one when we wish to find date-words the events of
which took place previous to the last century?
2. Can a person easily forget analytic date-words formed by
himself?

_Exclusion._--The first steamship crossed the Atlantic in 1819. 19 is
found in "{T}u{b}" by Exclusion, as the most opposite to a steam-driven
ship. Andrew Johnson was advanced to the Presidency on the death of
Abraham Lincoln in 1865. 65 is expressed by Exclusion in the word
"{Sh}e{l}ved," which means the opposite of promotion [or by two words,
thus: (6) {J}ohnson (5) E{l}evated]. "{M}e{n}dacious" expresses by
Exclusion the birth of George Washington in 1732, as indicating a
youthful quality the opposite of that which he manifested, and by two
words: (3) A{m}erica's (2) I{n}fant. Other examples are given in
subsequent pages.

_Concurrence_ finds incidents or concomitants of a fact or event,
something that by accident became connected with it. It may be a
forerunner or successor, the cause or consequence, or a contemporaneous
fact, etc.

William Cullen Bryant, from a fall, died in 1878. The last two figures
78 are found by Concurrence in the initial consonants of the phrase "(7)
{C}ullen's (8) {F}all." Cullen will be easily identified, as the middle
name of Bryant. When Jefferson became Vice-President, in 1797, he wore
the customary big-wig; and the first two consonants of "{B}i{g}-wig"
express by Concurrence that date.

Artillery was invented in 1340. 340 indicates that date, and by
Concurrence we find those figures in the first three consonants of
"{M}e{r}{c}iless." Or (3) {M}urderous (4) A{r}tillery's (0) {S}courge.
Plymouth (Mass.) was settled in 1620. 620 will indicate it. We find
these figures in "{Ch}a{n}{c}e," which by Concurrence describes the risk
they ran. The Telephone was invented in 1877. Whoever has listened to
the telephone to identify a speaker, and heard others talking in the
shrill tones that strike upon the ear, is apt to think of the cackling
of hens, and "{C}a{ck}le" expresses the date 77.

Jefferson Davis disguised himself in the hood, shawl, and dress of his
wife in 1865. "{Sh}aw{l}" by Concurrence expresses that date. The
Constitution of the United States was _adopted_ in 1787, which spells
"{Th}e {G}i{v}i{ng}." To adopt the Constitution, it required the States
to give their assent. They _gave_ the Federal Government all the power
it possessed. "{Th}e {G}i{v}i{ng}" is therefore a case of Concurrence. A
