ance connected with settlements is _selecting_ the site.
Jamestown, Va., was settled in 1607, which spells "{Th}e {Ch}oo{s}i{ng}."
This phrase relates to the settlement by Concurrence. Harvard College
was founded in 1636, which spells "{T}ea{ch} {M}u{ch}." Whether we take
this phrase as describing the object or result of founding that college,
it is a case of Concurrence. A college is sometimes called a seat of
learning. Yale College was founded in 1701, which spells "{T}oo{k} a
{s}ea{t}." This phrase describes the locating of the college, and is
therefore a relation by Concurrence.

(4) THE PUPIL MUST SEEK _ANALYTIC_ WORDS WHICH ARE _APPROXIMATELY
SPECIFIC_, AS BIRTH-DATE WORDS MUST, WHERE POSSIBLE, RELATE TO BIRTH OR
JUVENILE EVENTS; MARRIAGE-DATE WORDS, TO EVENTS CONNECTED NEARLY OR
REMOTELY WITH THE MARRIAGE; DATE WORDS FOR ANY OTHER EVENT IN LIFE OR
FACT IN HISTORY SHOULD, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, RELATE TO SUCH EVENT
OR FACT; AND, FINALLY, DEATH-DATE WORDS SHOULD REFER TO INCIDENTS WHICH
PRECEDED, ACCOMPANIED, OR FOLLOWED THE FACT OF THE DEATH.

This rule, theoretically correct, must be very liberally interpreted in
practice. This lesson furnishes numerous illustrative examples.

As shown heretofore, _the pupil must know the facts_, and the System
will then help him to fix their date.

A pupil had loaned money to a horse-dealer who lived at No. 715 of a
certain street. He knew the house well, yet he could not recollect the
number 715. At length he thought of "{C}a{t}t{l}e" as a figure word to
enable him to remember the number. Yet the word is general and
apparently unconnected with the house, as it was not a stable but a
boarding-house. Yet, as cattle and horse are species of the genus
domestic animal, and cattle would recall horses and horse-dealer, he did
right to use that term, and it served him well. At first he instantly
recalled the word "cattle" whenever he thought of the horse-dealer's
residence, and at once 715 was given him. After a time, he directly
recalled 715 without first thinking of "cattle." This is always the case
where the method is applied. It is soon no longer required in that case.
When this pupil told me what he had done, I asked him why he had not
used the phrase "(7) {C}ollect (1) {Th}e (5) {L}oan," which was the
object he had in view in thinking of, or of sending to, that address.
His reply was that "cattle" served his purpose. With one person a single
word, with another a phrase, and w
