what they are represented, then he will be able to master the task proportionally as quick.
For the purpose of showing how the entire four principles of this system may be used in conjunction, I will give by way of example, a few figures.
Example:—4 6 8 2 7 3 7 3 1 5 8 4 9 0 1 2 8 5 0 9 1 6 8 3 4 6 1 2 6 3 2 6 4 0 1 5.
The possibility is, that if the reader wished to commit to memory a number of figures similar to the above,, so that he could recite the whole of them forwards, tell any particular figure from either corner that he might be asked for, or recite them all backwards, and he was to attempt to learn them merely by repetition, it would take him a very considerable time; but, with careful attention to the principles of this Science. and a moderate amount of practice, he would be able to overcome such a task in a few minutes. Firstly, divide the above example into convenient portions, say for instance, into fours, then turn them into "either" of the letters that they are represented by in the Mnemonical Alphabet, then Assimilate by asking yourself, what those letters sound like, that will give you a familiar word, which you must Associate, by Locating in one of the positions of your room.
Example:—The first four figures of the above task are 4 6 8 2, and they are
