1. Who applied the term "sheep-faced" to Wellington when he was a boy? 2. What is the most vivid case of Con. here given? 3. Why do we not give a value to both l's in the word "illness"? 4. What do these illustrations indicate? 5. What does inclusion as applied to the events of life possess? 6. Why is it not necessary to have a date-word to express the date of Hamilton's death in which the 0 is indicated as well as the 4?
Sherman made his famous march through the South in 1864. 64 is found in the word { Sh}e{ r}man [or by two words: (6) { Sh}erman (4) { R}avaging]. In dates previous to the last century, the last three figures must be expressed. Movable types were invented in 1438. We know it was not A.D. 438, but was 1438; a mistake of 1,000 years is not possible. If we translate 438 it will mean to us the same as 1438. 438 is found in the analytic word (438) "{ R}e{ m}o{ v}able" [or, to express all the numbers, thus: (1) { T}ypes (4) a{ r}e (3) { m}ovable (8) { f}igures].
The Phonograph was invented in 1877. The expression of 77 is found in { C}o{ g}nate, and that indicates the resemblance of the human mechanism to receive sounds to the Phonograph; for both processes utilize vibrations, and are therefore from similarity of functions "Cognate" methods. How any one could forget analytic date-words is more than I can understand, especially when formed by himself.
1. What must be done when we wish to find date-words the events of which took place previous to the last century? 2. Can a person easily forget analytic date-words formed by himself?
_Exclusion._--The first steamship crossed the Atlantic in 1819. 19 is found in "{ T}u{ b}" by Exclusion, as the most opposite to a steam-driven ship. Andrew Johnson was advanced to the Presidency on the death of Abraham Lincoln in 1865. 65 is expressed by Exclusion in the word "{ Sh}e{ l}ved," which means the opposite of promotion [or by two words, thus: (6) { J}ohnson (5) E{ l}evated]. "{ M}e{ n}dacious" expresses by Exclusion the birth of George Washington in 1732, as indicating a youthful quality the opposite of that which he manifested, and by two words: (3) A{ m}erica's (2) I{ n}fant. Other examples are given in subsequent pages.
_Concurrence_ finds incidents or concomitants of a fact or event, something that by accident became connected with it. It may be a forerunner or successor, the cause or consequence, or a contemporaneous fact, etc.
