The soldier of fortune, whose memoirs are now introduced to the Spalding Club, had been but a short while dead when public at- tention was turned to the eight or ten thick quartos,' in which, for forty years, he had recorded, day by day, the incidents of liis eventful life. So early as 1724, a translation of the Journal from its original English into the language of the thankless country in which the writer was condemned to breathe his last, was ' Gordon's manuscripts appear to have seems occasionally to have kept more formal been scattered after his death. Some found records of the public transactions in which their way into the archives of the Foreign he was engaged. Thus, during his mission Office at Moscow; others came somehow to England in 1666, he notes in his journal into the hands of the widow of a country- that he had conferences with Lord Chan- man and namesake, who was interpreter in cellor Clarendon, but refers for an account the Admiralty at St. Petersburg. In all, of what passed to ' my booke of relations,' SIX volumes ' of the Journal have been re- or, as he elsewhere calls it my other booke covered : of my relation.' — (p. 83.)

X PREFACE. beffun by Count Ostermann, but abandoned, as it would seem, under the burden of state aflfairs which gradually pressed upon one who already a Councillor was soon to be Chancellor of Russia. A few years afterwards, Professor Baier drew from the Diary almost everything of value in his relation of the Muscovite campaigns against the Crim Tartars in 1688-89. and of the siege and capture of Asof in 1696. The work was next to fall under the eye of the learned author of the Origines gentis et nominis Russorum^ Gerard Frederic Muller. This laborious scholar was anxious that the Journal should be translated into German, then much more than now the literary language of St. Peteisburg. The task was too much for himself, but it was undertaken by his assistant, John Stritter, upon a plan which cannot be called a happy one. Regarding the work as important chiefly for the military history of Russia, he cut down or expunged almost everything which did not seem to him to bear upon that subject. The Diary, stripped in this way of many of its most interesting and characteristic details, was still farther disfigured by being recast into a narrative in the third per- son—the ' I marched,' ' I did write,' ' I was at the Czars' hands' of the original being rendered ' He marched,' ' Gordon wrote,' ' He was admitted to the presence of the Emperors.' Such as his version or adaptation was, Stritter did not live to complete it, nor did he print any part of what he had finished. Still, in some shape more or less defective, information derived from the Journal continued to find its way to the public, as many as six books built upon its foundations having appeared in Russia between 1766 and 1834. A seventh was projected in England, but was never published, and that it was even contemplated, is now known only by the allusion — PREFACE. xi of Lord Byron in a rhyming letter to his London bookseller, written from Venice in the summer of 1818. '^ Forty years passed before the first work which professed to give any adequate outline of the contents of General Gordon's Diary, as a whole, began to issue from the press of Moscow.^ It followed Stritter's ill-planned version, so far as that went. But the editor, Dr. Posselt, carefully collated the original, re- stored many passages which Stritter had curtailed or omitted, illustrated the text by valuable notes, and supplied the two great chasms in the Journal by information gleaned from other sources. From June, 1692, where his own translation began, he allowed the narrative to run, as in the original, in the first person. Dr. Posselt's work could scarcely fail to awaken interest in the land of the adventurer whose story it told. It was reviewed, in terms of just praise, in our two chief critical journals,^ and both urged the publication of at least portions of the Diary in the language in which it was written. The earlier of these reviews was from the lively and accomplished pen of the late Earl of ^ In a bantering excuse for the delay of don, wahrend seiner Kriegsdienste unter den the fourth canto of Childe Harold, Lord Schweden und Polen vom Jahre lGo5 bis Byron enumerates other works which Mr, 1661, und seines Aufenthaltes in Russland Murray is preparing to publish : vom Jahre 1661 bis 16G9, zum ersten 'Then you've General Gordon, vollstandig veroffentlicht durch Furst M.

Ellesmere, and it was published in the avowed hope that it might ' induce one of the Scotch clubs, or two or three of them in friendly alliance, to undertake an edition of selections from the original text.' The Spalding Club was specially referred to, and it lost no time in taking measures for accomplishing an object so desirable in itself, and so much in accordance with the purposes of the As- sociation.

  • 1 APPENDIX a Waters Assessed for Compliance with Designated Uses
    APPENDIX A WATERS ASSESSED FOR COMPLIANCE WITH DESIGNATED USES A - 1 APPENDIX A Waters Assessed For Compliance With Designated Uses The attached tables present lists of rivers, streams, lakes, and estuaries for which water quality data have been assessed and used to determine compliance with designated water uses. EPD considers all water quality related data that is received in its assessment of State waters. The data reviewed for the 2006 305(b) report included EPD monitoring data for rivers and streams, both trend data and intensive survey data, major lakes project data, toxic substances stream monitoring project data, aquatic biomonitoring project data, and coastal monitoring project data. The assessment also included data from other State, Federal, local governments, contracted Clean Lakes projects, electrical utility companies and other groups. A full list of data sources can be found on page A- 13. The lists are divided into three categories; waters supporting designated uses, waters partially supporting designated uses, and waters not supporting designated uses. The lists are organized by water type (rivers/streams, lakes and estuaries). The rivers/streams section is further organized by river basin. The list includes information on the location, data source, designated water use classification, and estimates of stream miles, lake acres or estuary square miles assessed. In addition, for the partial and not supporting lists, information is provided on the criterion violated, potential cause, actions planned to alleviate the problem, estimates of stream miles, lake acres or estuary square miles affected, 303(d) status, and priority. A discussion of the potential cause and actions to alleviate columns along with a discussion of priorities is given below.

Enligt arbetsfördelningen har Gunnar Artéus och jag ur skilda synpunkter behandlat befälsgrupperna inom den under 1500-talet ny­ bildade svenska krigsmakten. Jag tackar mina medforskare för stimulerande diskussioner och då särskilt Gunnar Artéus, som varit den pådrivande kraften inom projektet och även blivit den förste att slutföra sin uppgift.
