at this phrase applies to Columbus? Would it not
apply to any one who had been ill-used?" Certainly not. It applies only
to an ill-used man whose date (birth or death, &c.) was in 1506. If he
knows of some other man who was greatly ill-used and who died in 1506,
then he must use another analytic phrase for that man. See next
paragraph.

Six distinguished persons were born in 1809, yet the date of the birth
of each is easily fixed: Darwin, whose principal work was called "Origin
of Species;" Gladstone, noted for his vigorous eloquence; Lincoln, who
was conspicuous as a binder together of separated States; Tennyson, who
was chosen as Poet-Laureate, and who was born at Somersby, England;
Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, who early displayed a musical genius, and
whose first oratorio was called "St. Paul;" Elizabeth Barrett Browning
[_nee_ Elizabeth Barrett], whose poems are distinguished for their
subjectivity. The analytic formulas for these different persons born in
the same year, 1809, may each differ from the others, thus:

Birth of Charles Darwin {S}{p}ecies (18)09

---- William Ewart Gladstone {S}{p}ellbinder (18)09

---- Abraham Lincoln {S}{p}licer (18)09

---- Alfred Tennyson, {P}oet (180)9 or (0) {S}elected (9) {P}oet
or {S}omers{b}y (09)

---- Felix Mendelssohn-{B}artholdy (180)9 or {P}recocious (180)9,
or (0) {S}t. (9) {P}aul

---- Elizabeth {B}arret Browning (180)9, or {S}u{b}jective (18)09

1. Do all pupils succeed in finding analytic date or number words
without any previous training in In., Ex., or Con.?
2. What proportion succeeded?
3. Does this not confirm the rule?
4. Do these failures ever become successes?
5. How?
6. What must be carefully studied hereafter?
7. After studying my formulas, what should the pupil do?
8. What will be the result, if the pupil acts on my advice?
9. In what ways may the different processes for dealing with dates
and numbers be classified?

Benjamin Franklin was born in 1706, and died in 1790. (0) "{S}agacious
(6) {ch}ild" would analytically fix his birth, as he was known as a
precocious boy: or the single word (06) {S}a{g}e. As he was a great
worker all his life, (90) "{B}u{s}y," or "(9) {B}enjamin (0) {C}eased"
would significantly express his death-date.

express the date._
