It is presumed that you will find no difficulty in understanding the above list. Take Henry VIII. for example. He ascended the throne in 1509. Your peg is noose. Now you have to make out of Henry VIII. some word that will suggest the name, as well as distinguish which of the Henrys is meant. Of course the word must begin with h, and the last consonant in it must be that letter of the alphabet which represents the figure 8. The word huge will answer the purpose. You have now the figures 509 to translate into some word or phrase which can easily be connected with huge, and both must be such as can be readily associated with your memory-peg noose. Vase hook will do—huge vase hook. This you can associate with noose. You can imagine a vase, with a string or noose round its neck, suspended from a large hook in the ceiling. Noose, which you can remember at pleasure, will now suggest to your mind a huge vase hook. Huge you can interpret into Henry VIII., and vase hook into 509, which, with the thousand added to it, will give 1509.
If you examine the above list, you will observe that between some of the phrases and the pegs the connection is very natural, such as between Noah and wine shade; between knife and a Chili bowie
