If `` Jack the Courtier '' is really to be taken as Swift, the following remark is obviously Steele's comment on Swift's change of parties and its effect on their friendship: `` I assure you, dear Jack, when I first found out such an Allay in you, as makes you of so malleable a Constitution, that you may be worked into any Form an Artificer pleases, I foresaw I should not enjoy your Favour much longer ''.

Mr. Richard Preston, executive director of the New Hampshire State Planning and Development Commission, in his remarks to the Governors Conference on Industrial Development at Providence on October 8, 1960, warned against the fallacy of attempting to attract industry solely to reduce the tax rate or to underwrite municipal services such as schools when he said: `` If this is the fundamental reason for a community's interest or if this is the basic approach, success if any will be difficult to obtain ''.

If the German people favor such a settlement we should not oppose Germany following the example of Austria.

If only this could be done more often -- with such heartening results -- many of the earth's `` big problems '' would shrink to the insignificances they really are.

If the railroads, for example, regularly slaughtered 25,000 passengers each year, the high priests of the cult would have cause to tremble for their personal safety, for such a holocaust would excite demands for the hanging of every railroad president in the United States.

If the last day ( due date ) for performing any act for tax purposes, such as filing a return or making a tax payment, etc., falls on Saturday, Sunday, or a legal holiday, you may perform that act on the next succeeding day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday.

) If your employer reimburses you for expenses incurred, you deduct such expenses if they otherwise qualify.

If, for some reason such as economy, we are not going to develop aircraft nuclear propulsion with a sense of national urgency, then we should turn our effort to developing jet engines with a thrust-to-weight ratio of 12 or 15 to one.

If the background of design is too smooth, or you wish to create a wood-grained effect, it may be added at this time with a dull tool such as the handle of a fine paintbrush.

If you use one of the new year-round cooling system fluids such as `` Dowguard '' be sure to check it.

If you would feel happier with full collision insurance, there is a small additional charge, again varying from country to country and depending on the term of such insurance.

If such is the case, the particles within a distance of about Af of the Earth will have, relative to the Earth, a kinetic energy less than their potential energy and they will be captured into orbits about the Earth.

If, for instance, such a change is produced by one or a few insulin comas or electroshocks, previously inhibited conditioned reactions reappear.

If T is a linear operator on an arbitrary vector space and if there is a monic polynomial P such that Af, then parts ( A ) and ( B ) of Theorem 12 are valid for T with the proof which we gave.

If the vertex is at Af, and if the interior of C is on the left as one moves in the direction of increasing t, then every such corner can be found from the curve obtained by rotating C clockwise through 90-degrees about the vertex.

If such a child scored 3.0, his discrepancy score would be -.5, representing of one year of under-achievement.

If such an unlikely transaction were to take place, it would more logically be accomplished by a stock purchase, followed by the prosecution of the claim by the wholly-owned subsidiary, followed by liquidation.

If the bottom name in each column did not have a responsible executive identified, the next name above which identified such a responsible executive was substituted.

If there were more such cases, it would be easier to answer the question whether the policy-makers favor their own social classes.

If the compiler does encounter such statements, a warning message will be issued.

If the polarities are correct, the platform rotates in such a direction as to reduce the accelerometer output to zero.

If an expensive and specialized piece of machinery is needed -- such as a spray rig, a combine, or a binder -- it is better to pay someone with a machine to do the work.

( 2 ) If earthquakes do occur at such depths, why not deeper??

If she has not had such experiences, the female's normal adolescent degree of indecision will be compounded.

`` If I thought you were serious about going back to school, that you'd learned something from your experiences here and at Hanover -- well, I might consider such an offer.

If any official operation abroad begins to go wrong, we shall look to the ambassador to find out why and to get suggestions for remedial action.

If that's done, the house can be designed and oriented for best operation, and this can mean savings both in the size of equipment and in the cost of the house itself.

If the resulting four kilobyte table size is too large for a given target platform, the table lookup operation can be performed with a single 256-entry 32-bit ( i. e. 1 kilobyte ) table by the use of circular rotates.

* If M is some set and S denotes the set of all functions from M to M, then the operation of functional composition on S is associative:

If f is not a function, but is instead a partial function, it is called a partial operation.

* If the operation is associative, ( ab ) c = a ( bc ), then the value depends only on the tuple ( a, b, c ).

* If the operation is commutative, ab = ba, then the value depends only on

If, for instance, an addition operation was requested, the arithmetic logic unit ( ALU ) will be connected to a set of inputs and a set of outputs.

If the addition operation produces a result too large for the CPU to handle, an arithmetic overflow flag in a flags register may also be set.

If n ≥ 1 and is an integer, the numbers coprime to n, taken modulo n, form a group with multiplication as operation ; it is written as ( Z / nZ )< sup >×</ sup > or Z < sub > n </ sub >< sup >*</ sup >.

" If you look at it as a whole ," a senior S / LPD official said, " the Office of Public Diplomacy was carrying out a huge psychological operation of the kind the military conducts to influence a population in denied or enemy territory.

If these relations are stored physically as separate disk files, completing a database query that draws information from several relations ( a join operation ) can be slow.

If this operation has to be done in real time video games there is an easy trick to boost performance.

# If V is a set of strings then V * is defined as the smallest superset of V that contains λ ( the empty string ) and is closed under the string concatenation operation.

If the reader evaluates an expression but does not follow the correct order of operation, the reader will come forth with a different value.

If predictable operation is desired, negative feedback is used, by applying a portion of the output voltage to the inverting input.

If one could achieve reliable operation of VLB at 50mhz it was extremely fast-but again this was notoriously difficult to achieve, and often it was discovered not to be possible with a given hardware configuration.

If the weather is below VMC, pilots are required to use instrument flight rules, and operation of the aircraft will primarily be through referencing the instruments rather than visual reference.

If the check in operation succeeds, then the version numbers of all files involved automatically increment, and the CVS-server writes a user-supplied description line, the date and the author's name to its log files.

If an operation is to be performed on the whole structure, each node calls the operation on its children ( recursively ).

If the annular muscles are contracted, the body cross-section is reduced, and the corresponding segment stretches, since its volume must remain constant due to the incompressible behaviour of the coelom's liquid contents ; this is the usual mode of operation of the hydrostatic skeleton as also employed by other worms.

If ( G ,*) is a group, we define its opposite group ( G < sup > op </ sup >,*< sup > op </ sup >) as follows: G < sup > op </ sup > is the same set as G, and the operation *< sup > op </ sup > is defined by.

If the operation is associative then if an element has both a left inverse and a right inverse, they are equal.

If ~ is a unary operation, then h (~ x ) = ~ h ( x ).
