[A

55.
Chronograms
or
Chrono-graphs
are
riddles
in
which
the
letters
of
the
Roman
notation
in
a
sentence
or
series
of
words
are
so
arranged
as
to
make
up
a
date.
The
following
is
a
good
example:
My
Day
Closed
Is
In
Immortality.
The
initials
MDCIII.
give
1603,
the
year
of
Queen
Elizabeth's
death.
Sometimes
the
Chronogram
is
employed
to
express
a
date
on
coins
or
medals;
but
oftener
it
is
simply
used
as
a
riddle:
A
poet
who
in
blindness
wrote;
another
lived
in
Charles's
reign;
a
third
called
the
father
of
English
verse;
a
Spanish
dramatist;
the
scolding
wife
of
Socrates;
and
the
Prince
of
Latin
poets,--their
initials
give
the
year
of
the
Great
Plague--MDCLXV.--1665:
Milton,
Dryden,
Chaucer,
Lope-de-Vega,
Xantippe,
Virgil.
The
word
comes
from
Chronos,
time,
and
gramma,
a
letter.
