Napoleon Bonaparte was born in 1769. As a boy he was finely formed.
"{Sh}a{p}ely" (69) gives his birth-date by In. by A. and C. He evinced
the opposite of the temper usually ascribed to the "{Sh}e{p}herd-boy"
(69)--a birth-date by Ex. "{Ch}a{p}let"--a wreath or garland signed
for by him in his ambitious hopes--expresses his birth-date by Con. His
death occurred in 1821. "E{n}{d}" (21) or "U{n}{d}one" (21) expresses
his death-date by synonymous Inclusion. "{N}a{t}ivity" (21) indicates it
by Ex. Since he died from cancer in the stomach, he could retain very
little food. "I{n}{d}igestion" (21) makes his death-date by Con.
Wellington's birth, in 1769, may be expressed by "{Sh}ee{p}-faced" (69),
a term his own mother applied to him when a boy. In his childhood, he
was blue-eyed, hawk-nosed, slender, and ungainly, "{Ch}u{b}by" (69), by
Ex., expresses his birth-date. A more vivid concurrence can scarcely be
imagined, since he and Bonaparte were both born in the same year, 1769.
Wellington died in 1852 at Wilmer Castle. "Wi{l}{m}er" expresses the date
of his death by only one year too many. But a means of remembrance that
requires readjustment or modification can seldom be relied upon, except
by those who are practised in Higher Analysis. He was 83 years old when
he died. "{L}a{n}tern-jawed" (52) expresses his death-date by In., by A.
and C. No man was ever more honored after his death than Wellington.
"A{l}ie{n}ated" (52) expresses his death-date by Ex. A sudden illness
carried him off. Hence "I{l}l{n}ess" (52) is a fact connected with his
death by Con.
These elaborate illustrations must indicate to any student how to apply
the laws of In., Ex., and Con., so as to find analytic date and number
words. Cases of Ex. give good practice, but are rarely ever necessary.
