PREFACE.
This little book is laid before the public, not because there is a lack of works on the subject, but because, with one or two exceptions, these works are to the student, for all practical purposes, valueless.
Every professor of this Art of Memory has issued a treatise of his own, possessing more or less merit; but these professors are generally short-sighted enough to imagine that, if they divulge their system to the world, their emolument is for ever at an end. The consequence is, that, as far as their treatises are concerned, the world is still comparatively in the dark with respect to the immense advantages to be derived from a knowledge of this wonderful science. The following pages will, it is hoped, in a measure supply the want above referred to.
The system employed is based upon sound philosophical principles. It is very easily acquired, can be retained without difficulty, and is most effective in its application.
​Duly acknowledging that some assistance has been obtained from existing treatises on the subject, the author still holds that his system possesses an originality, simplicity, and completeness, not to be found in any other. He has tested it in public and in private; in schools and in colleges; and he is satisfied, in common with hundreds of his pupils, that it is superior to every other system. By its means the weakest memory is enabled to accomplish what would be quite beyond the power of the strongest memory, unassisted.
The system here submitted is so simple, that the youthful schoolboy can acquire it as readily as the accomplished scholar. The language employed throughout is such as can easily be understood by every one, irrespective of age or acquirements. The author begs his learned readers not to be offended at the explanation of some matters familiar to their minds.
The examples given at the end of this work, or purposes for which Systematic Memory may be employed, must be understood to be simply suggestive of the modes in which "things to be remembered" can be committed to the memory. They are a few samples of vast numbers of uses to which this art can be applied.
The advantages which a knowledge of this art affords are great, even when acquired in mature life; but where it is acquired early in life, it is ​evident that the uses and advantages resulting from its possession are incalculable. Parents will do well to encourage their children to learn the art, as one of the choicest and most valuable which can be attained. The present manual will, it is hoped, not be without its influence in popularizing a really valuable means of acquiring and retaining knowledge.
We must not forget to allude to the great advantages which our system offers to students who are about to go up for examination.
London, December, 1865.

CHAPTER I.
The power employed in Systematic Memory is chiefly the association of ideas. We make use of the well known to call up the less known. Every one has observed the power of association to bring up before the mind circumstances that had been long forgotten. A sight, a sound, a voice, will often call up a whole scene. A flower picked years ago on some hill side, when on a holiday excursion, calls up to you most vividly, when you find it between the leaves of a book, the scenes and events of that day. A song will bring before you the scene when you first heard it, as well as the singer. The scent of a flower will often recall past incidents. The sight of a cloud, a tree, a hill, a book, a picture, will bring before the mind thoughts of something else connected with them by association of ideas.
Now, these associations have generally formed themselves, if we may so speak. The associations have, nevertheless, been enduring; some of the more picturesque ones which our imagination paints will be still more lasting. There is a story told of a gentleman who was in the habit ​of amusing himself by experimenting upon this power of the association of ideas. On one оссаsion he drove out into the country, with his servant seated behind him. Upon coming to a bridge, where the scenery was particularly grand and striking, he turned suddenly round, and exclaimed, "Do you like eggs?" "Yes, sir," replied the man. The gentleman drove on, and nothing more was said. That day twelvemonth the gentleman drove out again in the same direction, and with the same footman seated behind him. Upon arriving at the bridge, he turned abruptly round as before, and observed, "How do you like them?" "Poached, sir," was the immediate reply! Here was a striking instance of the power which association exercises in recalling circumstances which would otherwise have been irretrievably forgotten. The man, as he approached the bridge, had his mind so full of the subject of his master's strange inquiry, although a year had since elapsed, that, when the second equally strange question was put, he at once connected them together, and answered accordingly.
In Systematic Memory we make association our servant instead of permitting it to be our master. We have the power of forming arbitrary associations. We can bring together things that have no natural connection, and thus associate them together. Having done so, by calling up the one, we can at any time recall the other. Feats of memory, then, are accomplished by means of mental pictures. As this book is intended to be ​Page:Systematic Memory (Maclaren).djvu/19 ​Page:Systematic Memory (Maclaren).djvu/20 ​Page:Systematic Memory (Maclaren).djvu/21 ​clock; Alpine, tea, etc. This may at first appear to you a paltry way of going to work. Be not offended, however, at its simplicity, but persevere, and you will eventually acknowledge the value of the method.

