Abstract
In the enumeration of instances of correspondence and disagreement, given below, no absolute value should be ascribed to the results. I do not intend to apply lexico-statistics, in the manner used in order to obtain precise historical information. I have used numbers merely to elicit degrees of synchronous mutual relationship. These results have only relative value and no more than this can justifiably be extracted from the material — indeed, nothing more is possible.
