This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project 
to make the world's books discoverable online. 

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject 
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books 
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover. 

Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the 
publisher to a library and finally to you.

PREFACE. 



In issuing a publication, a writer must consult the wants 
of the book-buying public, as much as the state of the Art on 
which he writes. No author has a right to publish a book 
that he in his enthusiasm may think is in advance of the age, 
and then complain if he is not patronized . If a writer chooses 
to publish on any subject, he does so at his own risk, and by 
the decision of the public he must abide. I never had 
much respect for those beseeching, oraving-your-attention 
sort of scribblers, who state very blandly in their Prefaces, 
that they have spent so much time, and so much money, in 
writing a book, aU far the entertainment of the dear puhUc, 
and consequently they consider that public under obliga- 
tions to patronize them. Book-making is a kind of mer- 
cantile transaction. If a work has merit, the public will 
most undoubtedly find it out, and buy it, because they be- 
lieve it to be worth the money it costs. If a publication 
fail of success, then it is, to a great extent, destitute of 
merit, or the author has not consulted the wants of the pub- 
lie. In either case he has no right to complain of neglect. 
This appears to be an author's position before the public. 

This work is on the subject of Mnemotechny, or the Art 
of aiding and improving the Memory. If the book is un- 
worthy of attention, it is owing to one of the following rear, 
sons, viz. : the subject is not worthy of a publication, or f 
have not done the subject justice. There is considerable 
prejudice against what is termed "Artificial Memory." 
Writers and critics seem to think that Ma^motechnic autiiors

wish to make an Artificial Memory^ independent of the nato- 
ral memory. The idea seems to me most preposterous. 
My aim has been to aid and assist the mind in acquiring 
knowledge, and to improve and strengthen the natural mem- 
ory. Mnemotechny, rightly considered, comprises all those 
aids to the natural mind that go by the name of asMfciatunif 
combination and comparison* When a person wishes to re- 
member a name that is difficult to retain in the mind, he 
naturaihf seeks some fanciful association or other, perhaps 
compares the name to something that sounds like it, and 
thus will recall it when required. This is Mnemotechny ; 
though it is only the commencement of the beginning. Let 
us draw a comparison. We meet two persons, one who un- 
derstands Mnemotechny, as it is treated in the following 
pages> and the other unacquainted with the Art. We give 
the latter a hundred names of persons, places or things, and 
request him to commit them to memory in the order they 
are written. Or we give him as many Astronomical facts. 
Latitudes and Longitudes of places, or Events from History, 
with their dates. He sets himself to work, and by several 
hours' hard labor he conquers the task, and a task it has 
been to him. The former takes the same lesson, and in one 
fifth part of the time, to say the least, he fixes it permanently 
in his mind. Is not this of some utility ? Is it not more ? 
Is it not a pleasure? Some writer — C. C. Colton, I be- 
lieve—says, " BE WHO SHORTENS THE ROAD TO KNOWLEDGE, 

LENGTHENS LIFE." He Certainly lengthens our enjoyment of 
it, which amounts to the same thing. Now, the object of 
Education is two-fold. The mind must be disciplined so 
that it can originate, create, and act according to circum- 
stances ; and, a certain amount of knowledge must be laid 
up ; the Memory must be stored with the treasurer of His-

PREFACE. 7 

toiy, of Science and Literature, as a material for thought 
and mental action. I am not such an enthusiast on the sub- 
ject of Mnemotechny, as to believe that every thing in edu- 
cation depends on the Memory. A person possessing a 
good memory alone, can not be well educated. On the 
other hand, unless the Memory is disciplined, and fed with 
knowledge, no person can be educated at all. 

The ground that 1 have taken in this publication, is, in 
the main, original. The rules and formulas are all origi- 
nal, though the figure-alphabet 'is the same as that used by 
some other writers. 

Many seem to think that Mnemotechny is only applicable 
to Dates of History. It might as well be said that mathe- 
matics is only useful in computing the interest of money. 
Mnemotechny is a great help in Historical studies. It is 
certainly just as applicable to a large number of other sub- 
jects. It is useful, more or less, in retaining the prominent 
ideas in reading, and in committing to memory, Prose, Po- 
etry and Languages, though these are not the most promi- 
nent fields of Mnemotechny. 

The following pages have been compiled and written, to 
assist those who are '^ seekers after knowledge." One large 
edition has been sold, and the demand is constantly increas- 
ing. The additions and improvements in the present edition, 
have been so material as to make it appear like a different 
work, and the publication is made under the confident ex- 
pectation that it will meet the approbation of the candid and 
^dicious.

TO TEACHEBS, PROFESSORS, 

AMD 

INSTRUCTORS OF YOUTH. 



This work is commended to your kind attention. Mnemo- 
techny is no longer an experiment. It has taken a stand among 
the Arts and Sciences. The first edition of this book has been 
successfully introduced, and used as a text-book, in a large num- 
ber of Seminaries of learning. It has been seen that those 
Professors and Teachers wholiave introduced Mnemotechny as 
an aid to the scholar in different branches of study, have been 
most successful in cultivating the youthful mind. A large num- 
ber of subjects that are taught to the young, can be learned in 
one fourth the time by Mnemotechny, that they can by the 
usual methods of study. At examinations and exhibitions in 
schools, parents and guardians readily see the advantages that 
youth derive from the study of this Art. It makes the student 
a more ready and con'ect thinker, and calls his attention to sub- 
jects that he would not otherwise learn. It relieves the Instruct- 
or of a large amount of labor, in endeavoring to instill into the 
mind of the scholar some of the most difficult branches taught in 
our Institutions of learning, and gives an agreeable variety to the 
daily scholastic exercises. 

Teachers, without the aid of a course of lectures on the subject, 
can readily qualify themselves for instructing scholars in Mnemo- 
techny, by an examination of the following pages. By putting 
the volume into the hands of scholars as a text-book, and re- 
quiring them to get a lesson in it daily, it will be learned through 
in a single session, and qualify them for applying the Art to many 
subjects not found here. The Instructor will thus become per- 
fectly familiar with the Art without being obliged to devote a day's 
study to the subject. The first tables in the book will be found 
the easiest to learn at the commencement of the study, though it 
is expected that Teachers will consult their own convenience io 
having the subjects learned in the order they are Uid down, or 
not.

MNEMOTECHNY. 



The first lesson to be learned, is the Alphabet. We 
have letters and words stand for figures. Each letter 
represents a figure, except A, E, I, O, U, W, H, and Y. 
Those letters never stand for figures. In the old Roman 
style of Notation, frequently used in numbering the chap- 
ters of books, the letter I. stands for 1, V. for 5, &c. ; 
but we have T stand for 1, and L for 5, and use the 
V to represent 8. We have them represented in entire 
words, or in separate letters. The word tile represents 15, 
because the t stands for 1, and the Tfor 5, the vowels i and 
e being omitted. The vowels never stand for figures. The 
letter d represents figure 1, as well as the t, because it 
sounds nearly like U The letter n stands for 2. The 
word tin represents 12, because ^stands for 1, and n for 2. 
The word din represents 12, also, as d represents 1 the same 
as t. The word more stands for 34, the letter m represent- 
ing figure 3, and the r standing for 4. The word vile 
represents 85, the v standing for 8, and the I for 5. The 
word JUe stands for 85, also ; the letter/ representing 8, as 
well as the v. The student must now learn what each 
letter stands for, throughout the Alphabet, by carefully 
studying the next two pages. All the letters that represent 
figures, except the letter X, are printed in capitals at the top 
of page 12, with the figures directly under them, and the 
instructions below and on the following page. The student 
will now read this page over carefully, twice more^ and then 
attend to the instructions on puges 12 and 13.

The letters that have similar sounds, represent the same 

figure. The vowel e is placed after each consonant to give 

uniformity of pronunciation. The letters are easily learned

ART 0? MEMORY. 18 

The student will observe, by a careful examination of 
page 12, what each letter nepresents. By an hour's study 
of that page, it will be well learned, so that when a letter 
is mentioned, the figure that it stands for, can be given 
readily. The letter X will now be explained. X represents 
70. It stands for two figures, because it has two sounds, or 
articulations. X sounds like the two letters, k and s ; the 
word tax being pronounced as if written takt. Now if x 
sounds like the two letters k and «, it must represent 70, for 
k stands for 7, and s for 0. When we change words to 
figures, or give the figures that words represent, we call it 
translation. A fluency of translation will be acquired by 
practice. After the Alphabet is committed to memory, the 
next thing to be learned is articulation. To articvMe a 
word, we pronounce each one of the consonants with an e 
after it, always omitting A, 10, and y, and all ike silent Utters. 
The word Btai is articulated by saying he, te. Now we can 
easily translate the word, or tell the figures that it represents, 
by recollecting that he stands for 9, and te for 1 ; showing 
Beat, as he, te, 91. We articulate Boat in the same way ; 
he, te, and translate it to 91. Fire is fe, re, 64. A good 
way to practice in articulation and translation, is to take 
examples like those below, and on the following pages, and 
hold the hand, or a piece of paper, on the articulations and the 
figures ; then, by looking at the word, pronounce the articu- 
lations and give the figures, and then remove the hand and 
see if you are right. In this way, try the following words : 

Peel, pe, le, 95. Chin, che, ne, 62. Seem, se, me, 03. 

Road, re, de, 41. Mate, me, te, 31. Bake, he, ke, 97. 

Mace, me, se, 30. Gin, je, ne, 62. Oaks, ke, se, 70. 

Cape, ke, pe, 79. Geer, ghe, re, 74. Wax, ke, se, 70. 

After translating the above words, and this page has been 
read, at least three times, the learner will turn the leaf and 
commit the rules to memory on page 14, and follow the 
instructions on that and the following pages.

EUXES. 

Rule 1. Words should be articulated and 
translated according to the pronunciation, with- 
out regard to the spelling, onutting all silent 
letters. 

Rule 2. All short unimportant words, like 
articles, prepositions and conjunctions, that are 
printed in italic^ must be omitted. 

