“In order to remember these it is necessary to have some system which enables us to use the associative and linking power of memory to connect them with their proper number.”
The Systems
“Since the time of the Greeks, certain individuals have impressed their fellow men with the most amazing feats of memory. They have been able to remember hundreds of items backwards and forwards in any order.”
“In most cases these individuals were using special memorising principles known as mnemonics… recently the attitude towards them has changed, it has been realised that the methods which initially enable minds to remember something more easily and quickly, and then to remember it for much longer afterwards.”
