, HAZMAT Responder Levels, and OSHA Emergency Training Requirements.
The major European powers drafted war plans before 1914 and executed them in August 1914; none brought the expected victory by Christmas. Why? This tightly focused collection of essays by international experts in military history reassesses the war plans of 1914 in a broad diplomatic, military, and political setting for the first time in three decades. The book analyzes the war plans of Austria-Hungary, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, and Russia on the basis of the latest research and explores their demise in the opening months of World War I. Collectively and comparatively, these essays place contingency war planning before 1914 in the different contexts and challenges each state faced as well as into a broad European paradigm. This is the first such undertaking since Paul Kennedy's groundbreaking War Plans of the Great Powers (1979), and the end result is breathtaking in both scope and depth of analysis.
Michael Hogan shows how The Marshall Plan was more than an effort to put American aid behind the economic reconstruction of Europe. American officials hoped to refashion Western Europe into a smaller version of the integrated single-market and mixed capitalist economy that existed in the United States. Professor Hogan's emphasis on integration is part of a major reinterpretation that sees the Marshall Plan as an extension of American domestic and foreign-policy developments stretching back through the interwar period to the Progressive Era.
This book is an investigation into the problems of generating natural language utterances to satisfy specific goals the speaker has in mind. It is thus an ambitious and significant contribution to research on language generation in artificial intelligence, which has previously concentrated in the main on the problem of translation from an internal semantic representation into the target language. Dr. Appelt's approach, based on a possible-worlds semantics of an intensional logic of knowledge and action, enables him to develop a formal representation of the effects of illocutionary acts and the speaker's beliefs about the hearer's knowledge of the world. The theory is embodied and illustrated in a computer system, KAMP (Knowledge and Modalities Planner), described in the book.
