. "The coughing," sustains no relation of In., Ex., or Con., to
the adoption of the Constitution of the U. S., and is therefore
relegated to the next chapter for the method of cementing it to that
event if we were obliged to use that phrase.

Synthesis will be sometimes hereafter resorted to to connect in our
minds an event to its date. When this will be necessary, the sequel will
show.

ANALYTIC DATE AND NUMBER WORDS.

_When the word or phrase which translates the date or number sustains
the relation of In., Ex., or Con., to the event or fact itself, that
word or phrase is analytic, and is memorised by merely assimilating that
relation._

Different ways of expressing figures by words, phrases, or sentences
that are self-connected to the fact or event will now be given.

1. SOMETIMES ALL THE SOUNDED CONSONANTS OF A WORD OR PHRASE ARE USED.

Room-mates in college are called "chums." Harvard College--the oldest
Collegiate Institution in America--really introduced "the chum age" in
America. The formula for the date of its foundation in 1636 may be
thus expressed--Harvard College founded; {th}e {ch}u{m} a{g}e [1636].

The annual production of iron in America is said to be _six million four
hundred and twenty-seven thousand, one hundred and forty-eight_ tons.
These figures may be analytically expressed thus: "Hu{g}e i{r}o{n} we
{g}e{t} {r}ou{gh}" [6,427,148 tons].

The great wall of China is 1,250 miles long. This may be expressed thus:
"{Th}ey {n}ow a high Wa{l}l see" [1250].

A characteristic of Herbert Spencer is the accuracy of his definitions.
His birth, in 1820, may be indicated by this significant phrase: "He
{D}e{f}i{n}e{s}" [1820].

2. SOMETIMES ONLY THE INITIAL CONSONANTS OF THE WORDS OR PHRASES OR
SENTENCES ARE USED.

Caius Julius Caesar was born 100 B.C., and he died 44 B.C. His birth may
be expressed by the phrase, (1) "{Th}e (0) {S}tripling (0) {C}aesar;" and
his death by a phrase which declares that his death was the remote
result of his crossing the Rubicon, thus: (4) "{R}ubicon's (4)
{R}evenge."

Marcus Tullius Cicero was born 106 B.C., and he died 43 B.C. His birth:
(1) "{T}ullius (0) {C}icero's (6) {Ch}ildhood." His death: (4) "{R}emove
(3) {M}arcus." [In allusion to the order for his death.]

The height of Egypt's greatest pyramid is 479 feet, or (4) "Wo{r}ld's
(7) {G}reatest (9) {P}yramid."

The city of Melbourne was named after Lord Melbourne in 1837, or (3)
"{M}elbourne (7) {Ch}rist
