lantic Ocean and of Africa; upon this part of Africa are Senegal, Cape Verde, and Goree; and the symbol for the 1, 2th place (1st ladder, 2d step,) is David with the lion; if it be said that David in tearing the sinews of the lion, is gored by the animal; and that he has a green cap in his hand, these three places will be fixed in this square. It is quite sufficient if the words given recal the names of the places to our memory.
On the third step are the Canary Islands; these are somewhat like a cluster of birds (Canary Birds) that must fly round the Pyramid, the symbol for 1, 3, (1st ladder, 3d step.).
On the fourth step, there is part of Portugal, and the island of Madeira. The symbol for 14 is Diogenes with the lantern. This man is the proprietor of the island, and has come to Madeira from Lisbon, on purpose to drink a bottle of his favourite beverage.
On the fifth step is Cape Finisterre. The symbol for 15 is Æsculapius with his serpent; a serpent then shall be placed at the extremity of the land, (Finis terræ.)
On the sixth step there is a small part of Ireland. The symbol for 16 is Ceres, or the gleaner; she shall have a garland upon her head; gar-land and Ire-land are too much alike in sound to be easily forgotten.