Rule 3. N must be omitted in syllables in 
ngj and s in the possessive case of nouns.

When the Alphabet has been learned, and the above rules 
committed to memory, the learner should practice on the 
above examples, and the two following pages, until the 
number of any word can be given readily, after the word 
has been mentioned. The art of translating words in Mne- 
motechny, is, to articulate them "before they are translated, 
and always articulate them as they are pronounced. After 
some practice on the preceding examples, and the two fol- 
lowing pages, the learner will find further instructions on 
page 17.

IN8TEUCTION8 FOB 
LEARNING CHRONOLOGY. 



All facts expressed in figures are difficult to remember. 
In recollecting statistics by Mnemoteohnic rules, we do not 
lUtempt to remember the figures, but we change them to 
words, and then recollect the words. Our first examples 
are in Chronological Events. On finding an fivent with its 
Date, that we wish to Mnemonize, or retain in the mind by 
Mnemotechny, we take the " Mnemoteohnic Dictionary," 
turn to the number that represents the date, and from the 
words that stand for the number, we select one that has the 
most intimate connection with the Event itself, and connect 
it with the Event, by a Sentence or Formula, and by look, 
ing over the Formula carefully, we remember the key- 
word, or, as we call it, the *^ Mnemoiechnic Pkrctse,^^ and 
that by translation will give us the Date. Suppose the 
Event to be 
London founded hy the Romans, . . . a. d. 49. 

The word Europe standing: for 49, we make this Formula : 
London founded hy Ihe Romans, is now the 4 9 

largest city in Europe, re, pe. 

The Mnemotechnic phrase Europe, is easily recollected 
in connection with the foundation of London, and stands for 
49, the correct date. 

We divide Chronology into three great periods; "-4n- 
eient,*' ''Middle Age,'' and ''Modem.'' We have Ancient 
Chronology comprise the period from the Creation to the 
birth of Christ ; Middle Age Chronology extends from the 
Christian Era to the year 1000 ; and Modern Chronology 
extends from the year 1000 to the present time. It may 
sometimes be difficult for the learner to tell whether an event 
took place before or after the Christian Era, if it was within 
a few years of that period. To prevent mistakes, the form- 
ulas have been constructed in a manner that will show 
2*

18 MNEMOTECHNY, OE 

whether an event took place before or after Christ, provided 
it was within 100 years of that period. All those events 
that took place before the Christian Era, and within 100 
years of that period, have formulas with zero phrases, or 
phrases that stand for a zero or cipher first, and the remain- 
ing articulations Stand for the correct date. All events thai 
took place after the Christian Era, and within 100 years of 
that period, never have phrases that represent a cipher first.- 
Song stands for the year that " Dionysius of HaUcarruissus 
completed his history,*^ and as Song stands for 07, the ci- 
pher before the 7 shows the event to have been before the 
Christian Era. 

The learner will remember that this rule only applies to 
dates represented by one or two figures only. When Events 
transpired more than 100 years either before or after Christ, 
the formulas are no guide to the period, and it must be left 
to the judgment of the learner. 

On the opposite page is a table of Events. In order to 
tell the dates from memory, the learner must commit the 
formulas on the two following pages. . The phrases in An- 
tique letter at the close 6f each formula, translate to the 
date of the Event that is mentioned. Without spending 
much time in practicing on the words in the preceding 
pages, if learners will commit to memory a few pages of 
formulas every day, and recite them by giving the dates 
aloud by translating the Phrases, in tbe course of a few 
weeks, they will commit to memory all the tables in the 
volume, and amass an amount of Historical, Biographical, 
Literary and Scientific information, that very few persons 
learn in the course of their lives. It will be seen by prac- 
tice, that the formulas for a page of dates can be committed 
to memory in less than one fourth the time that the dat^s 
themselves can, and be retained infinitely longer. Some 
practice in translation, will enable the learner to give a date 
as readily by translating the phrase, as if the date itself waa 
remembered.

Instructioiis. 

In the Tables of Modern Chronology, including Euroi> 
pean and American History, Remarkable Battles, Sover- 
igns of England and France, Treaties of Peace, Distin^ 
^^guished Men of Modern Times, and all events transpiring 
since the year 1200, we find it convenient in many cases to 
have the formula represent the last three figures only, and 
complete the date by prefixing a figure 1. 

Example. 

17 10 St, PauVs Church in London was hdit, 
ghe, ie, se, and surrounded by Gates, 

The Mnemotechnio Phrase, Gates, represents 710, and, 
by prefixing the figure 1, or adding 1000 years, we make 
the correct date. We translate the phrase by saying, ghe^ 
seventeen hundred, and te, se, ten. After learning the dif. 
ferent Tables, the student will very readily tell whether 
events belong to Ancient, Middle Age, or Modern Chronol- 
ogy. In Ancient Chronology, whenever an event trans- 
pired more than 1000 years before the Christian Era, the 
figure 1, the first figure of the date, is always represented 
in the formula. In the Middle Ages, extending from the 
Christian Era to the year 1000, there are never more than 
three figures ; consequently the figure 1 must not be pre- 
fixed to any events but Modern ones. All of the Modern 
dates between 1000 and 1200 are represented in full by the 
formulas, so that we can establish this rule : 

If the first articulation in the formulas for 
Modern Events does not represent a figure 1, 
then that figure must be prefixed to the trans- 
lation, to complete the date. 

We carry this rule still further, in some subjects con* 
nected with American History, as in the American Battles^ 
pages 122-4, the Presidents of the United States, page

ART OF MEMORY. 51 

151, and the periods of the Settlement and Admission of 
the Statesi pages 152-3. In these Tables we have the 
formulas represent only the last two figures of the year, 
and we snpply the figure 1, for the thousand, and the 
figure 6, 7, or 8, for the hundred. The most of the events 
in these Tables were between 1700 and 1800, or after the 
year 1800, This rule enables us to make shorter formulas, 
which are easier to learn than long ones. 

Throughout this work, there are quite a number of 
proper names of persons and places, that the learner will 
find difficult to pronounce. All of these have been ar.~ 
ranged in alphabetical order, and inserted in a *' Pronounc- 
ing Index,'' beginning on page S33, with the correct pro- 
nunciation in the second column, parallel with the original 
name. These pronunciations are printed in a new alpha- 
bet, which has a letter for every sound. The alphabet will 
be seen on page 231, and the Instructions on that and the 
two Receding pages. By a little examination of the let- 
ters in the Alphabet, and some practice on the piece of com- 
position printed in the new style, on page 232^ the correct 
sound oif every letter will be readily seen* After the 
Alphabet has been learned, the student should read over the 
names in the Pronouncing Index, a few times, aloud, giving 
their correct pronunciation according to the spelling in the 
second column, to get in the habit of pronouncing them 
correctly. Then, whenever a name is seen in any part of 
the book that cannot be readily pronounced, the Index 
should be referred to for the correct pronunciation* This 
Pronouncing Index will be, of considerable use to teachers; 
as Classical Dictipnaries and Pronouncing Gazetteers are 
not always at hand, from. which to, obtain the proBonciation 
of proper names. 

We are< under obligations txy Charles Anthon, LL. D., 
Professor of Ancient Languages in Columbia College, New 
York, for valuable aid and information respecting the cor- 
4rect pronunciation of many of the Classical names.

InstraciionB. 

The learner has how come to a hew principle in Mnemo^ 
4echDic Science. It is that of rhymes, or Homophonic Anal- 
ogies.* Most learners on looking at the first application of 
this principle, are prepossessed against it. Some well-in* 
formed persons have at once condemned the whole princL* 
pie. Let them not he too hasty to reject a principle sano' 
tioned by Feinaigle, Aim6 Paris and others^ At leasts 
give it an examination before condemning it. The circum- 
stances under which we use Homophonic Analogies or 
rhymes, are numerous* We use them in all cases of Sta-^ 
tistics connected with proper Names or Scientific terms, and 
also in Definitions learned by Mnemotechny, like the Senti- 
ments of Flowers, which will be explained in connection 
with that subject. The varieties of Statistical Science 
where we use the principle, are. Dates of Battles, Eras of 
Distinguished Men, Tables of Sovereigns or Presidents; 
Latitudes and Longitudes of places, lengths of Rivers, heighta 
of Mountains, &c., in Geography; Specific Gravities, Chem- 
ical Equivalents, &c., in Chemistry ; Distances, Time, &c.y 
in Astronomy ; and all other cases where figures are to be 
remembered in connection with proper names of persons or 
places, or technical terms in any of the Sciences. It is that 
natural or easily acquired method of associating difficult and 
unknown words or names with terms that are more familiar 
to us.

Formulas. 

A PlaUy ... will not hold as much as , 
Platba. a War-cup. 

Dirty Gin^ . . « is abcMit as good drink, as 
Dbttingen. Thick Rum. 

