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 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 one integrates this picture, which corresponds to applying the fundamental theorem of calculus, one obtains Cavalieri's quadrature formula, the integral – see proof of Cavalieri's quadrature formula for details.

If we insert vertices in random order, it turns out ( by a somewhat intricate proof ) that each insertion will flip, on average, only O ( 1 ) triangles – although sometimes it will flip many more.

:“ If an integer n is greater than 2, then has no solutions in non-zero integers a, b, and c. I have a truly marvelous proof of this proposition which this margin is too narrow to contain .”

If neither A nor B includes the idea of existence, then " some A are B " simply adjoins A to B. Conversely, if A or B do include the idea of existence in the way that " triangle " contains the idea " three angles equal to two right angles ", then " A exists " is automatically true, and we have an ontological proof of A's existence.

If some specific deductive system of first-order logic is sound and complete, then is it " perfect " ( a formula is provable iff it is a semantic consequence of the axioms ), thus equivalent to any other deductive system with the same quality ( any proof in one system can be converted into the other ).

If it is rational, the proof is complete, and

If a statement P is provable, then it is certainly impossible to prove that there is no proof of P. But even if it can be shown that no disproof of P is possible, we cannot conclude from this absence that there is a proof of P. Thus P is a stronger statement than not-not-P.

If transitions do not exist, then there is no proof of any continuity between A and B.

If a set is well-ordered ( or even if it merely admits a wellfounded relation ), the proof technique of transfinite induction can be used to prove that a given statement is true for all elements of the set.

If, however, the subject lives a life of great extravagance, tell him he, too, can afford to give largely, the proof of his opulence being evident in his expenditure.

If proof emerges of the true extent of the state actor's involvement, this strategy can backfire ; for example see Iran-contra and Philip Agee.

If there was an intuitive element, it was to be isolated and represented separately as an axiom: from there on, the proof was to be purely logical and without gaps.

If V is a probabilisitic Turing Machine which could possible accept x if x is in X, then the proof is the string of coin flips which leads the machine, by luck, intuition, or genius, to accepting x.

If there is a real doubt, based upon reason and common sense after careful and impartial consideration of all the evidence, or lack of evidence, in a case, then the level of proof has not been met.

* Hardy once told Bertrand Russell " If I could prove by logic that you would die in five minutes, I should be sorry you were going to die, but my sorrow would be very much mitigated by pleasure in the proof ".

If this be a spirit of aggrandizement, the undersigned are prepared to admit, in that sense, its existence ; but they must deny that it affords the slightest proof of an intention not to respect the boundaries between them and European nations, or of a desire to encroach upon the territories of Great Britain.

If it did not, then the rum contained too much water and was considered to be " under proof ".

" Concerning the author, the critic said, " If ever on earth there lived a man who kept the law of Christ, and could give proof of it, and be absolutely unconscious that he was giving it to them, it is this man whom the Mongols called ' our Gilmour.

If we allow the elements of the system to use quantum computation, the system is called a quantum interactive proof system, and the corresponding complexity class is called QIP.

If the and are real numbers, a more elegant proof is available: the identity expresses the fact that the absolute value of the product of two quaternions is equal to the product of their absolute values, in the same way that the Brahmagupta – Fibonacci two-square identity does for complex numbers.

If a witness is reluctant to testify, then the personal service of subpoena is usually required with proof of service by non-party server.

If the three criteria above are met, the burden of proof shifts to the IRS and the IRS must prove that the compensation was unreasonable.