For example, I find in page 10 of the book now before me the word umbrella. I associate it with the peg lass, which stands for 10 in the table. I picture a little girl running with a huge white umbrella over her head. I cannot forget that. At page 28 I find the word statue; I associate it with niche (28); a statue in a niche on the staircase. At page 56 I find the word nose, which I associate with fop (the 56th peg), a fop with a black patch on his nose. If you ask me what word is to be found at page 28, I say to myself, "My 28th peg is niche." Niche will immediately suggest the statue on the staircase. You want to know what word is to be found at page 10; my 10th peg is lass, and I remember she was running with a huge umbrella over her head. You may try to puzzle me by asking in what page the word nose is to be found, but you will not succeed; for no sooner do you mention the word nose than I think of the empty fop who wore a patch on his nose, and I know that fop is the peg for 56.

Get your pegs well off by heart, and word-making, as well as picture-making, will, after a little practice, become easy and pleasant.
In much the same manner as the above, you can remember statistics, astronomical calculations, logarithms, etc.
The number of females in Great Britian and Ireland, according to the census of 1851, amounted to a lazy match by sour Joe; males, a lost mauve cloak; thereby making a total of Nelly Lee in a long boat. The total income of the United Kingdom for 1856 is, in pounds, almost equal to tame a rough wife, or miss.
Suppose that logarithm 314 = 6815942, then according to the foregoing rule, a miller = a bushel of corn.

# Fugitive Poetry. 1600–1878/Kosciusko

Thaddeus Kosciusko was born in Lithuania, in 1736, of an ancient and noble family. He was educated at the military school of Warsaw, and afterwards became a student in France. There he became acquainted with Dr. Franklin, and was by him recommended to General Washington. Before leaving Poland he had eloped with a beautiful lady of high rank. They were overtaken in their flight by her father, who made a violent attempt to rescue his daughter. The young Pole had either to slay the father or abandon the young lady. Abhorring the former act lie sheathed his sword, and soon after obtained permission of his Sovereign to leave his country. He went to America, and presented himself to the commander-in-chief. He answered the inquiry of his Excellency, "What do you seek here?" by saying, "I come to fight as a volunteer for American independence." "What can you do?" asked Washington. "Try me," was Kosciusko's laconic reply. Greatly pleased with him, Washington made him hi8 aide. In October, 1776, he was appointed engineer by Congress with the rank of Colonel. He was greatly esteemed by the American officers, and admitted a member of the Cincinnati Society. At the close of the American Revolution he returned to Poland and was made a Major-general under Poniatowski. He commanded judiciously and fought bravely, and when, in 1794, a new revolution broke out in Poland, he was made generalissimo, and vested with the power of a military dictator. In October of that year he was overpowered, wounded, and taken prisoner. In reference to this event, Campbell, in his Pleasures of Hope, says—
He was kept in prison in St. Petersburg until the death of the Empress Catherine, when he was liberated by Paul, loaded with honours, and offered a command in the Russian service. The Emperor besought him to accept the proffered honour, and presented him with his own sword. But bitterly reflecting that his country had been annihilated, he refused to receive his sword, saying, "I no longer need a sword, since I have no longer a country to defend." He visited the United States in 1797, and received from Congress a grant of land for his services. He returned to Switzerland towards the close of his life, and died there October 16th, 1817. His remains were taken to Cracow, and at Warsaw a public funeral was made for him.
# Fugitive Poetry. 1600–1878/Palmyra

Palmyra was formerly a magnificent city of Asia, in the deserts of Arabia, about 6U miles east of Damascus, and above 20 miles west of the Euphrates, surrounded on the east, north, and west sides by a long chain of mountains. It is the Tadmor in the desert, built by Solomon—1 Kings ix. 18. Here lived the famed critic Longinus, and here Odenatus, and Zenobia his queen, formed a small kingdom, and performed wonderful exploits. The queen held out long against the Romans, but was at length taken captive, and led in triumph through the streets of Rome about A.D. 273. Its stupendous ruins are sufficient to astonish every judicious beholder. The present inhabitants have erected their mud cottages within the spacious court of a once magnificent temple of the sun.
# Fugitive Poetry. 1600–1878/Pompeii

Pompeii, a town in Italy, at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, was to Rome what Brighton is to London. It was suddenly overwhelmed by an eruption of the mountain, 23rd August, A.D. 79.
# Fugitive Poetry. 1600–1878/The Sea Fight in XCII

