HOW TO MEMORISE DATES, &c., WHERE YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE FACTS, &c.
Let every Pupil write examples of his own selection of names Correlated
to Dates of birth and death worked out as below, or some other _pairs_
of extremes, such as name of ship to its captain on one side, and its
tonnage (or destined port) on the other.
To remember _Dates_ of _Birth_ and _Death_ (&c.) of men, correlate the
SURNAME AS BEST KNOWN to the word expressing the date of BIRTH, and
correlate the BIRTH-WORD to the DEATH [&c.] word:--
Do not look for Analytic Date-words in the following cases until you
have first memorised my Correlations or your own. You can then review
the examples and easily find Analytic Date-words if you are
_sufficiently acquainted_ with the facts of the cases, as: Lord
Beaconsfield (18)05, {S}a{l}ient.[J] Here is a supposed Analytic formula
by English Liberals, of Gladstone's birth:--Gladstone--"{S}u{p}reme"
(18)09; by Foreigners--"{S}u{p}ereminen
