DUTTON AND COMPANY LONDON : ARTHUR L. HUMPHREYS 1919 SECOND EDITION REVISED AND ENLARGED PREFACE The first edition of A St. Helena Whos Wlio was limited to one hundred and fifty copies, for it was felt that the book could appeal only to those who were students of the period of Napoleon's captivity in St. Helena. The author soon found, however, that the edition was insuffi- cient to meet the demand, and he was obliged, with regret, to inform many who desired to possess the book that the issue was exhausted. In the present edition the original form in which the work appeared has been retained, but fresh material has been included, and many corrections have been made which, it is hoped, will render the book more useful. vu CONTENTS PAQI Introduction ....... 1 The Island or St. Helena and its Administration . 7 Military ....... 8 Naval ....... 9 Civil ....... 10 The Population of St. Helena in 1820 . .15 The Expenses of Administration in St. Helena in 1817 15 The Residents at Longwood . .16 Topography— Principal Residences . .19 The Regiments in St. Helena . .22 The 53rd Foot Regiment (2nd Battalion) . 22 The 66th Foot Regiment (2nd Battalion) . 26 The 66th Foot Regiment (1st Battalion) . 29 The 20th Foot Regiment .

  • 1502-1629 THOUGH It Did Not Take Place Until Fifteen Years Later, the Discovery of St
    CHAPTER I 1502-1629 THOUGH it did not take place until fifteen years later, the discovery of St. Helena became inevitable AL when the Portuguese navigator, Bartholomew de Diaz, rounded the Cape of Good Hope in 1487. For many years the Portuguese, the greatest race of sailors who ever ventured into uncharted seas, excluded from the Mediterranean, had gradually explored farther and farther along the mysterious unmapped western coast of Africa. Ten years after the epoch-making discovery of Diaz and after Columbus and Cabot had opened up the Atlantic to the races of the West and North of Europe, the King of Portugal, Emmanuel the Fortunate, sent out a fleet under the command of Vasco da Gama with orders to sail beyond the Cape of Good Hope in search of a direct sea route to India and thus tap the wealth of the East. Hitherto for centuries all trade between Europe and the East had been carried overland across Arabia, and by ship along the Mediterranean, and had been in the hands of the Italian cities of Venice and Genoa. Da Gama achieved his ambition, and arrived at Calicut, on the west coast of the Indian Peninsula, and from that day the Mediterranean, which for centuries had been the centre of civilization, began to decline. The Portuguese lost no time in building forts and setting up trading posts along the west coast of India, but their principal one was at Calicut. I 5 021 ST. HELENA ST. HELENA [1502 It is not to be wondered at that the "Moors" or Arabs who by some strange fluke of fortune, is still existing and to be for centuries had held the monopoly of the trade between found in considerable numbers.

  • Reutilización De Ontologías En Un Dominio Restringido
    Reutilización de ontologías en un dominio restringido Enrique P. Latorres Universidad ORT del Uruguay Montevideo, URUGUAY, 11000 [email protected] [email protected] Resumen Se plantea un conjunto de hipótesis para la validez de la reutilización de conocimiento. Si los sistemas del futuro deberán estar basados en la reutilización eficiente del conocimiento, esto será posible sólo si efectivamente representan una ventaja contra los sistemas actuales. Así la construcción de nuevo conocimiento a partir de una base de conocimiento de dominios similares debería ayudar a construir nuevas instancias de conocimiento sin grandes esfuerzos y el nivel de reutilización podría ser mejor que simplemente partir de un modelo similar particular. Además la creación de conocimiento muchas veces está basado en la visión operacional del dominio y las sub- clases generalmente son diseñadas de forma algo descuidada o se implementan lo necesario para la infraestructura de lo que se trata de implementar. Esto implica que conocimiento tácito del dominio puede ser implementado de diversas formas y que eventualmente no sea integrado en forma efectiva, debido a visiones divergentes en el diseño de diversas ontologías. Sin embargo comparados estos diseños, algunos de los elementos conceptualizables de conocimiento podrían ser extraídos de la base de conocimiento al identificar patrones que se repiten. Una vez reconocidos podrían ser explícitamente conceptualizados para que sean reutilizados por los expertos del dominio. El experimento trata estos casos en un ejemplo y se presentan los resultados obtenidos. Este trabajo muestra resultados de una experiencia donde se mide la similitud y reutilización de componentes semánticos entre varias ontologías, las cuales están relacionadas por dominios similares.

Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1862, by DICK & FITZGERALD, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States, for the Southern District of New York. - Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1876, BY DICK & FITZGERALD, In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D. C. PREFACE. In all ages of the world, and in all countries, men have in­ dulged in "so­ cial drinks." They have al­ ways possess­ ed themselves of some popu­ lar beverage apart from water and those of the breakfast and tea table. Whether it is judicious that mankind should con­ tinue to indulge in such things, or whether it would be wiser to abstain from all enjoyments of that character, it is not our province to decide. We leave that question to the moral philosopher. We simply contend that a relish for "social drinks" is universal; that those drinks exist in greater variety in the United States than in any other country in the world; and that he, therefore, who proposes to impart to these drink not only the most palatable but the most wholesome characteristics of which they may be made susceptible, is a genuine public benefactor.