The translations of the phrases « War^cup" and " Thick 
Rum" give the dates. "But wAy/' asks the learner, "can 
not a formula be made directly on the subject of the Battle 
of Dettingen, as well as on another subject of an entirely 
different nature ?" We will answer. If we had but one 
1)attle, or three or four, to Mnemonize, we could do so, and 
remember the Mnemotechnic Phrases ; but when we come 
to learn scores, or hundreds, we find bt experience, our 
best guide, that we can not remember the formulas. If we 
should attempt to remember the word Fatal in connection 
with the Battle of Waterloo, and the word Vessel in con- 
nection with the Battle of Trafalgar, provided we had hut 
those two BatUe formulas to remember, we could doubtless do 
it ; but hundreds of other Battles were very fatal besides 
the Battle of Waterfoo, and many others were fought on 
vessels besides the one in Trafalgar Bay. Let any person 
that is not favorably impressed with Homophonic Analo- 
gies at first sight, sit down and make plain formulas as we 
do for Historical Dates in general, for, say fifty Battles, or 
fifly Distinguished Men, and then attempt to remember the 
Phrases he has selected, and if he has not a hard task, then 
he does things easily that we have always found difiicult. 
The explanation appears to be this. In making and learn- 
ing formulas for hundreds of Battles, without Homophonic 
Analogies, we havp but. one subject on which to construct 
all our sentence^ ; aUjl, consequently, we can not get good 
and appropriate Phrases; but where we use Homophonic 
Analogies we have as many, or nearly as many subjects as 
we have Battles. Then in learning them, the name of the 
Battle readily suggests the Hopoophonic term, by the like-

ART aF UBMORT^ 105 

I of ^und, and the Mnemotechnic Phrase comes to mind 
from its connection in sense or meaning with the Homopho* 
nic term. The learner will observe two rules in construct- 
ing formulas with Homophonio Anabgies ; the Homophonid 
words should begin as nearly as possible like the original 
term, and it shoi^d also be some word or phrase that is fa- 
miliar to us. What is here said respecting the use of Ha< 
mophonic Analogies in constructing formulas for Battles, 
will apply equally well to the Eras of Distinguished Men, 
Latitudes and Longitudes of places, and other subjects where 
proper names or technical terms are used. If we knew all 
the circumstances in connection with each Battle, Person or 
Place that we wished to Mnemonize, we could make a plain 
formula for it without a Homophonic term that we could re- 
member ; but no one is thus well informed. The student 
will firisit learn the Homophonic terms in ciDnnection with 
each name of Battle or Person, and then commit the formula 
by repeating it from the Homophonic ta the final Phrase. 
The same rule must be observed in supplying the figure 1 
for ^ thousand years, in the formulas for Modern Battles,* 
where it is omitted in the Phrase, that we do in all -other 
Modem Dates. In the formulas for the Ancient Battles, of 
course we do not prefix the figure, as all Ancient Dates are 
given by a literal translation of the formulas. In all the 
Tables of Battles, the party, first mentioned is the victor, 
and the last the vanquished. 

The principle of Homophonic Analogies, after a little 
practice, is as satisfactory to the student of Mnemotechny, as 
rhymes to the lover of Poetry. Every person can commit 
Poetry to memory easier than Prose. The reason is, that 
rhymes are pleasing to the ear, and easily impressed on 
the mind. Associations of sound are the strongest associa- 
tions in language. The only way that names can be im- 
pressed on the mind, if not remembered voluntarily, is ta 
associate each name with some word or phrase that sounds 
like it, or nearly like it. Then^ when the name is required.

100 MNBMOTBCHMT, OE 

the image or idea of the familiar phrase comes to the mind/ 
and calls up the name from the similarity of sound. If we 
meet a person by the name of Alexander, let us imagine 
we have seen Alexander the Great, or one of his descend- 
ants, and this idea attached to the person will most inevitably 
oall up the name. Were we introduced to a gentleman by 
the name of Horslbt, we could easily associate with it the 
word Horee, which sounds much like it. Imagine the gen- 
tleman to have the name of horse, or imagine he is a horse, 
if you please, and the ludicrous idea will readily fix the 
name in your mind. When the name is first mentioned to 
us, it should be immediately associated with some Homo- 
phonic Phrase, and repeated several times in the mind in 
connection with the phrase, that one may not be mistaken for 
the other. 

Of:^ Memory depends to a great extent on attention and 
repetition. We may be told that this method of recollecting 
names is nothing new. Granted. It is old, but it is itfne» 
moteckaic, notwithstanding. The principle is one of the 
easiest understood, and most philosophical in the laws of 
language ; and the only reason why names of persons and 
places are so often forgotten, is because this method is not 
more generally adopted. The above directions will be suf» 
ficient for the guidance cf any one who is determined to inn 
prooe, and pracHu will Bhow its utility and make it easy 
imd familiar.

Iiistractions. 

In the formulas for the Dates of American Battles, the 
month, day of the month, and year, are all represented. 
Each month is known by a number ; January is number 1, 
February, 2, March, 3, April, 4, May, 5, June, 6, July, 7, 
August, 8, September, 9, October, 10, November, 11, and 
December, 12. 

The Mnemotechnic Phrase stands first for the figure or 
figures that represent the number of the month : the next 
tu>o articulations are for the day of the month, and the final 
two articulations represent ihe last two figures in the year; 
the judgment of the student deciding whether the Battle 
took place between the years 1700 and 1800, or since the 
year 1800. The student will observe that if the last two 
jirticulations in the formula stand for more than Jlfiy^ the 
number 17 must be prefixed, to make the date complete ; 
and if the last two figures are less than fifty, the number 18 
must be prefixed. 

Oir Whenever a Phrase represents first a cipher, and 
next a figure 1, the learner will see that the month repre- 
sented is January ; but if the first articulation stands for a 
figure 1, then two articulations are to be taken for the month, 
which will show the month to be the 10th., 11th., or Wflh., or 
October, November or December.

USE OP THE NOMENCLATURE TABLE, 

▲NB 

LEARNING THE SOVEREIGNS OF FRANCE. 



The Nomenclature Table that follows, on page 138, is 
probably the most powerful aid to the memory, of any prin- 
ciple in Mnemotechny. Though, where all are important, 
and none can be fully appreciated without a knowledge of 
the others, it is difficult to tell which is the most useful or 
interesting. By the use of this Nomenclature Table, or 
new method of counting, as we call it, any person can per. 
form most surprising feats of Memory. More names or fig. 
ures can be committed to memory in one hour, by the aid of 
a Table like this, than by a day's study in the ordinary way. 
Let us see first its application to the Sovereigns of France. 
It will be observed, that each word in the table stands for 
the number it is intended to represent. Hat translates to 
No. 1, Honey to No. 2, and so on to the last word. This 
Table must first be committed to memory. The Sovereigns 
of France can be learned after committing it as high as 56. 
Eventually the Table must be learned up to 100, so fluently, 
that we can count as readily by saying Hat, Honey, Home, 
Harrow, &c., as we now can by One, Two, Three and 
Four. This Table is to be used as a method of counting. 
As each word articulates and translates according to the 
number it represents, we can, by a little practice, get so that 
when a number is given, we can instanUy speak the word. 
If 52 is spoken, by thinking of the articulations le, ne, we 
recall the word Lion, and the same of any word wanted. 
On the other hand, when a word is given, like Rock, we can 
instantly tell its number (47) by translation.

128 MNEMOTECHNY, OR 

Let the student first learn the Table as high as word 
Jmce^ or No. 60. Next read over carefully, four or five 
times, the Homophonic Analogies on pages 130 and 137* 

The first twelve Homophonics, for the Governments, and 
the Sovereigns where there is but one of a name, will be 
readily understood. Where there are several Kings of one 
name, but of different numbers, like Henry Ist., 2nd., &c., a 
different kind of Homophonic is used. It will be easily un- 
derstood after a little examination. Each Homophonic 
Analogy begins with some prominent letter or articulation 
found in the name of the King, and ends with an articula- 
tion that represents the number of the King. For example^ 
each Homophonic for the Henrys, begins with By and ends 
with ty n, m, or r, according to the number of the Henry 
represented. Henry I^ is shown by the word Ri-^^, the Re 
being for Henry, and te for 1. Henry II. has Ru-m, Re 
for Henry, and ne for 2. The Kings by the name of Louis, 
have Homophonics all beginning with L^ and ending with 
one or two articulations which represent the number of the 
Louis. By looking these over carefully, four or five times, 
the learner will be able to- repeat them both ways; that is, if 
a King is mentioned, like Robert I., the Homophonic BahUt 
can be given, and if Fait is mentioned, Philip IV. can be 
given as its King. These must be made familiar, when the 
formulas on pages 133, 139 and 140 may be learned. The 
words in the formulas which represent figures, are in An* 
tique Typ®9 ^^^ ^^ Homophonics representing the Sove- 
reigns or Governments are ia Small Capitals. After the 
formulas are learned^ by a little practice, any King or Gov- 
ernment can be caHed to mind, and the number,' date and 
years of each reign or government given readily. The final 
phrase in each formula represents £rst the date, then all thd 
remaining figures stand for the number of yeard the Sove- 
reign reigned, or the tim^ that administration or government 
continued*

Examples. 

A Bat is a convenient place to carry A Chakt op Maine, 
though seldom worn by A Gay Chief in Russia. 

The Night hides every fish's Fin 

until a storm makes him Hide or Dive /or Sea^room. 

From the word Hat standing for 1, being the first word 
in the Nomenclature Table, and Chart of Maine, the Ho- 
mophonic Analogy, we see that the first King must have 
been Charlemagne. " Gay Chief in Russia," stands for 768, 
the date, and 46, the number of years the reign continued. 
In the next formula, the word Night gives us 21 for the 
number of the Sovereign in the succession, Fin gives us 
Philip IT., and "Hide or Dive for Sea-room," gives the date, 
1180, and the years of the reign, 43. If a certain King in 
the succession is wanted, like the 10th., the word Woods 
as the 10th. word of the Table, and beginning the 10th. for- 
mula, will call to mind Rabbit, for Robert I., and " Open 
Den," for 921, the date, and 2, the years of the reign. If 
the reign of a particular Sovereign is wanted, for example, 
John II., the word June as its Homophonic is recollected, 
when, ^ our formulas are well committed to memory, we shall 
remember Meadow as commencing the formula, giving us 
81, as the number of the Sovereign, and the closing phrase, 
"Meal or Straw," gives us 1350, the date, and 14 years for 
the length of the reign. 

