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-

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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-
Digitized byCjOOQlC
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.
Digitized byCjOOQlC
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.

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
Digitized byCjOOQlC
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.

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^^^

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,

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

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
Digitized byCjOOQlC
230
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
Digitized byCjOOQlC
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.
Digitized byCjOOQlC
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

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

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.

Long Name. — A Dutch vessel having lost a number of
hands in a gale at sea, a press-gang was sent ashore at the
first landing, to obtain recruits. The requisite number
being procured and brought on board, their names were
asked, and registered in the ship's books. The last man
called, gave his name, as follows :
Hadad, Hughdad, Pipe and Pin Hute and Brass ; Nip
Nop, and Pin Davis, Acco Yunahon, Con Tunken, Van
Heuven Barrack ; John Milton, Tomishire, Belteshaz-
zar, Shippio, Hendrick,. Pentuder, Johnson, Compelton,

" Upon my soul," says the scribe, throwing down his pen,

THE STUARTS.
The last of the Stuarts died lately in obscurity. There
never was a whole race so singularly unfortunate, during at
least four hundred years. Robert III., King of Scotland,
broke his heart, because his eldest son, Robert, was starved
to death, and his youngest son made captive ; James I., was
assassinated in a convent, near Perth ; James II., was killed
by the bursting of a cannon ; James III., was thrown from
his horse, and murdered in a cottage where he sought shel-
ter; James IV., fell at the battle of Flodden Field; James
v., died of grief for the loss of his army ; Henry Stuart,
Lord Dudley, was assassinated; Mary Stuart, was be-
headed ; Charles I., of England, was dethroned and exe-
cuted ; Charles XL, was exiled for many years ; James II.,
lost his crown ; Anne, died broken hearted ; and the pos-
terity of James were wretched wanderers : all are now gone.

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.

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,

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.

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.

of imparting to those who do it justice, a vast £u:ility in acquiring know-

in a manner, and with a certainty, utterly impractioeble in any other

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.

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

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^

• * * 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,

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.

The following resolution was moved by the Rev. John Skinnap,

adopted :
" That having attended a coune of six lectures, delivered by Prof.

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-

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.

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%

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.

Miles fer the zeal he has displayed in his teaching, and for the uniform

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,

parts^ it became to each of us perfectly simple, only requiring, after
your valuable instructions, to be practically studied, to be made avaiL

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.
