e & Part. =Parlor.= } Another case of Inclusion. House is the whole containing as it does the _parlor_, _dining-room_, _kitchen_, _bedroom_, etc. Parlor is a _part_ of the whole house. Hence this pair of words illustrates Inclusion by Whole & Part designated by In. W. & P., or merely by In. We may include in this class for convenience _the material and the product_ as "Bureau, Oak;" "Tower, Brick;" "Harness, Leather." Other cases: "Wagon, Wheel;" "Razor, Blade;" "Table, Legs;" "United States of North America, New York;" "State, County;" "City, Street;" "Bird, Feathers;" "Year, Month;" "Week, Sunday;" "Engine, Boiler;" "100, 50;" "10, 5," &c. =PARlor.= } In. by S. & s. =PARtridge.= } Here we see that there is nothing in common in the _meaning_ of the words, but there is the syllable "Par" belonging to both alike. It is the same in _spelling_ in both words, and virtually the same in _pronunciation_, the same by Sight and by sound, represented by In. by capital S for In. by sight, and In. by small s for In. by sound, or merely by In. Examples: "Nice, Gneiss;" "Pole, Polarity;" "Popular, Popgun;" "Jeffer_son_, Madi_son_." =Partridge.= } In. by W. & P. =Feathers.= } Partridge is the name of the bird and feathers constitute _part_ of the Partridge. Other cases: "Coat, Buttons;" "Elephant, Trunk;" "Bottle, Neck;" "Pen, Nib;" "South Africa, Cape Colony." =Feathers.= } In. by A. & C. =Light.= } Feathers are _things_ perceived by touch and sight. They imply the quality of _lightness_, but say nothing about that quality. Light has several meanings. Here taken in connection with feathers, it means nearly destitute of weight, or the quality of lightness. It is an abstract term that describes an attribute, but feathers are things and therefore concrete. Hence the pair of words illustrate Inclusion by Abstract and Concrete, and is indicated by In. by A. and C., or merely by In. Other examples: "Sour, Vinegar;" "Sweet, Sugar;" "Coward, Fear;" "Swiftness, Express train," &c. =LIGHT.= } In. by S. & s. =LIGHTerman.= } As before remarked, "Light" has several meanings. Here it means that which _enables us to see_. "Lighterman" is the man who works upon a boat called a "Lighter." There is nothing in common in the meaning of this pair of words, but the word or syllable "Light" belongs to both alike. It is In. by Sight and sound. Other cases: "Dark, Darkness;" "Starch, Mar