Though there is apparently more matter to commit to 
memory in this way, than to go to work and learn the Table 
of the Kings, their dates, and all at once, on pages 134 
and 135, yet the student need not think it more difiScult. 
On the other hand, it is far easier to learn the Nomenclature 
Table, Homophonics and Formulas; and when once thor- 
oughly learned, it will not be readily forgotten. As an en- 
couragement to the student, we will mention, what is true, 
that in a very extensive acquaintance we have never known 
but two persons who had ever learned the dates and sucoes* 
sions of the reigns of either the French or the English

180 MNSMOTECHNT, OR 

Kings, by the usual method of study. These were two la. 
dies, und they assured us they devoted several weeks hard 
study to them. Now we have known hundreds learn both 
the French and English Sovereigns by Mnemotechny, and 
by only three or four hours' study for each line of Sove- 
reigns. It may be well to mention that Charlemagne, 
though inserted here as the^r** Sovereign of France, was not 
the first one in reality. He was the first Sovereign of any 
distinction, having enlarged his dominions extensively by 
conquest, and in the year 800 was crowned " Emperor of 
the West." The Kingdom of the Franks was founded by 
Pharamond, in the year 420, and twenty-three Kings reigned 
previous to Charlemagne, but they occupy a very unimportant 
portion of French History, and on that account are omitted. 
The uses of this Nomenclature Table, besides the assist- 
ance it renders in learning this line of Sovereigns, are more 
than could be illustrated in a score of pages. Some of these 
will be explained here. By the aid of this Table, a list of 
words, or proper names of persons or places, of a hundred 
in number, can be committed to memory by hearing or read- 
ing them but once. They can also be recited backward as 
well as forward, and any one, like the forty-seventh, or six- 
ty-fourth, can be recalled at pleasure. One example will 
show how it is done. A few names will serve for an illua* 
tration, as well as many. We will try the following : 1. 
Dr. Franklin ; 2. Tree ; 3. Europe ; 4. Mississippi ; 5. 
Buffalo. To learn them, we associate each one with the 
words of the Nomenclature Table in the order they come. 
We will say to ourselves, when Franklin's name is men- 
tioned, that Franklin doubtless wore a Hat Then for a 
Tree, we will say Honey is often found in a Tree. Europe, 
the Srd. word, is associated with Home, the 3rd. word of the 
Table. Europe is a Home for millions of people. Missis- 
sippi, the 4th., we will say, is a state where farmers use the 
Harrow. The word Buffalo is the 6th., and consequently 
must be imagined on the Hill, the 5th. word of the Table.

ART OF MEMORY. 13l 

By a reference to the Nomenclature Table, it will be ob- 
lerved that the five words given were associated with the 
first five words of that Table. Then to recite the list, let 
the mind run on the Nomenclature words, which must have 
been committed to memory previously. Hat will call up 
Dr. Franklin, as we said that Franklin wore a hat ; Honep 
recals the word Tree; Hwne gives us Europe; Harrow^ 
Mississippi ; and HUly Buffalo. If we wish to say them 
backward, let the mind go from HiU to Hat^ reversing the 
order. Then if any one of them is wanted, like the Srd. ; 
the word Homey being the third word in the Table, will call 
up Europe. If one of the words is mentioned, like Buffalo, 
we shall know the number of it in the succession to be 5, 
because it is associated with HiU, the 5th. word of the Ta- 
ble. PracHee will make this very easy; so that 50 or 100 
words or names can be learned as easy as five. If more than 
100 Names are to be learned, use other Nomenclature Ta- 
bles. To learn a list of figures from hearing them but 
once, the learner must hear two of the figures at a time, 
turn them into a word that shall represent them by transla- 
tion ; then associate the word with the first word of the Ta- 
ble, and so on till all the figures are associated, two at a time. 
For example, we will take the figures 4, 0, 9, 5, 2, 1, 5, 1. 
Now, having heard or read the two figures 4, 0, we think 
of the articulations that represent them, which are re, ze. 
From those two articulations we can make the word Eose. 
We will imagine the Rose to be in the Hat, Next, 9, 5, 
would be articulated he, le, which can be changed to Bowl. 
As Honey is the 2nd. word in the Table, we will have a 
Bowl of Honey. For 2, 1, we have ne, te, which can be 
represented in Night. A Night is usually spent at Home. 
The figures 5, 1, will articulate le, te, or le, de. We will 
take the word Lad, and as it is the fourth couplet of figures, 
we must associate Lad with Harrow) the fourth word in the 
Table. Then to recite the figures from memory, let the 
mind run on the Nomenclature words. Hat, Honey, Home, 



Digitized byCjOOQlC 



id2 MNEMOTECHNT, OE 

Harrow. The first one, Hat, will call to mind the word 
Rose, which articulates re, ze, standing for 4, 0. The word 
Honey gives us Bowl, or he, le; 9, 5. The word Home gives 
us Night, or ne,te; 2, 1. Harrow gives us Lad, or k, de; 
5, 1 ; being altogether 4, 0, 9, 5, 2, 1, 5, 1, the same as the 
original list. To recite them backward, we begin at Har» 
row, and go back to Hat, translating each word backward. 
To give any figure, for instance, the sixth one in the list ; 
knowing that it must be the last one in the third couplet, we ' 
find it in the word associated with Home, being Nights 
The last articulation being te, the sixth figure must be 1. 
The seventh figure must be the first one in the fourth coup- 
let, and of course will be found in the word associated with 
Harrow. The word is Lad, which gives us le, or 5, for the 
seventh figure. By having two figures given at a time, and 
a few moments to make each association, a list of fifly, one 
hundred, or five hundred figures can be learned in a few 
minutes, and recited accurately and fluently both forward 
and backward. The utility of this method of learning 
names and figures may be questioned by some, on a first 
examination, but a little practice will show its great advan- 
tage over the ordinary method of learning. It may be 
asked, " Will these impressions be durable, and never be for- 
gotten ?'* Never is a long word. There are circumstances 
occurring daily, where names or figures are to be remem- 
bered for only a short time ; perhaps a few hours, or a day 
or two. When we remember them for the time required, 
the object for which they were learned being accomplished, 
we naturally lose the impression on our minds, as we might 
wish to. Where a permanent impression is required, by 
repeating a few times, and charging our minds with the sub- 
ject, we can make a permanent impression, as in the Tables 
of the Sovereigns of France or England. Another method 
of learning a long list of figures will be shown in a future 
lesson : also other uses of this Nomenclature Table.

INSTRUCTIONS 

rOR TBI 

SECOND NOMENCLATURE TABLE, 

AND THK 

SOVEREIGNS OF ENGLAND. 



The student will find no difficulty in learning the Sove- 
reigns of England, after an examination of the Sovereigns 
of France, and the preceding Instructions. The second 
Nomenclature Table, which follows, on page 143, is on 
nearly the same plan of Nomenclature Table No. 1. 
There is, however, this difference. While the Table No. 1 
is a simple Table, each word translating to the exact num. 
ber that it represents, the words in Table No. 2, all have 
more articulations than are needed to make the correct num- 
ber. To find the number that each word is intended to 
represent, in this Table, we must translate t?ie first ttoo ariic- 
ulatwns ovdyy and let all the other articulations go. For 
example, we will take the words Swamp and Orator* The 
first two articulations in Swamp, are se, me, standing for 0, 
3, showing the word to be No. 3. The first two articula- 
tions in Orator, are re, te, giving 41 as the number of the 
word. The first nine words in the Table are zero words, or 
words standing first for a zero or cipher, and then the next 
articulation represents the number. All the words follow- 
ing the ninth one, have three or more articulations, but only 
the first two are to be taken. This difference between the 
two Nomenclature Tables was made, that the learner might 
be able to tell the words of one from those of the other, and 
not get them confused. There being kings of the same 
name in the lines of French and English Sovereigns, two 
distinct Nomenclature Tables were necessary for learning 
Ihem.

^142 . HNBMOTECHNT, OR 

The Homophonic Analogies for the English Sovere^gn^ 
are on the same plan as the French, and will be readily un- 
derstood after an examination of the latter in connection with 
the preceding Instructions. The formulas for the English 
Sovereigns differ from the French in hftving one gt two ar« 
ticulations in each formula after the first fifteen, to represent 
the number of the Dynasty. It can be remembered that 
the first fifteen Sovereigns belong to Dynasty No. 1. All 
the formulas after the first fifteen, translate regularly, first tp 
the date of die rdga, the next two articulations for the num- 
ber of years the reign continued, and all that remain for the 
number of the Dynasty. 

Example. 
Annor in time of war, will protect a Lazt Queen, 

and guard an Idle Life or a War Li£i 

In the above formula, the Nomenclature word AxUkOM, 
shows the Sovereign to be the 43rd., from re^ me, the fir$t 
two articulations. The Homophonic Analogy, Lazt Queej^, 
shows the Sovereign to be Qveen Elizabeth, and Idle 
Life or War Life, gives us de, U^ le, /e, 1558, for the 
commencement of the reign, re, 2e, 45, fbr the number ,g^ 
years the reign continued, and fe, 6, for the number of .th^ 
Dynasty. The student must learn in the Table of Soy^ 
reigns on pages 144 and 145, that the first Dynasty was th^ 
house of Old Saxon Kings, the second Dynasty the Danis^ 
Kings, and so on through the eleven Dynasties. The^stu- 
dent must commit thoroughly to memory the second Nonr)^- 
clature Table, at least as high as 56 or 60. This is [iij^^ 
pensable in learning the English Sovereigns. The ."^jh^ 
Table, from 1 to 100, can be used in the same manne^ j^ 
the first Table, in learning names, figures, d^c* Thesf^^^ 
menclature Tables are very important, being the aoui^ j|f 
a large amount of instruction, as well as amusement. 

In the formulas fi>r the settlement of the States, 09 f§gg 
153, the last two figures of the date only are giv^n, lea^vJ^iK 
the century to be supplied by the learner. /

INSTRUCTIONS FOR 
TREATIES, EMINENT PERSONS, 

AND 

LATITUDES AND LONGITUDES. 



The Treaties of Peace have the same kind of formula as 
the Modern Battles. A few of these were given in the 
Modern Chronology, but for greater convenience, they are 
repeated here, together with all the most important National 
Treaties of Modern Times. The parties concerned in the 
Treaties, must be learned from the Table, as in the case of 
Battles, as it was not thought advisable to mention them in . 
the formula. The formulas for the eminent persons, re- 
quire but little explanation. Those for the Ancients, give 
simply the date. The date given is usually that of the 
death of the person ; but where the era of the death has not 
been known, the date of the birth, or the time the person 
flourished, is given. In the Table on page 158, "^." shows 
that the date is the time the individual flourished, and " b" 
the time of the birth. Where neither of these are given, 
the date may be considered the time of the person's death. 
In the formulas for the persons of Modern time, the Phrase 
translates first to the date of the person's death, and the two 
remaining articulations stand for the age. If the date of 
the birth is wanted, it can be obtained by subtracting the 
age from the date of the death. As in all other modem 
dates, if the first articulation does not stand for figure 1, 
that figure must be supplied, to give the correct date. 

