size this matter of systematizing, noting and examining all things that one desires to remember, because only by this means can an object or a thought be clearly perceived, and as perception is the first requisite to memory, particular attention should be paid to it.
The necessity of getting to the root of things, of examining objects carefully, of laying hold of the thought, is again strongly emphasized, and this necessity must be complied with before one can have a good memory. A strong, keen, perceptive, and retentive memory may be had by any one who possesses intelligence, but such a memory, remember, can be obtained only by labor. Therefore, if you desire to improve your memory, work diligently along the lines here set forth for your guidance.
