LOISETTE'S MEMORY SYSTEM ANALYZED & CRITICISED.
By F. APPLEBY, C. E.
Synopsis of Contents: Evidence pro and con; Loisette's Principles compared with Dr. Pick's—a remarkable coincidence; How to learn one hundred riddles: The Instantaneous Gordian Knot compared with Dr. Grey's law of repetition; The Professor's "Great Discovery" anticipated; Loisette's Key and Stokes' Key—another remarkable coincidence; Fauvel-Gouraud's American System of 1850, used by Loisette in 1882; Loisette's Infallible Almanac compared with that of Stokes; The Kings and Queens of England; Loisette's "Homophones" compared word by word with the "homophonic analogies" of other mnemonists: which is original, the old or the new? The Knight's Tour; How to learn the contents of a book in one reading; Loisette's method anticipated in 1866; Loisette's Whist Memory. The whole being a searching comparison of the principles and applications of Loisette's system with the systems of Dr. Grey, Kothe, Carl Otto, Castilho, Dr. Pick, Fauvel-Gouraud, Rev. J. H. Bacon, Lyon-Williams, Aimé Paris, Stokes, Middleton, Appleby, and others.
"Mr. Appleby gives facts and proofs in support of his contention that the Loisettian system is based upon Mnemonics, and that where it differs at all, the difference is so slight that it is hard to distinguish the variation."—Schoolmaster.
"Mr. Appleby certainly makes a strong case against the 'professor. He proves step by step that instead of Loisette's system being 'wholly unlike mnemonics' as claimed, the very reverse is the case; and he also shows that what has been considered the special feature of the Loisettian system (viz. correlations') was taught by Dr. Pick at least 25 years ago. Mr. Appleby has, apparently, gone to a great deal of trouble to obtain facts, and the whole forms an exposure unique and complete.—Workington News.
"He shows that the author of the Art of Never Forgetting' is indebted to the mnemonists, and that his 'art' is only one of the many systems of mnemonics that have been invented, superior in some points, but inferior in others."—The Northern Weekly Leader.