For the formulas of the Latitudes and Longitudes, we 
have this rule : 

The first two articulations stand for the Lat- 
itude, and all that remain, for the Longitude. 

Latitude, being always under 90°, never contains over 
two figures ; and if the latitude is less than 10^ the first ar- 
iiculation stands for a zero.

INSTRUCTIONS FOB THE 

POPULATION OF CITIES AND COUNTRIES, 

LENGTHS OF RIVERS, 

HEIOHTS OF MOUNTAINS, CATARACTS, TOWEBS, ^., 

SPECIFIC GRAVITIES. 



As it 18 inconyenient to construct formulas that represent a 
large number of ciphers, as in the population of places, lengths 
of rivers, etc., and, at the same time; of nO utility in learning 
them, we have die phrases stand for the even number of hun- 
dreds, thousands, or millions, as the case may be, and from the 
nature of the subjects we can give the correct answer. For 
the subjects that follow, from page 194 to 300, we have these 
roles: 

1. In the formulas for the population of countries, 
the phrases represent the number of millions ; and for 
the population of cities, they stand for thousands. 

2. The lengths of the rivers are given in hundreds 
of miles, and the heights of mountains in hundreds of 
feet; but the heights of water-falls, towers, spires, 
and monuments, are given in the exact number of 
feet. 

3. In the formulas for specific gravities, the last 
three articulations stand for the decimals, and all the 
ai-ticulations that precede the last three (if any), are 
the whole numbers, and show how many times heavi- 
er than water or air, the substance is. 

4. The formulas for the population by Continents 
and Religions, on page 212, stand for the even number 
of millions.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR 
MYTHOLOGY AND ASTRONOMY. 



In the three following pages, the learner will find the most 
piominent Mythological characters, with the offices attributed to 
them. They are so often mentioned in Poetry, Ancient History, 
and the Classics, that a familiarity with their attributes is indis- 
pensable that we may the more readily understand our reading. 
Many of them are doubtless familiar to the reader ah-eady. As 
wUi be seen, they are arranged in alphabetical order, under their 
appropriate heads of Celestial Deities, Terrestrial Deities, etc. 
The Nine Muses, with the departments of Poetry and the Fine 
Arts, which they preside over, are on the same page with the 
Seven Wonders of the World, the Seven Wise Men of Greece, 
and the Twelve Labors of Hercules. It will be well to commit 
these, by associating them with words in the Nomenclature Ta- 
bles. The Twelve Labors, can be associated with the first 
twelve words of the Second Nomenclature Table ; and the Nine 
Muses with the first nine words of the First Table. The Seven 
Wise Men, and Seven Wonders, can each be associated with the 
seven words in each Nomenclature Table, beginning with word 
No. 51. 

The attributes of each Deity, or Divinity, in the Mythological 
Tables — or the definitions, as we may call them — ^may be com- 
mitted to memory as they are printed, except the more difficult 
ones, which can be drawn off, and formulas constructed for them 
by the learner, in the same style as the flower formulas. Find- ' 
ing Homophonic Analogies, and constructing the formulas, will be 
an excellent exercise. 

The formulas for the Planets, on page 241, give the correct 
Mythological definitions of the characters as there mentioned, 
and will be easily committed by the learner. The Phrases in those 
fo>rmulas give the distance that each planet is from the Sun, m 
millions of miles. For the pronunciation of the difificult names 
in the Mythological Tables, the learner is referred to the Pro- 
nouncing Index, commencing on page 251.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR 

COMSTOCK'S PERFECT ALPHABET, 

AND THE 

PRONOUNCING INDEX- 



It is probably known to our readers, that attempts have 
been made during the last fifteen years, both in the United 
States and Great Britain, to make A Perfect Alphabet op 
THE English Language. That object has been happily ac- 
complished by Dr. Andrew Comstock, of Philadelphia. 
This Alphabet, which we give over the leaf (page 297), 
most undoubtedly comes nearer perfection, than any Alpha- 
bet ever printed in any language. It contains thirty-eight 
simple letters, and six compound ones, and by these letters 
every sound in the English Language is represented. The 
same characters invariably stand for the same sounds. 
Were these letters in universal use, spelling would be re- 
duced to perfect simplicity, since every word would be 
spelled just as it is pronoiinced. In other words, we could 
write correctly every word that we hear spoken, and pro- 
nounce every word that we see written, and that without 
the possibility of making a mistake. We have introduced 
a piece of composition in the new characters, on the page 
following the Alphabet. That piece is probably familiar to 
most readers, and if not, it can be read with considerable 
fluency after a quarter of an hour's examination of the Al- 
uhabet, in order to learn the sounds of the different letters. 
The primary object of introducing the Alphabet in this work, 
is for the purpose of giving the correct pronunciation to a 
large number of difficult proper Names. We know of no 
way of giving the exact pronunciation of words, except 
tiirough the medium of this Alphabet ; unless we make a 
aeries of characters of our own, or adopt some one of the 
numerous systems of marking letters by flgures. The latter 
20

wxmtmxjsi, or 



style used by most lexicographers, has no uniformity, and is 
every way exceedingly inconvenient. 

Many of the proper names in this work are very difficult to 
pronounce, and cause the student much inconvenience and 
embarrassment. As will be seen, the most difficult names 
and technical words have been arranged in alphabetical order 
in the Pronouncing Index, and their true pronunciation given 
in the new Alphabet. For the pronunciations, the best autho- 
rities have been followed. 

The different characters in the new Alphabet were not 
adopted by the author without due deliberation, and good 
reasons. For these reasons, the reader is referred to Dr. 
Comstock's different publications, consisting, among others, 
of the "Phonetic Reader," the "Phonetic Speaker," the 
"Phonetic New Testament," and "Comstock's Phonetic 
Magazine," issued monthly. To these works, the reader is 
earnestly and specially commended. The letters in the new 
Alphabet are called by different names, in most cases, from 
what they are in the old. Each vowel has the same name 
as the sound it represents. The names of the consonants are 
given below. They are all pronounced on the common basis 
of the letter e long, except the last three, which are compound 
ietters. The reader cannot but notice the uniform pronunci- 
ation which these letters have with our articulations in Mne- 
motechny. If this Alphabet were in use, Mnemotechny could 
be learned with one half the labor that we now devote to it.

242 MNEMOTECHNY, OR 

INSTRUCTIONS FOE 
POETRY, PROSE, FIGURES, <&c. 



The learner is doubtless anxious to know how we apply Mne« 
motechny to the learning of Prose and Poetry. Under very 
many circumstances our Mnemotechnic rules will be of great 
assistance. The System is perhaps not applied as extensively to 
the learning of compositions in prose and verse, as to many other 
things that we wish to remember. This arises from the nature 
of the subjects themselves. 

The object of Mnemotechny is to assist the natural mind in 
acquiring and retaining information. Some subjects are difficult 
to learn, and others quite easy. We reduce the difficult subjects 
to an easy standard. What, then, can we do with easy ones ? 
Reduce them to a standard still more easy ? Sometimes we can. 
Figures and statistics being much more difficult to remember 
than sentences, we reduce the figures to words and sentences, 
and then remember those instead of the figures. Just so with 
names. When a name is new, strange or abstruse, and conse- 
quently difficult to remember, we substitute in place of it some 
word or phrase that is femiliar to us, and that sounds like the name. 
We then endeavor to fix our recollection on the familiar phrase, 
and that being remembered, it brings the other along with it. 

Mnemotechny consists of the most easy, natural and philo- 
sophical methods of cissisting the natural memoiy. Now, as 
Mnemotechny can assist the learner in a recollection of names, 
figures, scientific definitions and abstruse facts by substituting in 
place of them, words, sentences and formulas that are more fa- 
miliar and easy to remember, it may be asked how can it aid or 
assist our minds to as great an extent^ in a recollection of those 
subjects which are from their nature easy and familiar already ? 
We know not. The writer of this article can commit to memo- 
ry permanently* a page or chapter of names, figures, arbitrary 
definitions, historical events, .detached sentences, or the rules of 
a science, in one fifth, and, in many cases, one tenth the time 
that he could before learning Mnemotechny ; but he can not com- 
mit to memory a page or section of plain prose or poetry in one

ART OF MEMOET. 243 

half of the time that he could before. Nevertheless, he cao 
learn it now in less time than formerly. Some may be disposed 
to condemn Mnemotechoy because it will not enable them to 
learn any and every thing in the shortest possible time, and that 
without the least trouble or attention. This treatise is not writ- 
ten for such persons. We do not learn Mnemotechny to ena- 
ble us to remember when to arise in the morning, ot when to go 
to our meals, any more than we want a railroad or a steamboat 
to carry us through a house or across a street. There are very 
many things which we wish to remember that can be retained in 
the mind by a direct application of the natural memory ; and 
those subjects do not require the rules of our System. It should 
be the aim of the learner to apply rules that are laid down, or 
invent new ones to assist in learning all those subjects that are 
from their nature difficult. Memory always did and alvrays will 
depend to a certain extent on attention and repetition. But study 
and repetition alone, will not accomplish as much in five hours, 
in many subjects, as they will with our rules in one hour. 

The learner will see two hundred extracts from different wri- 
ters, 'beginning on page 247, and filling near forty pages. Let 
any person attempt to learn them all by the usual manner of stu- 
dying, and then call up from memory, the 67th., 84th., 129th., or 
any other one, recite it verbatim, and tell whose writings it is 
from, and what ^(Uticular composition of the author's it can be 
feund in. For instance, if it is from the Bible, let the book, 
chapter and verse be given ; if it is from Shakspeare, let the play« 
act and scene be quoted. If from Pope, Byron or any other 
Poet, let the poem, canto and stanza be referred to. We will 
venture to assert that not one person in a thousand could so learn 
the 200 extracts in six months' time. By our Mnemotechnic 
rules, they t^an be learned accurately in a very few days. The 
following are the directions : Both Nomenclature Tables on pages 
133 and 143 must be learned, so that any word in them can be 
given readily. Then the extracts from the different writers must 
be committed to memory one after another, by studying them, 
and as they are learned, each one must be associated with the 
wo^ of the Nomenclature Table that corresponds to it in number. 
The prominent idea contained in the first quotation must be asso- 
ciated with Hat^ the idea in the second with Honej/t and so on.

