rned here with the Impression and its Revival. There are (_five_) kinds of memories rising from the natural aptitudes of different individuals--(1) First Impressions are apt to be feeble and the power to revive them weak--a poor memory. (2) First Impressions are usually weak but the power to revive them is strong--still a poor memory. (3) First Impressions are usually vivid but the power to revive them is weak--a poor memory. (4) First Impressions on all subjects are strong and the power to revive them is strong--a first-class memory. (5) First Impressions in some particulars are very strong and the reviving power in regard to them is very strong--a good memory for these particulars, or a memory good for mathematics, or music, or faces, or reciting, or languages, &c., but usually weak in most other respects.

THREE LAWS OF MEMORY OR OF THINKING. _The first and principal thing the pupil requires to do in this lesson after learning the definition of the following Three Laws--is to be able to clearly understand the examples under each Law, and whether they verify or illustrate that Law._ I. INCLUSION indicates that there is an _overlapping_ of _meaning_ between two words, or that there is a _prominent idea_ or _sound_ that belongs to both alike, or that a similar fact or property belongs to two events or things as, to enumerate a few classes:-- WHOLE AND PART.--(Earth, Poles.)
