when we enter upon ground rendered remarkable by moments of alarm, or the sequestered grove made sacred by those of friendship or devotion, the ever busy soul is pervaded with chilling or enchanting ruminations before we consider where we are, or the particular objects which surround us.
The mnemonical associations do not intrude, when unwelcome, (as some may imagine they would). This can be asserted from experience, and because we have labored to make those of our system worthy the attention of the mind. Nor do they run into confusion, because each subject brings its own train, to the exclusion of others.
