Effect of roll of ship on fall of shot when using direction fire
CIVINS (Civilian Institutions) Thesis documentThe purpose of this thesis is the Investigation of range error introduced in the fall of shot by the rolling of the ship, when using Director Fire and the method of correcting for these errors for the initial shot. The conditions to be investigated which cause this error in the fall of shot are: (1) Motion of the Sighting instrument relative to a fixed plane on the ship. (2) Motion of the gun during the firing interval, and (3) Motion of the ship imparting velocities to the projectile which tend to move it out of its calculated path.http://www.archive.org/details/effectofrollofsh00clarCIVINSLieutenant, United States Nav

There are other considerations, highly important, and not foreign to the great question of an extension of territory, but which may without any inconvenience or commitment, be postponed, and should not be permitted to impede the immediate termination of this lamentable war. I have gone farther than I intended. It is said that a rallying point is wanted by the friends of peace. Let them unite, boldly express their opinions, and use their utmost endeavors in promoting an immediate termination of the war. For the people, no other banner is necessary. But their representatives in Congress assembled are alone competent to ascertain, alone vested with the legitimate power of deciding what course should be pursued at this momentous crisis, what are the best means for carrying into effect their own views, whatever these may be
