rid of his wife; her death at last released him. (38) William IV. had

herself to be a "Model Queen."

If you know that the number of square[E] miles in the area of the State
of New York runs into _thousands_, and you wish to remember that the
_exact number_ of thousands is 47, you could accomplish this object if
you found a word which spells 47, and is at the same time connected by
In., Ex., or Con. to New York. You try the varieties of Inclusion; and
in synonymous Inclusion you find 47 in the word "Yo{r}{k}" itself, the
"y" having no figure value, and "r" standing for 4, and "k" for 7; thus
you cannot _see_ the name of New York or _think of it_ without having
conclusive evidence of the number of thousands of square miles the State
contains.

The title of a subject, the name or description of an event or date, can

otherwise indefinite thing definite, it is sufficient.

_Analytic date and number words do not have to be memorised._--Seeing is
believing, and, in this case, _remembering_ too. If you thoroughly
master my system you can find, in most cases, analytic date and number
words without any difficulty, and by means of them you can remember
_thousands_ of dates and sets of figures, when without the system you
could have remembered only five or ten of them.

Suppose in your haste you failed to notice that "York" spells 47, and
you then proceed to try Inclusion by Genus and Species; regarding York
as the general word, you would find _New_ York as a species or kind of
York; the same with Yorkshire, Yorktown, York Minster, etc. In this way
you would, if your mastery of the Figure Alp
