  • Latex on Windows
    LaTeX on Windows Installing MikTeX and using TeXworks, as described on the main LaTeX page, is enough to get you started using LaTeX on Windows. This page provides further information for experienced users. Tips for using TeXworks Forward and Inverse Search If you are working on a long document, forward and inverse searching make editing much easier. • Forward search means jumping from a point in your LaTeX source file to the corresponding line in the pdf output file. • Inverse search means jumping from a line in the pdf file back to the corresponding point in the source file. In TeXworks, forward and inverse search are easy. To do a forward search, right-click on text in the source window and choose the option "Jump to PDF". Similarly, to do an inverse search, right-click in the output window and choose "Jump to Source". Other Front End Programs Among front ends, TeXworks has several advantages, principally, it is bundled with MikTeX and it works without any configuration. However, you may want to try other front end programs. The most common ones are listed below. • Texmaker. Installation notes: 1. After you have installed Texmaker, go to the QuickBuild section of the Configuration menu and choose pdflatex+pdfview. 2. Before you use spell-check in Texmaker, you may need to install a dictionary; see section 1.3 of the Texmaker user manual. • Winshell. Installation notes: 1. Install Winshell after installing MiKTeX. 2. When running the Winshell Setup program, choose the pdflatex-optimized toolbar. 3. Winshell uses an external pdf viewer to display output files.

  • 2015 Town Report Suite 225, 10 Water St., Lebanon, NH 03766
    TOWN OF HANOVER NEW HAMPSHIRE ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2015 & 2016 TOWN MEETING ANNUAL TOWN MEETING Tuesday, May 10, 2016 Voting: 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Business Meeting: 7:00 p.m. Hanover High School Gymnasium 41 Lebanon Street FIRE DEPARTMENT IN REMEMBRANCE JERYL L. FRANKENFIELD On September 13, 2015, the Town of Hanover lost a valued friend. Jerry was the cornerstone of the Fire Department, spending a 42 year career working in various positions for the department, most recently that of the Deputy Fire Chief / Hanover Fire Marshal. Jerry was a thoughtful, passionate person who valued codes, rules and regulations. His goal was to make both the Town of Hanover and the Dartmouth campus a safer place for its citizens and students. His job required him to work with people of all walks of life and he earned the respect of professors, administrators, contractors and laborers alike. He had a valued, longstanding working relationship with Dartmouth College and he knew top to bottom every building on campus, as well as in the Town. As a tribute to Jerry for his service to their community, on September 25-26, 2015, Dartmouth College lowered their flag to half-staff on the Green; a tradition reserved to honor deceased trustees, students, faculty and staff and one that speaks volumes. Jerry was highly respected by those he worked with at the Hanover schools and he remained a volunteer for the high school’s annual Project Graduation long after his children had graduated. On a personal side, Jeryl was an avid collector of antique John Deere tractors and a member of many clubs.

  • A Boston Bookstore at the Turn of the Century
    A Boston Bookstore at the Turn of the Century BY FREDERIC G. MELCHER ^ liHE suggestion of this subject for a paper before the X. American Antiquarian Society was mine, and I appre- ciate the confidence of your Director that this subject might be made interesting and suitable. The history of the Ameri- can book trade has interested me increasingly as years have gone by. Sixty-one of them have passed since I accepted a chance to start work in the Boston bookshop of Lauriat, then Estes and Lauriat. I had prepared for Massachusetts Tech at Newton High School, but at the last moment had turned firmly against science and had decided to go to work, as college entrance then required more of Greek and Latin. Jobs were scarce in 1895 as the business cycle was at one of its low ebbs because of the "panic of '93" and the silver tide threatening from the West. That I turned, so fortunately for me, to retailing for a vocation, then considered without prestige or glamor, was due to the influence of my Grandfather Bartlett, who had inherited from Atkins uncles a part inter- est in a four-story French roof building at 301-305 Wash- ington Street, directly opposite the Old South Church, whose chief ground floor and basement tenant was Estes and Lauriat. The publishing department under Dana Estes had just moved to its newly erected building at 212 Summer Street, while the bookselling was continued under Mr. Lauriat at the 301 frontage on Washington Street. 38 AMERICAN ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY [April, I have now been away from Boston forty years and more, but those first years are as clear and vivid as any of my sixty years with books.
