of his parents sustains the
relation also of In. to them. Let the pupil pause here, and before
his next session of study of these events, let him recite these
ten backwards and forwards several times from memory.
=10 and 11--In.=--Brother and sister possessing in common the blood of
their parents is a case of In.
=11 and 12--Ex.=--Here is a birth contrasted with a death.--It is Ex.
=12 and 13--Ex.=--Death on the one hand and on the other a widespread
effort to bring into existence Acts of Parliament.
Self-destruction contrasted with efforts at production.
=13 and 14--In.=--Here are two winners and two losers. The parties
opposed to Chartists defeat the hearing of this proposed motion;
and the British soldiers gain a victory over the Boers. Success in
common makes a case of In. on the part of the victorious parties.
And then the Chartists lost their proposed hearing and the Boers
were beaten. This is the second In.
=14 and 15--Ex.=--A resort to arms contrasted with a resort to
diplomacy.
=15 and 16--Ex.=--A treaty between the two greatest nations of the
earth, and loss of 10,000 men. A triumph of Peace and a triumph in
War.
=16 and 17--Ex.=--The death of a multitude of soldiers and a birth in
the highest family of the realm.
=17 and 18--Ex. and In.=--A birth and a death gives Ex. A _royal_ birth
with all the advantages it brings, and the advantage of the
inheritance of great fortunes, makes a clear case of In.
=18 and 19--Ex. and In.=--Similar relations to those spoken of in the
last paragraph.
=19 and 20--Ex.=--To the taxpayer the endowment of the Duke of Edinburgh
might seem to be a burden imposed--and the abolition of
imprisonment for debt below L20, would be looked upon as a burden
removed. Here we have Ex.
As before suggested, let the pupil recite the foregoing ten events
forwards and the reverse way several times from memory. And then let him
similarly recite the entire twenty events.
=20 and 21--In.=--Favoring poor people--debtors and poor
students--characterises both events.
=21 and 22--In.=--This college among other things prosecuted the study
of Philosophy--"the complete unification of knowledge"--Faraday
_unified_ three elements.
=22 and 23--In.=--Light, heat and electricity arise from latency to
manifestation--a physical birth--here, too, is the birth of an
organism.
=23
