Description

Published in the late 19th century, "Assimilative Memory; or, How to Attend and Never Forget" by A. Loisette presents a systematic approach to improving memory. The work focuses on the idea that memory is not an isolated faculty but is integrated into all mental processes. Loisette advocates for active thought and attention, emphasizing that effective memorisation results from developing habits of concentration and purposeful mental action rather than relying solely on rote repetition. The book begins with an explanation of foundational concepts of memory and learning, highlighting two key stages: impression formation and subsequent revival of memories. The methods outlined seek to train individuals in attention and thought habits to enhance their capacity for memorisation and mental efficiency.

The guide offers practical techniques and exercises designed to foster better mental habits, with the goal of enabling readers to retain and recall information more effectively. It reflects the period’s interest in self-improvement and mental discipline, grounded in the understanding of memory as a skill that can be cultivated through systematic practice.

From the opening pages

Printer errors: A number of printer errors have been corrected. These are marked by light underlining and a title attribute which can be accessed by hovering with the mouse. For example, text . Inconsistent hyphenation and inconsistent use of -ise and -ize spellings have been left as in the original. Layout: The exercises which are here given in shaded boxes were in the original book provided in the footnote-space at the bottom of pages. So they often occured mid-paragraph; here they have been moved to a more appropriate place. These lists, and those on pages 92 – 94 and 167 , were originally wrapped rather than placing each item on a new line. They have been unwrapped to aid legibility. The styling of chapter and section headings was inconsistent in the original. Here we have retained the use of capitals or small-capitals, and have decided to mark those headings occurring in the Table of Contents as chapter headings, and make a best guess as to the logical level of the other headings used. Greek: The Greek words on page 129 are exactly as in the original, with no attempt made to correct errors. Some browsers may not display accented Greek letters, but a transliteration of the whole word can be accessed by hovering with the mouse. For example, ἔμπορος . Accessibility: Expansions of abbreviations have been provided using the <abbr> tag, and changes in language are marked. The book contains many words in which some though not all of the letters are in italics, for example S wo rdsm a n . This may cause problems for some screenreaders.
