INTRODUCTORY REMARKS.
The following outline of Phreno-Mnemotechny, is not intended as a treatise on the subject, from which a learner can, without assistance, obtain a knowledge of this interesting Science. The design of this work is to aid the Author in his lectures, by presenting the application of the System to a variety of subjects, omitting all, or nearly all explanation in the work, but giving them during his course of lectures. If the author of this treatise has a power of memory beyond most others, the cause lies in this System. To become fluent in Phreno-Mnemotechny, requires but little time; depending on the industry and tact of the learner.
Having disposed of an edition of one thousand copies, within three months, the following greatly improved edition is published. The dates, names and facts, embodied in the work, having been compared with the most approved authorities, can be relied on as correct. In the first eight pages the learner will find examples of words containing one, two, three and four articulations, which will comprise a sufficient variety for practice in translation. The study necessary to become familiar with the subject is very little, comparatively nothing; what is necessary is practice. The pages following the first eight, will contain some valuable tables of information on a variety of interesting subjects. The learning of these tables will be found a very easy task, though it is not a necessary exercise in becoming acquainted with the Art by which they are learned. They will usually be committed to memory for the information they convey, and in so doing, the student's progress in Phreno-Mnemotechny will be facilitated.
