The learner has now come to a new principle in Mnemo -technic Science. It is that of rhymes, or Homophonic Anal. ogies.* Most learners on looking at the first application of this principle, are prepossessed against it. Some well-in. formed persons have at once condemned the whole principle. Let them not be too hasty to reject a principle sanctioned by Feinaigle, Aimé Paris and others. At least, give it an examination before condemning it. The circumstances under which we use Homophonic Analogies or rhymes, are numerous. We use them in all cases of Statistics connected with proper Names or Scientific terms, and also in Definitions learned by Mnemotechny, like the Sentiments of Flowers, which will be explained in connection with that subject. The varieties of Statistical Science where we use the principle, are, Dates of Battles, Eras of Distinguished Men, Tables of Sovereigns or Presidents; Latitudes and Longitudes of places, lengths of Rivers, heights of Mountains, &c., in Geography; Specific Gravities, Chemical Equivalents, &c., in Chemistry; Distances, Time, &c., in Astronomy; and all other cases where figures are to be remembered in connection with proper names of persons or places, or technical terms in any of the Sciences. It is that natural or easily acquired method of associating difficult and unknown words or names with terms that are more familiar to us. Examples. Battle of Platea, Battle of Dettingen, B. C. 479 A.
