1. Why could not "feel" be left out?
2. Why not omit "science," and say "medical arts"?
3. Why not omit "angels" and "harps," and simply add "celestial" to "hymns"?
4. If the pupil does not know who "Hengler" is, should we not omit the name and insert instead "singing clown"?
5. Why should not "fare" be a better In. by sound with "gare" than "guard"?
6. If tapestry means other things besides carpets, would not "tapestry carpet" be a sufficient intermediate?
7. If "pelle" is p.r.o.nounced as if applied "pel," ought not "Pall Mall" to be p.r.o.nounced as if spelled "Pell Mell"?

Synonyms, as well as words having but a slight difference in sound like _Insidious_ and _Invidious_ are easily discriminated by _memorised_ Correlations: INSIDIOUS ... inside ... hole ... fox ...
TREACHERY.--INVIDIOUS ... invade ... hostility ... ILL-WILL.
1. Is the letter "i" in Zio p.r.o.nounced as if spelled Zeeo?
2. If so, is "pew" a good In. by sound with Pio?
3. Why would not these be good correlations, viz., INSIDIOUS, hideous ... moral turpitude ... TREACHERY.--INVIDIOUS ...
perfidious ... betrayal. ILL-WILL.
4. How many correlations have you made so far?
5. Have you made your own in every case, or memorised mine in every case?
6. Have you indicated the relations in all cases by writing in 1, 2, or 3?
7. If not, why not?
HOW TO MEMORISE DATES, &c., WHERE YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE FACTS, &c.
Let every Pupil write examples of his own selection of names Correlated to Dates of birth and death worked out as below, or some other _pairs_ of extremes, such as name of s.h.i.+p to its captain on one side, and its tonnage (or destined port) on the other.
To remember _Dates_ of _Birth_ and _Death_ (&c.) of men, correlate the SURNAME AS BEST KNOWN to the word expressing the date of BIRTH, and correlate the BIRTH-WORD to the DEATH [&c.] word:--
Do not look for a.n.a.lytic Date-words in the following cases until you have first memorised my Correlations or your own. You can then review the examples and easily find a.n.a.lytic Date-words if you are _sufficiently acquainted_ with the facts of the cases, as: Lord Beaconsfield (18)05, {S}a{l}ient.[J] Here is a supposed a.n.a.lytic formula by English Liberals, of Gladstone's birth:--Gladstone--"{S}u{p}reme"
(18)09; by Foreigners--"{S}u{p}ereminent;" by Tories, "{S}{p}oliator;" by Home Rulers--"{S}u{p}porter;" by Parnellites--"A{s}{p}erser;" by Churchmen--"{S}{p}iritual;" by Agnostics--"{S}u{p}erst.i.tious;" by Unionists--"{S}e{p}aratist;" by admirers of eloquence--"{S}{p}ellbinder;"
by decriers of speaking--"{S}{p}outer."
[J] One of the meanings of "Salient" is "to force itself on the attention." Recall his threat when coughed down on the occasion of his maiden speech in the House of Commons. "You will hear me" (18)05.
1. Memorise the correlation you make.
2. Do you find it difficult to get a.n.a.lytic date-words?
3. What is necessary in order to get them readily?