244 MNEM0TECHN7, OR 

After getting up to 100, the 101st extract must be associated with 
CUy, the first word of the second table, the 115th. with the 15th. 
word of the second table, and so with the rest. A little nmn- 
agement has been used in the arrangement, as Mrill be seen. 
For instance, the quotation from Shalispeare, beginning, ^' There? 
is a tide in the aflfairs of men,'* has been put in the eleventh place, 
to be associated with '<<2a/e,'* the 11th. word of the table. They 
could have been learned, however, nearly as easy if no arrange- 
ment of this kind had been made. The author has often had 20, 
30, or 50 or more quotations read to him that he was familiar with 
before, and by pausing a moment after hearing each one read, to 
make the association with the Nomenclature word, he would 
recite them all in the order given, and also call up and recite any 
one like the 24th., 37th., or any other that may be wanted, and 
that from hearing them but once. In order to do this from a 
single reading, it is necessary to have each quotation of itselt 
committed to memory previously. The order is then learned and 
remembered from one reading. 

In our chapter of quotations here, the learner must remember 
the author of each one, by the style of the extract; or the name 
at the close must be learned in connection with each one. A per- 
son who is well acquainted with the poets, will of course do this 
easier than one who is not. There is something in the style ot 
Scriptural, Shakspearian and other extracts, that will show the 
young learner after a little attention, the source whence it is de- 
rived. For all the extracts from the Bible, from Shakspeare 
and from Byron's Childe Harold, comprising a large majority of 
the whole, there will be observed a word or phrase at the close of 
each article that is its " Mhemotechnic PhraUy^ and the artiada- 
turns of it will show where it can be found. In the quotation from 
the Bible, where the <* Mnemotecknic Phrase" begins with to, or 
tie, (1,) the book is Deuteronomy, as it begins with de^ 1. No. 2, 
is for Psalfns, though 3 is the first number represented after the 
te, (0.) This is placed No. 2, to be distinguished from Matthew^ 
which begins with me, 3. This can be remembered. No. 4, is 
for Romans f (re, 4 ;) No. 5 for Leviticus, (to, 5 ;) No. 6 for Job, 
iJCf 6 ;) No. 7 for Exodus, (ke, 7 ;) No. 9 for Proverbs, (pe, 9^ 
there being no one for No. 8. 

Now the 32nd. article, (associated with ^^Moon," the 32nd. word 



Digitized byCjOOQlC 



AET OF MEMOET. 245 

of the Nomenclature Table No. 1,) has at the close of it the 
word " NEVER," as its ** Mnemotechnic Phrase^^* and that must he 
remembered in connection with the quotation, when ne, for 2. 
will remind us that it is from Psalms, according to the above 
classification, and ve, gives us the 8th. Psalm, and re, the 4th. verse. 
The 82nd. quotation has for its Mnemotechnic Phrase, " Happy 
Jtidge,^* and that gives us pcj 9, for Proverbs, je, for the 6th. chap- 
ter, and jcj again, for the 6th. verse. ** Noon on a Hill,** the 
•♦ Phrase** at the close of the 10th. quotation, being from Byron's 
Childe Harold, gives us ne, for the 2nd. canto, and ne, le, for the 
25th. stanza. As stated before, the learner must tell by the style of 
the quotation, or a familiarity with the different writers, what au- 
thor or work the article is from. This, of course, will not be done 
by very young learners. Something like half of the quotations given 
are from the Dramatic works of Shakspeare, a Poet, who, if we 
take the verdict of his millions of admirers, has given us more 
maxims of wisdom, more that is true to Nature, than (except the 
inspired writers) we have received from all authors who have 
ever written. On page 284, the names of all of Shakspeare's 
dramas are given, in connection with the numbers, in the order 
that they are generally printed. These must be learned in con- 
nection with the first 37 words of the first Nomenclature Table, 
(which are printed opposite to them,) so that the name of any 
one can be given as soon as we hear its number. The 85th. quo- 
tation is from Shakspeare, and ihe'Mnemotechnic Phrase "Bird,** 
at the close of it, will show where it can be found. The first ar- 
ticulation, be, shows the drama to be the 9th. one, and which we 
must know to be the " MercfiarU of Venice,^* Jby associating it with 
*^ Abbey J** Then, re, gives us the 4th. act, and de, the 1st. Scene. 
There is one exception to this arrangement of the Shakspearian 
extracts. AU that are from the Tragedy of Hamlet have a Mne- 
motechnic Phrase that only represents the number of the Act 
and Scene, without any articulations to stand for 36, Ibe num- 
ner of the play. So that in all the quotations from Shakspeare, 
where there are but ttoo articulations in the Mnemotechnic Phrase, 
the aiticle is from Hamlet, and the two articulations stand lor the 
Act and Scene. This arrangement is for greater convenience, as 
a large number are from Hamlet, and 36 is rather an inconveni- 
ent number to mnemonize. Some may ask how we are to re-

member bo many associations as we have for the words of the finit 
Nomenclature Table. The writer of these lines, speaking £rom experience^ 
knows it to be easy, or no way difficult. 

The piece of poetry entitled *' C^eehale" on pages 285 and 286, can 
be committed to memory, and each line associated with the correspond- 
ing word of the first Nomenclature Table, and then the 15th., 24th., 
39th., or any other line, can be called up at pleasure. This leamiog 
poetry line by line, however ingenious and interesting it may be in 
particular cases, is usually more nice than wise. The assooiatioBf 
had better be made with each stanza, provided it is divided into stanzas. 
Whenever a long series of Rules of any Science, Art, or Language are 
to be learned, the student will find very great advantage in associatiiig 
each word of the Nomenclature Table with each rule, in the order they 
come. In this manner the author has known small boys learn the 
rules of their Latin Grammar to the number of nearly one hundred, so 
that any rule could be called up from memory; just as we can, by 
the instructions in this book, call up a King, Sovereign, President, or 
quotation &om a writer's works, on hearing its number given. 

On page 222, will be seen a list of figures, carried out in a circulating 
dedmal to 336 places of figures. These can be committed to memory, 
by learning the formulas that follow on pages 223, and 224. After the 
formulas have been learned, the figures can be given by translating the 
words in the lower line of each formula^ in the order they come. The 
words Haty Honeyy Homey &c., that begin the formulas will 
show the order in which the formulas occur. Any figure in the list 
can be given from memory, after the formulas are learned. Thus the 
83rd figure is in the 8th Formula, or the one beginning with Itt, the 
eighth word of the Nomenclature Table, and the third figure of the 
formula. The third articulation in that formula, is be, in the word 
Busby which shows the figure to be 9. The 165th figure, is the 5th 
figure in the 16th formula, which begins with Ditch. The figure must 
be 4, from re in WiTev* This will be readily understood. Tlie learner 
will frequently have occasion to make out formulas, and in the Litro- 
duction to the Dictionary will be found all the necessary instractum fi»r 
his guidance.

And from the wood-top calls the crow, through all the

147. When Atheiu* armies fell at Syracuse, 
And fettered thousands bore the yoke of war, 
Redemption rose up in the Attic Muse, 
Her voice their only ransom from a&r : 
See as they chant the tragic hymn, the car 
Of the o*erma8terM victor stops, the reins 
Fall from his hands — ^his idle scimitar 

Starts from its belt — ^he rends his captive's ohaiiis, 
And bids him thank the bard for freedom and his strains*

King Lear — Act 4, Sc. 6. Shakspeare.

150. Whatever your forte, to that your zeal confine. 
Let all your efforts there concentred shine ; 
As shallow streams collected form a tide, 

So talents thrive to one grand point applied. 
A jealous mistress is the Muse of Art, 
And scorns to share the homage of your heart ; 
Demands continual tribute to her charms, 
And takes no truant suitor to her arms.

Mid Autumn's pleasant weather ;

And the moon shines bright, when I rove at night 

To muse upon my charmer. 

The partridge loves the fruitful fells ; 

The plover loves the mountains ; 
The woodcock haunts the lonely delU ;

Through lofiy groves the cushat roves,

165. Costly apparatus and splendid cabinets, have no magical 

power to make scholars. In all circumstances, as man 
is, under God, the master of his own fortune, so is he 
the maker of his own mind. The Creator has so con- 
stituted the human intellect, that it can grow only by its 
own action^ and by its own action it most certainly and 
necessarily grows. Every man must therefore in an im- 
portant sense, educate himself. His books and teachers 
are but helps : the work is his. A man is not educated 
until he has the ability to summon, in case of emergency, 
all his mental power in vigorous exercise to effect his 
proposed object. It is not the man who has seen most, 
or ^ho has read most, who can do this. Nor is it the 
man that can boast merely of native vigor and capacity. 
The greatest of all the warriors that went to the siege 
of Troy, had not the pre-eminence because nature had 
given him strength, and he carried the longest bow, but 
because self-discipline had taught him how to bend it.

secure these rights, governments are instituted among

despondency, and desolation. It is the great principle, 
the spring that sets the whole machinery in movement ; 
the antagonist of Time, acted upon by him as a wheel ia 
by a stream, only to be set at work, and so to achieve 
great ends, where the feebleness of an ordinary mind 
would have been swept away and carried downwards to 
perdition. In morals and in intellect, nothing is impos- 
sible to it. This energy of purpose, is the one great 
talent; other powers there are, but their office is chiefly 
to regulate our progression, or at most to accelerate it.

CONCLUSION. 



