Table of Contents

ANDREW Jackson. Martin VAN BUren. } In.

Two examples of In.: “An” and “Van”, and “rew” and “Bu.”

Martin Van BuREN. William HENry Harrison. } In.

A good Inclusion occurs in the case of “ren” and “Hen.” The name William belonged to no other of the twenty-four Presidents.

William HENry Harrison. John TYler. } In.

A fair example of In. by Sight [“y” occurs in both names] is furnished by the syllables “ry” and “Ty.”

John TyLer. James K. PoLk. } In. & Con.

The letter “l” belongs to both surnames but there is no other letter in common. John and James is a case of Con., for both occur together many times in the New Testament.

‌ James K. Polk. Zachary TAYlor. } In.

“K” is pronounced as if spelled “Kay,” a good In. with “Tay.”

ZachARy Taylor. MillARd Fillmore. } In.

The letters “ar” occur in both the Christian names.

MillARd Fillmore. FrANklin Pierce. } Con.

The “ar” of Millard and the “an” of Franklin is a case of Con. reversed, i.e., “an” and “ar” is Con. since “n” precedes “r” in the Alphabet. Here the alphabetical order is reversed.

FrANklin Pierce. James BuchANAN. } In.

The “an” in Franklin is identical in spelling and in sound with the two “ans” in Buchanan.

Let the student recall the series of names from Andrew Jackson to James Buchanan several times, and at each recall let him also recall the relation which bound the pairs together, and then let him recall the series from Washington to Buchanan, both forward and backward, without consciously reviving the relations.
