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
(18)37--June--20th day
