LYSIS OF ONE HUNDRED EVENTS OF THE VICTORIAN ERA. =1 and 2--Con. and In.=--The Victorian Era began June 20, 1837, and an Act for the abolition of the death penalty for forgery, &c., was passed nearly a month later. Here is the relation of Sequence or Con. The main motive for enacting the law was doubtless sympathy. Death appeared to be too cruel for the crime; hence the _sympathy_ on the part of the Sovereign, the founder of the Era, and of the legislators brought the Act into existence. Here we have the relation of Simple Inclusion. =2 and 3--Ex.=--Criminals try to live by their wits, without work. The trade unionists live by labour. The modes of livelihood of these two classes are opposed. Hence it is Ex. =3 and 4--In. and Ex.=--Trades union people and navigators are laborers.--Here is In. But the former work mostly at home or in their own country, and the sailors are engaged beyond the boundaries of their native country.--Here is Ex. from difference of locality. =4 and 5--In.=--The sailors on the Great Western worked beyond the limits of their native country, and an International Copyright Law extends its influence even into the area of foreign lands. In the view of the sphere of operation these two cases contain an element in common.--Hence it is In. =5 and 6--Ex.=--The International Copyright Law was enacted after long and earnest agitation--but all legal.--The Chartist agitators had to be suppressed. Here are conditions opposed to each other.--It is Ex. =6 and 7--Ex.=--The Chartist agitation was extreme, and was proclaimed illegal. The Anti-Corn Law League acted prudently and within the law. Here again are opposed conditions. It is Ex. =7 and 8--In.=--The Anti-Corn Law League was organised to help give cheap food to the masses. The Penny Postage Act was enacted to help the poor man, to save expense. A similar aim prompted the supporters of both measures.--It is In. =8 and 9--Ex.=--Favouring the masses by cheap postage calls attention to the majority or the great body of the people. The marriage of the highest dignitaries of the State directs attention to the most favoured or exalted personages in the country. The extremes of the community are brought into relation. It is Ex. =9 and 10--Con. and In.=--Parents and child is a Sequence. Hence Con. and a child possessing the blood
