Do not look for Analytic Date-words in the following cases until you
have first memorised my Correlations or your own. You can then review
the examples and easily find Analytic Date-words if you are
_sufficiently acquainted_ with the facts of the cases, as: Lord
Beaconsfield (18)05, {S}a{l}ient.[J] Here is a supposed Analytic formula
by English Liberals, of Gladstone's birth:--Gladstone--"{S}u{p}reme"
(18)09; by Foreigners--"{S}u{p}ereminent;" by Tories, "{S}{p}oliator;" by
Home Rulers--"{S}u{p}porter;" by Parnellites--"A{s}{p}erser;" by
Churchmen--"{S}{p}iritual;" by Agnostics--"{S}u{p}erstitious;" by
Unionists--"{S}e{p}aratist;" by admirers of eloquence--"{S}{p}ellbinder;"
by decriers of speaking--"{S}{p}outer."
[J] One of the meanings of "Salient" is "to force itself on the
attention." Recall his threat when coughed down on the occasion of his
maiden speech in the House of Commons. "You will hear me" (18)05.
1. Memorise the correlation you make.
2. Do you find it difficult to get analytic date-words?
3. What is necessary in order to get them readily?
