'But, said Dare, 'I arrived here with a hundred napoleons and more, expressly to work out my theory of chances and recurrences, which is sound; I have studied it hundreds of times by the help of this. He partially drew from his pocket the little volume that we have before seen in his hands. 'If I only persevere in my system, the certainty that I must win is almost mathematical.
From all this it follows that anthropologists must sift and winnow their evidence, like men employed in every other branch of science. And who denies it? What anthropologist of mark accepts as gospel any casual traveller's tale? The Test of Recurrences Even for travellers' tales we have a use, we can apply to them Dr. Tylor's 'Test of Recurrences.
These recurrences, these inner consonances, these repetitions with variations are common in architecture also. The balustrade which crowns a colonnade is a repetition, in some sort, of the colonnade itself. The modillions of a Corinthian cornice are but elaborated and embellished dentils. Each pinnacle of a Gothic cathedral is a little tower with its spire.
It is not desirable that the buildings should be destroyed they should, rather, be protected; but the people should be informed that so long as an army can subsist among them recurrences of these raids must be expected, and we are determined to stop them at all hazards. "Bear in mind, the object is to drive the enemy south; and to do this you want to keep him always in sight.

Without it there can be no scientific laws, and without such laws i.e., without records of past recurrences there can be no sure predictions as to the future.
Endless change, endless recurrences of growth and of decay filled up those great spaces and periods, measureless and trackless almost as the expanses of the ocean, that were covered by the prehistoric life of mankind. Jevons, Introduction to the History of Religion, 1896. E. S. Hartland, in Proceedings of Oxford Congress of the History of Religion, p. 21, sqq.
But by-and-bye, as if his retina had reacted like a photographic plate, a picture developed itself, which, in the end, by a series of recurrences, became quite singularly circumstantial.
The names of S. Caterina, S. Bernardino, and Bernardo Tolomei occur to the mind. Storia Fiorintina, vol. i. p. 87. Arch. Stor. vol. iii. p. 443. Burigozzo, pp. 485-89.
