Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Artificial Memory: The Grand Method of Making a Bad Memory Good, and a Good Memory Better
The first part of the book contains a select compilation from standard works on memory, showing how to improve this faculty in the ordinary manner, how to study, etc., besides giving an interesting account Of the nature of memory, and Of its relation to the other qualities of the mind.
The Object of education is two-fold - to store the mind, and to train it. Artificial Memory aids both. No one can question its power of storing the mind with facts, who has witnessed the feats of memory achieved by mere boys after a short instruction. NO one, who has himself acquired the art, can doubt its power to train the mind, to educate it, in the best sense of the term. It substitutes thought and imagin ation for mere mechanical and hurtful repetition.
