Assimilative Memory; or, How to Attend and Never Forget
Transcriber’s note
Printer errors: A number of printer errors have been corrected. These are marked by light underlining and a title attribute which can be accessed by hovering with the mouse. For example, text. Inconsistent hyphenation and inconsistent use of -ise and -ize spellings have been left as in the original.
Layout: The exercises which are here given in shaded boxes were in the original book provided in the footnote-space at the bottom of pages. So they often occured mid-paragraph; here they have been moved to a more appropriate place. These lists, and those on pages 92–94 and 167, were originally wrapped rather than placing each item on a new line. They have been unwrapped to aid legibility. The styling of chapter and section headings was inconsistent in the original. Here we have retained the use of capitals or small-capitals, and have decided to mark those headings occurring in the Table of Contents as chapter headings, and make a best guess as to the logical level of the other headings used.
Greek: The Greek words on page 129 are exactly as in the original, with no attempt made to correct errors. Some browsers may not display accented Greek letters, but a transliteration of the whole word can be accessed by hovering with the mouse. For example, ἔμπορος.
Accessibility: Expansions of abbreviations have been provided using the <abbr> tag, and changes in language are marked. The book contains many words in which some though not all of the letters are in italics, for example Swordsman. This may cause problems for some screenreaders. If necessary, one might edit the file to remove all <i>…</i> markup: emphasis of other words will not be lost, since they have been marked instead using <em>. The following accesskeys are provided:

PREFACE.
Prof. A. Loisette wishes to call the attention of those who are now for the first time becoming acquainted with his System of Memory Training, that he was the first teacher of a Memory System to announce and to insist that Memory is not a separate faculty whose office it is to carry the recollective burdens of the other faculties—but that Memory is a Physiological and Psychological property of each mental act, and that such act retains the traces and history of its own action, and that there are as many memories as there are kinds of mental action, and that, therefore, Memory is always concrete, although, for convenience sake, we do speak of it in the abstract, and that consequently all Memory improvement means improvement of the Action or Manner of action of the Mental powers, and that what he imparts is the right way to use the Intellect and Attention—and that hence his System does make and must make better observers, clearer and more consecutive thinkers, and sounder reasoners as well as surer rememberers; that in short the fundamental principle of his System is Learn by Thinking, and that his achievements as a mind-trainer are completed when he has helped the student of his System to acquire the Habit of Attention and the Habit of Thinking on that to which he is attending on all occasions, which two Habits combined constitute the Habit of Assimilation, and that when this Habit of Assimilation is thus established in the pupil’s mind, the System as such is no longer consciously used.
