The “New Memory-Aiding French Vocabulary” by Albert Tondu, published by Hachett et Cie, London, in 1881, is a somewhat similar work to Charles Turrell’s.
In some English schools the first syllable in “panis” sounds “pan,” in others “pain.” If an English word derived from a foreign word (or from the same root) occurs to you, use it; but do not spend time hunting for derivations. Unfamiliar words are no help; do not think the word “panification” will help you to “panis,” because it is an English word meaning “bread-making,” and you are an Englishman. You would be much wiser to try to remember the English “panification” by the aid of the Latin “panis,” thanvice-versa, that is, if any mortal ever does want to remember that pedantic dictionary word.
One of the meanings of “Salient” is “to force itself on the attention.” Recall his threat when coughed down on the occasion of his maiden speech in the House of Commons. “You will hear me” (18)05.
It is sufficient to indicate the figure 9, as we know that it could not have been the year 9 of the Christian Era, and as it was somewhere about the beginning of this century, the figure 9 makes an indefinite impression definite and exact.