Reader, our book is through. We hope you have founa 
in it, both amusement and instruction. We have endeav- 
ored to convey both. If we have not made many subjects 
easy of acquisition, which you have before found difficult, 
then we have missed our aim. The path up the Hill of 
Science and Literature, is not always smooth and agreeable, 
but it is the province of the Instructor, whether he conveys 
his ideas verbally, or through the medium of books, to strew 
the way with roses rather than with briers. This has been 
the object of our labors in Mnemotechny. We have little 
sympathy with those " ungracious" teachers " who show the 
steep and thorny way to" Learning. We do not believe 
that difficult and torturing tasks, are necessary in obtaining 
an education. We have endeavored to open to all classes 
of learners, a new and agreeable road in Literary and 
Scientific research. The subjects and tables of information 
in the preceding pages, are believed to be of interest to 
nearly all reading and thinking persons ; and from our ex- 
perience in instructing as well as in learning, we have no 
hesitation in saying that we have given a way by which 
they can be easily committed to memory. The work may 
be a convenient book of reference. The object, however, 
of the publication, has been to give a variety of Historical, 
Biographical, Literary and Scientific information, of almost 
universal interest, and so connect it with our Art, as to 
make it of easy acquisition to every learner. How well 
we have succeeded, we leave the candid reader to judge.

INTRODUCTION. 



The principal use of this Dictionary, is to assist the learner in 
making out formulas, tor statistical and other subjects. It has 
been seen in the first part of this work, how easily those subjects 
are learned that have the formulas made out for them. With 
this Dictionary the learner can very readily make out formulas 
for any subjects that require them. It will be observed that 
the words in the Dictionary are arranged according to the num- 
bers they represent; all the words which represent number 1, 
being first, and so on in the order of the numbers. Now, sup- 
pose we wish to make a formula for the " Retreat of the Ten 
thousand Greeks under Xenophon,'* — ^the first event on page 30, 
of the first part of this work. We see that the event took place 
in the year 401. Now we turn to the number 401, in the Dic- 
tionary. Among other words we find the word " rest,^' and as 
that can be readily connected with the subject, we make the 
formula which you see, on page 36 ; the 7th formula from the 
top. 

Suppose we wish to make a formula, or, as we say Mnemonlze 
the event of Tea being ^r«/ brought from China, in the year 
1601. We turn to the number 1601, and find, among others, 
the word " tea-chest," which we use. See the formula, on page 
96. If the event is in Modem Time; — like the Battle of Bos- 
worth Field, 1485; — and we do not find a word that suits us 
that represents 1485, we may perhaps get one for 485, which will 
do as weU ; for, in formulas for modem dates, if the first figure 
(the figure 1,) is not represented, we imagine it. For the Battk 



Digitized byCjOOQl^ 



J tJTTllODUCllON, 

of Bosworth Field, we use the word Bifle, See the formula, on 
page 115. It will sometimes be conyenient to use one of the 
" zero tvords" or a word that represents a zero or cipher first, 
like the word ^* Scarf," (representing 0748,) which stands for 
the date that Handkerchiefs were first made at Paisley, 1748. 
See page 09. We use this, because it is a better word than any 
we can find that represents 1748, or 748. 

It, however, most frequently happened, that we can combine 
two words, that will make a better formula than any one word 
which we have. As an example, we have no good word for 1705, 
nor for 705, to show when Wafers were first made ; and so we 
take the word seal for 05, and thick for 17, and have " Thick 
Seal" which represents 1705. See page 98, near the bottom. 
An almost endless variety of words can be found, to combine 
and make formulas. Suppose we wish two words for the date 
1841. We can have one for 18, and one for 41 ; or one for 8, 
and one for 41, or one for 84, and one for 1. 

^Sr Let the learner remember, that the best words forformvlas 
are nouns, — names of things — or if two words are used, the first 
should generally be an adjective, and the last a noun. Such 
formulas are the easiest to remember. Some other words, how- 
ever, can sometimes be used with advantage. A little practice 
will make the constructing of formulas very easy, and it will be 
found a very profitable and agreeable exercise. The Dictionary 
will also be convenient to assist us in getting Hotnophanic Analo-^ 
gies, or rhymes for words. As an example, if we want a Homo- 
phonic for '^ Byron," we translate it, and find that it stands for 
04*2 ; and on turning to that number, we find among others, the 
word Saron, which we use. See page 175. These few examples 
will show the learner how this Dictionary is to be used. The 
learner should have a manuscript book in which original formulas 
should be written, for such subjects, events, and facts, as are not 
Mnemonized in this volume. The directions for composing 
formulas for Historical Events, will apply equally weU to Geo- 
graphical, Astronomical, or other subjeeta.

Ftam the Toronto Olobt. 
MNEMOTECHNY. 
Ws beg to draw the attention of our readers to the following hand^ 
some acknowledgment of the merita of Mr. Miles as a lecturer on 
Mnemotechny, presented to him by a committee of the class which he 
has taught since his arrival in Toronto. Mr. Miles has won golden 
opinions during his first visit, and we are sure he will be warmly re- 
ceived on the future occasion, at whicn he hints in his reply : 

To Mr. Plivt Milis, Lecturer on Mnemotechny : 

Sir, — We, the undersigned committee in behalf of the class who 
have had the aodvantage of attending your public lectures on Mnemo- 
techny itt this city, oanoot allow you to take your leave without ex- 
presting omr conviction that we have derived much benefit from your 
instructions, and also our thanks for the uniform kindness with which 
diose instructions have been communicated. We regard your system 
of Mnemotechny as likely to prodnce the most advantageous results, 
because it is oonstmoted upon scientific principles, and is capable 
of the most extensive adaptation to the wishes and uses of ordinary 
life. We trust that we shall again have the pleasure of seeing you in 
Toronto, and, wishing yon every success, in the meantime, we re- 
main, sir. Your obedient servantB,

Edoeworth Fkhale Siminart. 

Mr. Milks — Dear Sir : The expectatioiu created by your own assa* 
nnces, and the Testimonials of classes and learned friends, have been 
realized. In a class of more than twenty young ladies, none regret 
their efforts, and many are confident of permanent and increasing ad- 
vantages. 

Care will be taken that the Edge worth Class of 1848, continne these 
exercises, and acquire the habit of applying the Art which yon impart 
with skill, and adorn with agreeableness. 

If observation be adequate to a safe remark, it is, that more lessoniy 
more repetition and application, more that is elementary, and even 
monitorial and mutual, are desirable to ensure to Mnemotechkt its 
place as a branch of Education. Its Home should be in our Normal 
Schools. Respectfully, yours, G. MORGAN. 

Greensborough, N. C, March 22nd. 1848. 



Extract of a Letter from the same to Mr. George R, Perkins, Prind* 
pal of the New York State Normal School, at Albany, New York, 

Mr. Pliny Miles, as a lecturer and writer on Artificial Memory, has 
won to himself, and to this somewhat ambitious Art, a solid reputation 
with many of our best educated men. He appears to be well informed 
as to the Normal School, and respecting the merits of your Mathemati- 
cal works ; and regards your Institution as the most favorable to a right 
estimate of the value of Mnemotechnt. Your civilities to him, will 
enable you to judge of its value. 

With great regard, G. MORGAN.

I take pleasure in saying, that in my opinion, this syBtem is capable 
of imparting to those who do it justice, a vast £u:ility in acquiring know- 
ledge of any kind, and of retaining it for an indefinite period of time, 
in a manner, and with a certainty, utterly impractioeble in any other 
way, I take pleasure in recommending Mr. Miles to the attention of 
the community, as a gentlemBn who will affiird them both pleamre and 
profit in the delivery of his lectures.

Mnemotkchnt. — ^I believe this the greatest discovery in literature 
that the present age has seen. Every thing about it shows the work 
of a master mind, and exhibits a versatility of mental power far beyond 
any thing of the kind I have ever met Nothing short of a wonderful 
mind could have developed any thing at once so useful, ingenious, and 
beautiful. Its discoverer brings with him letters of the strongest char- 
acter, fix>m a multitude of the most eminent minds in the United States ; 
men who confess the deepest obligations to him for his Mnemotechnic 
science. Nothing approaching its powers for perfecting human know- 
ledge is tSo be found in human records ; and all who apply themselves 
to it, will look on this discovery as one of the greatest of human ben- 
efits. 

As a parent, and as a student, I would not be deprived of the Bene- 
fits of this system for five thousand dollars. It has benefits in it that 
maokind should be induced to enjoy.

tisement in another column, in which he handsomely announoes- his 
intention of giving this evening, at Armory Hall, a fi^ee Lecture, pre* 
liminary to his course of a series of ox, on the Art of improving the 
Memory. We can hardly say too much on the advantage* to be de- 
rived from cultivating the faculty of Memwy. The Ancients very 
poetically and truly attributed all knowledge to this attribute of man ; 
making the nine Muses, (or the whole circle of the Arts and Sciences, 
over which they presided,) the offiprisg of Mjiimostnx, the goddess 
of Memoiy.

Report of the Studentt of the Upper Canada Normal School, Toronio, 
Mr. Flint Miles, Profeasor of Mnemotechny : 

Sib, — At a meeting of oar clau, the undersigned were appointed a 
committee to retam yoa the sincere thanks of the stodents of this In- 
stitution, who have had the pleasnre of attending your course of lec- 
tures on Mnemotechny, for the agreeable manner in which you have 
given instruction, and the yaluable information whieh we have derived 
therefrom. 

It is with a strong feeling of confidence in its superiority, that we 
would recommend to the public this system of aiding the natural mem- 
ory particularly on the ground of its usefulness to those engaged in the 
profession of teaching, it being in many respects applicable to the 
acquisition and retension of much valuable information, like Chro- 
nology, Latitudes and Longitudes, Statistics of various kinds, etc., etc. 

Taking into consideration its value as a means of affording great 
attiatanee to the teacher and the scholar, we feel persuaded that its 
importance can not easily be overrated, and that it will eventually 
form an essential portion of elementary instruction. 