The great naval victory intended to be celebrated by this excellent old song, was determined, after a running action of several days, off Cape La Hogue, on the coast of Normandy, the 22nd of May, 1692, in favour of the English and Dutch combined fleets, consisting of 99 sail of the line, under the command of Admiral Russel, afterwards Earl of Oxford, over a French squadron. of about half that number commanded by the Chevalier Tourville, whose ship, Le Soleil Royal, carried upwards of a hundred guns, and was esteemed the finest vessel in Europe.
This last fleet was fitted out for the purpose of restoring King James II. to his dominions; and that prince, together with the Duke of Berwick, and several great officers, both of his own court and of the court of France, and even Tourville himself, beheld the final destruction of the French ships from an eminence on the shore. It is now certain that Russel had engaged to favour the scheme of his old master's restoration, on condition that the French took care to avoid him; but Tourville's impetuosity and rashness rendered the whole measure abortive. And the distressed and the ill-fated monarch retired, in a fit of despondency, to mourn his misfortunes, and recover his peace of mind, amid the solitary gloom of La Trappe.
# Bradley v. United States (410 U.S. 605)
## Dissenting Opinion

    Douglas
Supreme Court of the United States
410 U.S. 605
Bradley et al. v. United States
Certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit
No. 71-1304. Argued: January 8, 1973 --- Decided: March 5, 1973
On May 6, 1971, petitioners were convicted and sentenced for narcotics offenses committed in March 1971. They received the minimum five-year sentences under a provision that was mandatory and made the sentences not subject to suspension, probation, or parole. Effective May 1, 1971, that provision was repealed and liberalized by the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970. On petitioners' motion for vacation of their sentences and remand for resentencing, the Court of Appeals held that the new provisions were unavailable in view of the Act's saving clause, which made them inapplicable to "prosecutions" antedating the Act's effective date.
Held:
    1. The word "prosecutions" in the saving clause is to be accorded its normal legal sense, under which sentencing is a part of the concept of prosecution. Therefore, the saving clause barred the District Judge from suspending sentence or placing petitioners on probation. Pp. 607-610.
    2. Under the saving clause, parole under 18 U.S.C. § 4208 (a) is likewise unavailable to petitioners, since by its terms that provision is inapplicable to offenses for which a mandatory penalty is provided; and, in any event, a decision to grant early parole under that provision must be made "[u]pon entering a judgment of conviction," which occurs before the end of the prosecution. Pp. 610-611.
455 F.2d 1181, affirmed.
MARSHALL, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which BURGER, C.J., and STEWART, BLACKMUN, POWELL, and REHNQUIST, JJ., joined, and in Part I of which BRENNAN and WHITE, JJ., joined. BRENNAN and WHITE, JJ., filed a statement concurring in the judgment, post, p. 611. DOUGLAS, J., filed a dissenting opinion, post, p. 612.
William P. Homans, Jr., argued the cause and filed a brief for petitioners.
Deputy Solicitor General Lacovara argued the cause for the United States. With him on the brief were Solicitor General Griswold, Assistant Attorney General Petersen, Harriet S. Shapiro, and Jerome M. Feit.

Eloise Lindauer (1860-1935) letter concerning Louis Julius Freudenberg (1894-1918) from 1919. The New Jersey War History Bureau in Trenton, New Jersey had asked gold star mothers to submit photographs and information on their children following the child's death during World War I. That collection is now archived at the NJ State Archives in Trenton, New Jersey. The letter and images have been scanned but not transcribed at the archives.

Dear Sir:
I am enclosing herewith [an] outline of the service record of my son, Louis Julius Freudenberg, and his photograph. If there is any other information desired fondly let me know. Respectfully yours, (Mrs.) Eloise Freudenberg.
Private Louis Julius Freudenberg; Co. 'M' 309th Infantry sailed from the U.S. May 19th, 1918. Arrived overseas May the 31st. Fought in the following battles: St. Mihiel offensive, September 12th to 15th, 1918; Limey Sector, September 16th to October 4th; Meuse Argonne offensive, October 11th to 16th. Private Freudenberg was a "runner" delivering messages along the lines. He was called an "angel" by the boys because he was constantly cheering them up, and had words of comfort for all. While participating in an attack on enemy positions near St. Juvin, France, on October 16th, 1918 he was wounded by machine gun bullets and was lying in a shell hole with his sergeant who was wounded in the arm. Private Freudenberg volunteered to try and get back [to] the line to summon aid for his sergeant, and when he arose to do so was shot in the head and killed. His body was laid to rest with full military honors, East of Champigneulle, France. Born August 4th, 1894.
