_When the word or phrase used to translate figures sustains no relation
of In., Ex., or Con., to the event itself, that word or phrase is
synthetic and is dealt with hereafter._
Nearly all the translating words given in this section so far are
synthetic. "The coughing," sustains no relation of In., Ex., or Con., to
the adoption of the Constitution of the U. S., and is therefore
relegated to the next chapter for the method of cementing it to that
event if we were obliged to use that phrase.
Synthesis will be sometimes hereafter resorted to to connect in our
minds an event to its date. When this will be necessary, the sequel will
show.