With our desire in behalf of the class of which we form a part, for 
your success and happiness, we take pleasure in subscribing ourselves^ 
Your sincere well-wishers,

beautiful and excellent system for aiding the Memory. All true lovers 
of knowledge can but regard Mnemotecfany, when properly understood, 
as a highly ingenious and invaluable aid in the acquisition of useful in-

Mt DiAR Sir,—* *•••♦*♦*• 
• * * I have to acknowledge the receipt of your works on 
Mnemotechny, with the very valuable parcel of books, for which I re 
turn you many thanks. You could scarcely have sent me any thing 
more acceptable. In consequence of the circumstances stated above, I 
have not yet got them all thoroughly perused. Your labors in pro- 
motmg the science of Mnemotechny, I have no doubt, will be highly 
appreciated by the public, and tend to improve the retentive faculty of 
the man of business, and the student of science and general literature, and 
enable him to proceed with more rapidity and pleasure in the course 
of hia studies. Had I studied this art in my younger years, I should 
doubtless have felt it of immense benefit. Independently of studying 
your works scientifically, they contain so much useful information as to 
be of high utility as books of reference on chronological, biographical, 
historical, and variooa other subjects. The " Statistical Register and 
Book of General Beference," is a most excellent compend of facts, 
in relation to almost every department of knowledge, and which I will 
find extremely osefiil to refer to on many occasions. 

Wishing you every success in all your endeavors to disseminate 
nsefol knowledge, I am, dear Sir, 

Your much obliged and humble servant,

From the Rev. Professor Bacon, President of Columbian College, 
Washington City, 

This is to certify, that Mr. Flint Milis has given a course of Lec- 
tures to a class in this College, on the subject of "Mnemo- 
techny," and I believe to their entire satisfaction. It seems to be a 
very ingenious method of learning statistical tables, names, dates, etc., 
and with proper application, may be a valuable auxiliary in obtaining 
nseful information. 

Mr. MiLis I think well qualified to present the subject in a clear 
and interesting light His gentlemanly deportment has commended 
him to our confidence and respect, so fiu: as our acquaintance extends.

Proeeedingi of a Metting of three Clastet in Lexington, Va» 

At a meeting of the ladiei and gentlemen who had attended the 
lectmres of Plirt Milis, Esq., ProfesBor of Mnemotechny, held in the 
lecture room of the Presbyterian Choroh, Lexington, Va., on Satorday, 
the 27th. of September, 1845 : 

The Rev. Prof. Philo Calhoun having been called to the Chur, and 
Wm. H. Buffner, Esq., A. M., appointed Secretary— 

The following resolution was moved by the Rev. John Skinnap, 
D. D., Pastor of the Presb. Church, seconded by Edward J. Carutbersy 
Esq., Principal of the Ann Smith Ladies' Academy, and unanimously 
adopted : 

" That having attended a coune of six lectures, delivered by Prof. 
Punt Miles, expository of the Art of Mnemotechny, aa taught by 
him, and having at the same time devoted some study to the subject, 
we are satisfied that he has faithfully redeemed the pledges which he 
gave in his public introductory lecture, and do give it as om: opinion, 
^at the principles of the art are simple and of easy apprehension ; that 
they are susceptible of being applied with advantage to ifae acqnisitio» 
of much valuable and useful information, especially fitcts^ names, datei^ 
and figures ; and that the time and labor expended on their praetical- 
appUcation to these varioua subjects, will meet with an ami^e reward^

Letttr from Dr. E, L, de. Graffenried^ of Columbuiy Georgia^ to 
Hon, John C. Calhoun, 

Columbus, Geo., April 13th. 1847. 
Dear Sir, — Allow me to introduce to your acquaintance, Professor 
Pliny Miles, a native of New York, who has been residing for several 
years in the Southern country. Prof. Miles is a Lecturer on Mnemo- 
techny, or Art of Memory, and as a man of science has a deservedly 
high reputation. He has received encomiums from many of the most 
distinguished sources in this country, and in Europe, respecting his 
extraordinary attainments and abilities as a scientific Lecturer, and a 
cultivator of the much complained of and neglected faculty of Memory. 
You have only to hear him lecture, to be folly convinced of all that 
h said in his &vor. Mr. Miles has resided for some time in Columbus, 
and is well known throughout the United States. Every reliance 
can be placed on him as a man of honor, and a gentleman in every 
sense of the term, and for which I will most unhesitatingly vouch. I 
introduce him to you, not as a passing acquaintance, but as a personal 
friend, and a gentleman whom I well know, and will consider all 
attentions and favors shown him as a personal favor. 

Yours, most truly, 

E. L. de. GRAFFENRIED. 
Hon. John C. Calhoun, Pendleton, S. C. 



From Wm, White, Esq., Postmaster at Raleigh^ North Carolina, 

Post Office, Raleigh, N. C, Feb. 18th. 1848. 
Mr Dear Sir, — I am glad to learn from the Wilmington ** Com 
mercial,*' that you have once more arrived in North Carolina. I am 
glad, for two reasons : I shall, I presume, have the pleasure of seeing 
you soon in Raleigh ; and for the further reason, that our citizens will 
liave an opportunity of profiting by the valuable Science of Mnemo- 
techny, which you so successfully teach. I have found it to myself 
very useful, and you know I did not devote myself fully to it during 
your Lectures. To my son, Stuart,* it is very inaluable. He fre- 
quently makes it applicable in getting his lessons at school — ^for 
'instance, he memorized aU his Latin rules by Mnemotechny, and that 
to a perfection which could not have been done in any other way. 
There is, I believe, more than eighty of them, and it is no easy matter 
for any person to retain all the numbers from one to eighty, and apply 
it to the right rule, by the natural memory. I learn, that in year 
new publication, you have enlarged and improved on the Science. 
I remain, very respectfully, jaar friend and obedient 8erv% 

WM. WHITE.

MzfCMOTBCHNT OR ArT OF MjCMORT. 

Report of a CemmiUee ofProfeeeorMilee* Audience in (iuehee. 
The Committee having met according to a resolntioii of the Clan, 
have the satisfiiction to report ; 

That the principles of Mnemotechny as taught by Professor Miles 
most, if cultivated, yield the most valuable results, whether they be to 
the man of business or to the lover of science, as they are applicable to 
every act of memory. The Committee are of opinion that the pnn- 
ciples of the Art have been fully explained in the six lectures just de- 
livered, and that nothing more is requisite for their easy application than 
to follow up the study and practice of the rules laid down. 

The Conmiittee have, in behalf of the audience, to thank Professor 
Miles fer the zeal he has displayed in his teaching, and for the uniform 
patience and good humor which have characterized his intercourse with 
his class r W. Marsdkn, M. D., Ckahman,

We understand that Professor Miles has received most liberal patron- 
age in this city, and that his united classes amounted to three hundred 
persons, which is proof of the interest the Art he teaches has excited in 
Quebec. 

Report of a Committee of a Claes in Montreal, 

Montreal, October 6th. 1848. 

Sir, — It affords us much pleasure to convey to you the unanimous 
approbation of the Class to which you have just delivered a course of 
Lectures on Mnemotechny, in this city. The Science itself, at first, 
appeared to us abstruse, difficult, and, in fact, almost unattainable ; but, 
from the clear and . lucid manner in which you explained its several 
parts^ it became to each of us perfectly simple, only requiring, after 
your valuable instructions, to be practically studied, to be made avaiL 
able for the attainment of much useful knowledge— particularly m Hi» 
tory, Chronology, Geography, and other Sciences. 

With sincere wishes for your success and welfare, we remain. Sir* 
your obedient servants, W. A. Merrt,

From the Northern Whig, Bejfatt, 

iHPBOTXlCBirr OT MXKOBY. 

Professor Miles, last erening. condnded his very interesting Lectures on Mne. 
motechny. th» audience were most liberal in the applause with which they 
repeatedly greeted him at all the lectures. His style of speaking is most agreeable. 
He embodies the peculiar drollery and cff.hand ntiivti of the genuine Yankee, 
with the reflective habits of the intelligent Englishman ; and his mode of conyeying 
instruction is wholly diTCsted of pedantic dictation. He introduces himself and 
his subject most fsmiliarly and successfully to his audience, as the warm recep- 
tions given him here fully prove. At the dose of his lectures, his audience, which 
was large, and numbered some of our mostinteilige«nt dtizens, presented him a very 
complimentary address, through a Committee, the Rev. Dr. Muiphy» Professor of 
Hebrew, in the diair. It was a compliment very justly due to so able and oonr- 
teons a lecturer, and one of which he may long 'feel proud. The following is from 
the Committee's report :— 

'* Vft beg to take this opportunity of expressing to you the high opinion we 
have formed of your system of Mnemotechny, and of yourself as its Teacher. 
We have no hesitation in declaring that, in our estimation, your Art of 
Mnemotedmy is a most valuable auxiliary to the memory. We admire it for its 
simplidty, its ingeniiity, its completeness, and for the great variety of useful 
purposes to whiph it can be advantageously applied. To the student of History, 
Geography, Astronomy, Biography, and Statistics, Mnemotechny must prove 
itsdf of the utmost importance, not only in saving, and thereby gaining much 
time ; but also in enabling even an ordinary mind easily and often amusingly to 
acquire, and permanently to retain, information. As we have been taught it, 
Mnemotechny becomes a most entertaining and amusing, as well as instructive 
Art. 

"And now, dear Sir, go where you may, our best wishes go with you, that 
success may attend your exertions in exhibiting so pleasingly the green and sunny 
resting spots on the map of Memory. 
** Signed in the name and on behalf of your CSass— faithfully yours.

Firom the Bel/aat Newt-letter, 
MmEMOTxcHinr.— Professor Miles delivered a second Introductory Lecture on 
the Art of Improving the Memory, in the Commercial Buildings, yesterday eveoing, 
and gave astonishing instances of the value of his system. His manner is ex- 
tremely energetic, his language doquent, and his discourse replete with anecdote 
and curious illustration. We have rarely seen the large room so densely packed 
as on this occasion ;->a proof of the great interest felt in the subject. The au- 
dience was greaUy pleased, and the lecturer loudly applauded.
