Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Metrical Chronology In the following Work, an attempt is made to improve upon several Books that are in common use among young students in Chronology. The utility of Dr. Grey´s Memoria Technica is generally acknowledged; but pupils are often disheartened by the labour of committing to memory his uncouth and unconnected verses. Indeed, it must be confessed that such lines as "Crothf, Deletok, Abaneb, Exafna, Tembybe, Cyruts," are difficult to be learned, especially by those who are unacquainted with the nature of the metre. And when they have been learned, it is not easy to continue to remember with precision the letters constituting the numerical part of the words; because nearly similar sounds may be produced by the combination of other letters. Thus, in pronouncing the line which has just been quoted, "Deletok" might be changed into Delatok, "Abaneb" into Abeneb, "Cyruts" with an s into Cyrutz with a z; hereby causing scarcely any perceptible difference of sound, but utterly destroying all accuracy in the dates. Besides, it must be observed, that as the memorial words do not belong to any language, and consequently are not familiar to the mind, it is puzzling to remember the exact spelling.
