.= } In. =John TYler.= }
A fair example of In. by Sight ["y" occurs in both names] is furnished by the syllables "ry" and "Ty."
=John TyLer.= } In. & =James K. PoLk.= } 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.= } In. =Zachary TAYlor.= }
"K" is pronounced as if spelled "Kay," a good In. with "Tay."
=ZachARy Taylor.= } In. =MillARd Fillmore.= }
The letters "ar" occur in both the Christian names.
=MillARd Fillmore.= } Con. =FrANklin Pierce.= }
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.= } In. =James BuchANAN.= }
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.
REMARKS.
1. This may be called the "Single Term Group," since none of the group served more than one term.
2. The group is notable for the fact that it is the only one in which two Presidents (William Henry Harrison and Zachary Taylor) died natural deaths while in office.
THIRD GROUP.
Period of Civil War and Reconstruction.
=JAMes Buchanan.= } In. =AbrahAM Lincoln.= }
This pair of names furnishes an In. by spelling, not sound, "am" in both, but not pronounced alike. This must be noticed, as it is a weak In.
=Abraham LinCOLN.= } In. =Andrew JOHNson.= }
The "l" in "coln," and the "h" in "
