=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 of his parents sustains the
relation also of In. to them. Let the pupil pause here, and before
his next session of study of these events, let him recite these
ten backwards and forwards several times from memory.
=10 and 11--In.=--Brother and sister possessing in common the blood of
their parents is a case of In.
=11 and 12--Ex.=--Here is a birth contrasted with a death.--It is Ex.
=12 and 13--Ex.=--Death on the one hand and on the other a widespread
effort to bring into existence Acts of Parliament.
Self-destruction contrasted with efforts at production.
=13 and 14--In.=--Here are two winners and two losers. The parties
opposed to Chartists defeat the hearing of this proposed motion;
and the British soldiers gain a victory over the Boers. Success in
common makes a case of In. on the part of the victorious parties.
And then the Chartists lost their proposed hearing and the Boers
were beaten. This is the second In.
=14 and 15--Ex.=--A resort to arms contrasted with a resort to
diplomacy.
=15 and 16--Ex.=--A treaty between the two greatest nations of the
earth, and loss of 10,000 men. A triumph of Peace and a triumph in
War.
=16 and 17--Ex.=--The death of a multitude of soldiers and a birth in
the highest family of the realm.
=17 and 18--Ex. and In.=--A birth and a death gives Ex. A _royal_ birth
with all the advantages it brings, and the advantage of the
inheritance of great fortunes, makes a clear case of In.
=18 and 19--Ex. and In.=--Similar relations to those spoken of in the
last paragraph.
=19 and 20--Ex.=--To the taxpayer the endowment of the Duke of Edinburgh
might seem to be a burden imposed--and the abolition of
imprisonment for debt below L20, would be looked upon as a burden
removed. Here we have Ex.
As before suggested, let the pupil recite the foregoing ten events
forwards and the reverse way several times from memory. And then let him
similarly recite the entire twenty events.
=20 and 21--In.=--Favoring poor people--debtors and poor
students--characterises both events.
=21 and 22--In.=--This college among other things prosecuted the study
of Philosophy--"the complete unification of knowledge"--Faraday
_unified_ three elements.

in business.

As to the dates of the 100 events, they will cause no difficulty. The
pupil should look upon my formulas as models merely, and make his own
whenever possible. In all the events belonging to this century, we have
only to deal with the last two figures--(3) {M}odel (7) {Q}ueen gives
the date of (18)37. The rule in regard to the month and the day of the
month is very easily applied. A separate word for each figure except for
the three months [October, November and December] where there are two
figures in the one word that expresses the number of the month, as
{t}ie{s}, {d}ue{s}, '{t}i{s}, {th}u{s}, {th}i{s}, {th}o{s}e, express
October, the tenth month; {th}a{t}, {d}i{d}, {d}ie{d}, {d}o{t}, {d}a{t}e,
{t}hough{t}, &c., &c., indicate November, the eleventh month; and
{th}e{n}, {th}i{n}, {t}o{n}e, {t}u{n}e, a{t}tai{n}, &c., &c., mean
December, the twelfth month. A {M}odel {Q}ueen {J}ust i{n} {s}eason--Just
in its "J" means the sixth month, or {J}une, and "n" in "i{n}" and "s"
in {s}eason means a cypher--or 20--the translation of the phrase is
