When the Alphabet has been learned, and the above rules
committed to memory, the learner should practice on the
above examples, and the two following pages, until the
number of any word can be given readily, after the word
has been mentioned. The art of translating words in Mne
motechny, is, to articulate them before they are translated,
and always articulate them as they are pronounced. After
some practice on the preceding examples, and the two fol
lowing pages, the learner will find further instructions on

Formulas.
A Plate, - - - will not hold as much as
PLATEA. A War-cup.
Dirty Gin, - - - is about as good drink, as
DETTINGEN. Thick Rum
The translations of the phrases “War-cup” and “Thick
Rum” give the dates. “But why,” asks the learner, “can
not a formula be made directly on the subject of the Battle
of Dettingen, as well as on another subject of an entirely
different nature ?” We will answer. If we had but one
battle, or three or four, to Mnemonize, we could do so, and
remember the Mnemotechnic Phrases; but when we come
to learn scores, or hundreds, we find BY EXPERIENCE, our
best guide, that we can not remember the formulas. If we
should attempt to remember the word Fatal in connection
with the Battle of Waterloo, and the word Vessel in con
nection with the Battle of Trafalgar, provided we had but
those two Battle formulas to remember, we could doubtless do
it; but hundreds of other Battles were very fatal besides
the Battle of Waterloo, and many others were fought on
vessels besides the one in Trafalgar Bay. Let any person
that is not favorably impressed with Homophonic Analo
gies at first sight, sit down and make plain formulas as we
do for Historical Dates in general, for, say fifty Battles, or
fifty Distinguished Men, and then attempt to remember the
Phrases he has selected, and if he has not a hard task, then
he does things easily that we have always found difficult.
The explanation appears to be this. In making and learn
ing formulas for hundreds of Battles, without Homophonic
Analogies, we have but one subject on which to construct
all our sentences; and, consequently, we can not get good
and appropriate Phrases; but where we use Homophonic
Analogies we have as many, or nearly as many subjects as
we have Battles. Then in learning them, the name of the
Battle readily suggests the Homophonic term, by the like.

been Charlemagne. “Gay Chief in Russia,” stands for 768,
the date, and 46, the number of years the reign continued.
In the next formula, the word Wind gives us 21 for the
number of the Sovereign in the succession, FIN gives us
Philip II., and “Hide or Dive for Sea-room,” gives the date,
1180, and the years of the reign, 43. If a certain King in
the succession is wanted, like the 10th., the word Woods
as the 10th. word of the Table, and beginning the 10th. for
mula, will call to mind RABBIT, for Robert I., and “Open
Den,” for 921, the date, and 2, the years of the reign. If
the reign of a particular Sovereign is wanted, for example,
John II., the word JUNE as its Homophonic is recollected,
when, if our formulas are well committed to memory, we shall
remember Meadow as commencing the formula, giving us
31, as the number of the Sovereign, and the closing phrase,
“Meal or Straw,” gives us 1350, the date, and 14 years for
the length of the reign.
Though there is apparently more matter to commit to
memory in this way, than to go to work and learn the Table
of the Kings, their dates, and all at once, on pages 134
and 135, yet the student need not think it more difficult.
On the other hand, it is far easier to learn the Nomenclature
Table, Homophonics and Formulas; and when once thor
oughly learned, it will not be readily forgotten. As an en
couragement to the student, we will mention, what is true,
that in a very extensive acquaintance we have never known
but two persons who had ever learned the dates and succes
sions of the reigns of either the French or the English
-
130 MNEMOTECHNY, or
Harrow. The first one, Hat, will call to mind the word
Rose, which articulates re, ze, standing for 4, 0. The word
Honey gives us Bowl, or be, le; 9, 5. The word Home gives
us Night, or me, te; 2, 1. Harrow gives us Lad, or le, de;
5, 1; being altogether 4, 0, 9, 5, 2, 1, 5, 1, the same as the
original list. To recite them backward, we begin at Har
row, and go back to Hat, translating each word backward.
To give any figure, for instance, the sixth one in the list;
knowing that it must be the last one in the third couplet, we
find it in the word associated with Home, being Night.
The last articulation being te, the sixth figure must be 1.
The seventh figure must be the first one in the fourth coup
let, and of course will be found in the word associated with
Harrow. The word is Lad, which gives us le, or 5, for the
seventh figure. By having two figures given at a time, and
a few moments to make each association, a list of fifty, one
hundred, or five hundred figures can be learned in a few
minutes, and recited accurately and fluently both forward
and backward. The utility of this method of learning
names and figures may be questioned by some, on a first
examination, but a little practice will show its great advan
tage over the ordinary method of learning. It may be
asked, “Will these impressions be durable, and never be for
gotten ?” Never is a long word. There are circumstances
occurring daily, where names or figures are to be remem.
bered for only a short time; perhaps a few hours, or a day
or two. When we remember them for the time required,
the object for which they were learned being accomplished,
we naturally lose the impression on our minds, as we might
wish to. Where a permanent impression is required, by
repeating a few times, and charging our minds with the sub
ject, we can make a permanent impression, as in the Tables
of the Sovereigns of France or England. Another method
of learning a long list of figures will be shown in a future
lesson: also other uses of this Nomenclature Table.

