SECOND LAW OF MEMORY.

=Fieldhand.= } Ex.
=Millionnaire.= }

A fieldhand is a labourer who lives by the sweat of his brow, and eats
not what he does not earn. A Millionnaire is at the opposite pole, and
can have a superabundance of all things. It is a case of opposition.
_Where two ideas pertain to one and the same idea, but occupy opposite
relations in regard to it, it is a case of Exclusion._ The means of
subsistence is the common idea and Fieldhand and Millionnaire occupy
opposite positions in respect to that idea. Other examples: "Upper,
Under;" "Above, Beneath;" "Before, After;" "Entrance, Exit;" "Appear,
Vanish;" "Cheap, Dear;" "Empty, Full;" "Col. Ingersoll, Talmage;"
"Washington, Arnold;" "Minnehaha, Minneboohoo."

=Millionnaire.= } Ex.
=Pauper.= }

Here is opposition between millionnaire and pauper. It is a case of Ex.
Other examples: "Superfluity, Scarcity;" "Fertile, Barren;" "Sorrow,
Happiness;" "Straight, Crooked;" "Irregular, Circle;" "Prompt, Tardy;"
"Liberal, Stingy;" "Wide, Narrow;" "Open, Shut;" "Inclusion, Exclusion;"
"Beginning, End;" "Industry, Idleness;" "Addition, Subtraction;"
"Infernal, Celestial;" "Cellar, Garret;" "Miser, Spend-thrift;"
"Assimilation, Learning by _rote_," &c.

=Pauper.= } Ex.
=Wealth.= }

Here is the extreme of opposition. The state or condition of destitution
of the pauper is contrasted with the state or condition of being over
supplied. Other examples: "Insufficient, Enough;" "Work, Play;" "Crying,
Laughing;" "Awkward, Graceful;" "In, Out;" "East, West;" "North, South;"
"Saint, Sinner;" "Fast, Slow," &c.

=WEALTH.= } In. by S. & s.
=CommonWEALTH.= }

If "Wealth" is taken as "Private" or individual, and "Commonwealth" be
taken in its derivative sense, as "wealth in common," or, the "public
wealth," then this would be a case of Exclusion. If "Wealth" is taken
as the condition of great abundance, and "Commonwealth" as the political
body, known as a State, then this is a case of Inclusion by sight, or by
sound, the word "wealth" belonging to both alike.

=COMMONwealth.= } Ex.
=UNcommon.= }

Considering "Common" in relation with "Uncommon" we have Exclusion. In
the previous pair, we used wealth of commonwealth to make a relation
with the simple word wealth. Here we use the first two syllables of the
word to contrast with _un_common.

=Uncommon.= } Syn. Inclusion.
