Mnemonics
1. Why could not "feel" be left out?
2. Why not omit "science," and say "medical arts"?
3. Why not omit "angels" and "harps," and simply add "celestial" to
"hymns"?
4. If the pupil does not know who "Hengler" is, should we not omit
the name and insert instead "singing clown"?
5. Why should not "fare" be a better In. by sound with "gare" than
"guard"?
6. If tapestry means other things besides carpets, would not
"tapestry carpet" be a sufficient intermediate?
7. If "pelle" is pronounced as if applied "pel," ought not "Pall
Mall" to be pronounced as if spelled "Pell Mell"?
ENGLISH. INTERMEDIATES. ITALIAN.

1. Is the letter "i" in Zio pronounced as if spelled Zeeo?
2. If so, is "pew" a good In. by sound with Pio?
3. Why would not these be good correlations, viz., INSIDIOUS,
hideous ... moral turpitude ... TREACHERY.--INVIDIOUS ...
perfidious ... betrayal. ILL-WILL.
4. How many correlations have you made so far?
5. Have you made your own in every case, or memorised mine in every
case?
6. Have you indicated the relations in all cases by writing in 1,
2, or 3?
7. If not, why not?
HOW TO MEMORISE DATES, &c., WHERE YOU ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE FACTS, &c.
Let every Pupil write examples of his own selection of names Correlated
to Dates of birth and death worked out as below, or some other _pairs_
of extremes, such as name of ship to its captain on one side, and its
tonnage (or destined port) on the other.
To remember _Dates_ of _Birth_ and _Death_ (&c.) of men, correlate the
SURNAME AS BEST KNOWN to the word expressing the date of BIRTH, and
correlate the BIRTH-WORD to the DEATH [&c.] word:--