If the Instructions for the Battles, on page 203, and the following
three pages, have been carefully looked over by the learner, there
will be no difficulty in understanding the formulas for the flowers.
To the above-mentioned pages, the reader is referred for an ex
planation of Homophonic Analogies. If we knew the reason
why the flowers have the language that is given them, we could
easily learn them without the aid of our Art; but, in most cases,
we are ignorant of the habits or uses of the flower that give rise
to the sentiment. In a large number of cases there is believed
to be no reason existing for the sentiments that are given the
flowers. Where that has been known, it has been given in the
formula. The sentiments of Moving Plant, Agitation, Sensitive
Plant, Sensitiveness, and some others, are very obvious from the
name and habits of the plants, but not so the most of the flowers
in our catalogue. Why does ARUM convey the language of
“Ferocity and Deceit 2" We do not know; but by a formula
we can easily connect the flower with the sentiment.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR
IN the three following pages, the learner will find the most
prominent Mythological characters, with the offices attributed to
them. They are so often mentioned in Poetry, Ancient History,
and the Classics, that a familiarity with their attributes is indis
pensable that we may the more readily understand our reading.
Many of them are doubtless familiar to the reader already. As
will be seen, they are arranged in alphabetical order, under their
appropriate heads of Celestial Deities, Terrestrial Deities, etc.
The Nine Muses, with the departments of Poetry and the Fine
Arts, which they preside over, are on the same page with the
Seven Wonders of the World, the Seven Wise Men of Greece,
and the Twelve Labors of Hercules. It will be well to commit
these, by associating them with words in the Nomenclature Ta
bles. The Twelve Labors, can be associated with the first
twelve words of the Second Nomenclature Table; and the Nine
Muses with the first nine words of the First Table. The Seven
Wise Men, and Seven Wonders, can each be associated with the
seven words in each Nomenclature Table, beginning with word
No. 51. .
The attributes of each Deity, or Divinity, in the Mythological
Tables—or the definitions, as we may call them—may be com
mitted to memory as they are printed, except the more difficult
ones, which can be drawn off, and formulas constructed for them
by the learner, in the same style as the flower formulas. Find
ing Homophonic Analogies, and constructing the formulas, will be
an excellent exercise.
The formulas for the Planets, on page 241, give the correct
Mythological definitions of the characters as there mentioned.
and will be easily committed by the learner. The Phrases in those
formulas give the distance that each planet is from the Sun, in
millions of miles. For the pronunciation of the difficult names
in the Mythological Tables, the learner is referred to the Pro
mouncing Index, commencing on page 251.

We will try and find a word or phrase for the date that
“Canals in Modern Style were first Known in Europe”—
1481. We turn to that number, but find no word that suits
us. Knowing that in Modern Dates, we can leave off the
first figure (1) in the Formula, and supply it in the mind,
we turn to 481, and there we see, among others, the word
“RAFT,” which we use.
Sometimes we will neither find a word that represents all
of the figures, nor the first three, in dates of Modern
events. In that case, we must combine words that will
together stand for the Date. In the Date of the “Discovery
of the Mariner's Compass,” 1269, we neither find a striking
word for the number 1269, nor for 269 ; but on turning to
69, we find the word “SHIP,” which being so intimately
connected with the Discovery, we adopt it; and next seek
for a word that represents 12, or 2, and finding the adjective
