MEMORY

Itls generally supposed that of an our faculties memory Is that which nature has bestowed ln the most unequal degrees on diff rercnt Individuals. and It Is far from being impossible that this opinion may be well founded. lf
 however. we consider that there Is scarcely my man who has not memory sufficient to learn the use of language and learn to rec. ognlzc ut the first glance the ap- peuranccs Of a great number of familiar objects. besides acquir. ing such an acquaintance with the laws Of nature and the or dluury course Of human afalrs as Is necessary for directing his conduct ln liIe. We shull be sat- lsGed that the original dlsparlties among men In this respect are by DO mcuus so immense as they seem Co be at first view and t,al much Is to be ascrIbed to different habits of attention and tou difference of selection among lhr various events presented to the curlOslty.-Dugald Stewart.
