NUMBER OF SHAKESPEARE'S PLAYS.

We will try another case: You want to remember the number of plays that
Shakespeare wrote. You know it is less than 50; but you wish to remember
the exact number--it was 37. You experiment; you try the varieties of
Inclusion, and among the rest you try Whole and Part; you find in the
first two consonants of the name {M}a{c}beth the figures 37; but if you
did not notice that {M}a{c}beth afforded you the means of always
remembering that the Shakespeare Plays numbered 37, you would try
Exclusion perhaps. If you look upon the attempt to ascribe the
authorship of the Shakespeare Plays to Bacon as a {m}o{ck}ery you would
find in the first two consonants of that word the figures 37 through the
operation of Exclusion; and if you recollect that the character of
Shylock was played with great success at Old Drury, February 17, 1741,
by Charles {M}a{c}lin, you would find in the first two consonants of his
name the figures 37 through Concurrence.

DUKE OF WELLINGTON AND NAPOLEON.

Napoleon Bonaparte was born in 1769. As a boy he was finely formed.
"{Sh}a{p}ely" (69) gives his birth-date by In. by A. and C. He evinced
the opposite of the temper usually ascribed to the "{Sh}e{p}herd-boy"
(69)--a birth-date by Ex. "{Ch}a{p}let"--a wreath or garland signed
for by him in his ambitious hopes--expresses his birth-date by Con. His
death occurred in 1821. "E{n}{d}" (21) or "U{n}{d}one" (21) expresses
his death-date by synonymous Inclusion. "{N}a{t}ivity" (21) indicates it
by Ex. Since he died from cancer in the stomach, he could retain very
little food. "I{n}{d}igestion" (21) makes his death-date by Con.

Wellington's birth, in 1769, may be expressed by "{Sh}ee{p}-faced" (69),
a term his own mother applied to him when a boy. In his childhood, he
was blue-eyed, hawk-nosed, slender, and ungainly, "{Ch}u{b}by" (69), by
Ex., expresses his birth-date. A more vivid concurrence can scarcely be
imagined, since he and Bonaparte were both born in the same year, 1769.

Wellington died in 1852 at Wilmer Castle. "Wi{l}{m}er" expresses the date
of his death by only one year too many. But a means of remembrance that
requires readjustment or modification can seldom be relied upon, except
by those who are practised in Higher Analysis. He was 83 years old when
he died. "{L}a{n}tern-jawed" (52) expr
