examples: text: Engels says that, in seizing state power, the proletariat thereby “abolishes the state as state". It is not done to ponder over the meaning of this. Generally, it is either ignored altogether, or is considered to be something in the nature of “Hegelian weakness” on Engels’ part. As a matter of fact, however, these words briefly express the experience of one of the greatest proletarian revolutions, the Paris Commune of 1871, of which we shall speak in greater detail in its proper place. As a matter of fact, Engels speaks here of the proletariat revolution “abolishing” the bourgeois state, while the words about the state withering away refer to the remnants of the proletarian state after the socialist revolution. According to Engels, the bourgeois state does not “wither away”, but is “abolished” by the proletariat in the course of the revolution. What withers away after this revolution is the proletarian state or semi-state.

text: 1988, Staff writer, Foreword, [1933, Norbert Wiener, The Fourier Integral and Certain of Its Applications], Cambridge University Press, 1988 reissue, page xi,
Not only did the general Tauberian theorem give a unifying view on questions involving summations and limits, but it introduced a paradigm for what was called abstract harmonic analysis a few years later. […] Generalized harmonic analysis is the subject-matter of the last chapter, though it was conceived before the Tauberian theorems.
text: We should emphasize that our main concern is — besides the presentation of Tauberian theorems in the case of special summability methods — to put, by way of examples, different methods in the hands of the reader to prove Tauberian theorems in the case of special summability methods.
