Considering how unkindly treated many of them have been, we find an analytic phrase which fits the fact--"{N}o {r}e{d} {m}a{n} ha{p}py." The population of the state of New York in 1880 was five millions, eighty-two thousand, eight hundred and seventy-one (5,082,871). An analytic phrase founded on any conspicuous characteristic of the population, or on any prominent aspect of the geography of the State [Niagara Falls, for instance], which many of its people have witnessed, would suffice, or "A (5) {L}egal (0) {C}ensus (8) O{f} (2) {N}ew-York's (8) {F}olks (7) {C}omprising (1) Eigh{t}y's." The pupil who conscientiously studies the rules and examples in this lesson will find that he can have the great satisfaction of always being exact and reliable in regard to numbers. 1. Give an original analytic phrase expressing the number of acres in Yellowstone National Park. 2. Why do we not give all three of the l's in the word "loyally" a figure value? 3. In translating the word "debt," why is it not 191 instead of 11? 4. What makes these phrases easy to remember? 5. Give an analytic phrase expressing the number of patents granted in the United States. 6. What great satisfaction can the conscientious pupil always have? 7. Suppose, when the pupil reaches this page, he has learned that the number of the population, or of patents, or of Masons, Odd Fellows, &c., has changed, what is he to do? 8. Must he not deal with the latest statement of the fact, and find his own analytic number words? DATES OF THE ACCESSION OF THE AMERICAN PRESIDENTS. The date-words opposite each name can be learned by _one_ careful analytic perusal. If the relation is not understood in any case, a glance at the explanations which follow the series of Presidents will remove all doubt or difficulty. [*]GEORGE WASHINGTON {F}a{b}ian (1789).
