Chapter III: CONCURRENCE is the sequence or co-existence of impressions or (7)

(1) It is the novelties of Fact, Opinion, Illustration, &c., set forth in your Abstract that you correlate together, thus: You correlate the Title of the First Chapter to the Title of the Book; next, the Titles of the Chapters to each other; and then you correlate, in each chapter, the first leading idea or proposition to the title of the chapter, the second leading idea to the first, &c., &c. In this way you will proceed until you have absorbed all the _new ideas_, _facts_, _statistics_ or _illustrations_, or whatever you wish to retain. You can then test yourself on the work by calling to mind whatever you have thus cemented together. If this is well done you will never have to do it again.

(2) We have already seen how to apply the Analytic-Synthetic Method in learning by heart selections in Prose or Poetry, and same method can be used in memorising an Abstract of such parts of a book as are new to the reader. This method, too, once used in addition to what has been done by the pupil, will make a further resort to it unnecessary.

(3) And the same remark applies to the third method.

(4) The fourth method is the pupil's final method.

The foregoing exhaustive methods of dealing with a book are recommended to those only whose natural memories are not yet made powerfully retentive by the System as a Memory-TRAINER. If, however, a Pupil possesses a good natural memory and a mastery of the System as a Device for memorising, and he has also greatly added to the power of his Concentration as well as his memory by doing all the exercises, he _will not use my System, even in the reading of the first book, except now and then_--certainly _not_ constantly, but _only occasionally_. Although not necessary in case of memories made strong by the System, yet I do most earnestly recommend the most gifted and highly endowed to deal with _one_ book in the above thorough-going manner. As for instance, Herbert Spencer's little work on Education [four short essays]. Dr. Charles Mercier, who next to Herbert Spencer is the most original and clear sighted Psychologist in England, presents, in a work entitled "Sanity and Insanity," a scarcely equalled example of lucid exposition and logical development. Whichever one is selected it should be fairly and honestly handled by my method. The gain to Intellectual Comprehension from having carefully abstracted one book, and the gain to the memory from having made and memorised the Abstract, will produce results that will last through life, and make all subsequent acquisitions more easy and delightful, and make all further abstracts probably unnecessary.

HOW TO LEARN A LONG SERIES OF UNCONNECTED FACTS IN THE SCIENCES OR EVENTS IN HISTORY, CHAPTERS IN BOOKS, OR THE CONTENTS OF BOOKS.

1. It is useless for the pupil to attempt to learn the exercise here given unless he has carefully studied the Building, Ice, Presidential, and English Sovereign Series. The _meaning_ of In., Ex., and Con. can be understood in application to the facts of life, the events of History and the principles and details of the Arts and Sciences, only by a complete mastery of all that precedes this exercise.

2. Let the pupil learn only _ten_ facts, propositions or statements at each of the first few sittings, and then, as he adds ten more, let him recite from memory all that he has previously learned of this exercise. The _cementing relations_ of In., Ex., and Con., which bind the events together, must in each case be first found by the student himself, and afterwards, and not before, let him glance at my analysis which follows this series.

3. The lawyer, in selecting 100 or 1,000 events of the Victorian Era, would doubtless make a list interesting to lawyers, the physician would make one of interest mostly or mainly to doctors, and similarly with educators, statesmen, editors, &c., &c. But I have selected events with a view to find the most difficult cases to deal with and with no other view, and if the pupil masters these, all other work hereafter will be easy to him.

4. This method can be promptly used, provided the pupil does not attempt to engorge or cloy his mind by undertaking too much at a time at first. Practice will soon make longer exercises easy. Each of the following six Exercises is enough for any one session or sitting.

5. Between a pair of _words_ it may be difficult sometimes to find either the relation of In., Ex., or Con.; but in the case of sentences, propositions or descriptions, it is always easy to find one or other of the cementing relations. Relations which to me are strong, may seem weak to some pupils. No two persons would find the same relation in some cases, but, however different the solutions may be, they must always verify In., Ex., or Con.

6. The Int. Analysis, the Analytic-Synthetic, or the mere Analytic method, will enable the pupil to memorise the statement or sentence which describes the fact whenever any aid is necessary.

7. This Method can be readily applied to events in ancient or modern times, or to an accumulation of facts in the sciences, &c.

8. If we were to express only the year the formula would in most cases be different. To indicate the month and the day of the month, a consistent phrase must be used.

ANALYSIS OF ONE HUNDRED EVENTS OF THE VICTORIAN ERA.

=1 and 2--Con. and In.=--The Victorian Era began June 20, 1837, and an
Act for the abolition of the death penalty for forgery, &c., was
passed nearly a month later. Here is the relation of Sequence or
Con. The main motive for enacting the law was doubtless sympathy.
Death appeared to be too cruel for the crime; hence the _sympathy_
on the part of the Sovereign, the founder of the Era, and of the
legislators brought the Act into existence. Here we have the
relation of Simple Inclusion.

=2 and 3--Ex.=--Criminals try to live by their wits, without work. The
trade unionists live by labour. The modes of livelihood of these
two classes are opposed. Hence it is Ex.

=3 and 4--In. and Ex.=--Trades union people and navigators are
laborers.--Here is In. But the former work mostly at home or in
their own country, and the sailors are engaged beyond the
boundaries of their native country.--Here is Ex. from difference
of locality.

=4 and 5--In.=--The sailors on the Great Western worked beyond the
limits of their native country, and an International Copyright Law
extends its influence even into the area of foreign lands. In the
view of the sphere of operation these two cases contain an element
in common.--Hence it is In.

=5 and 6--Ex.=--The International Copyright Law was enacted after long
and earnest agitation--but all legal.--The Chartist agitators had
to be suppressed. Here are conditions opposed to each other.--It
is Ex.

=6 and 7--Ex.=--The Chartist agitation was extreme, and was proclaimed
illegal. The Anti-Corn Law League acted prudently and within the
law. Here again are opposed conditions. It is Ex.

=7 and 8--In.=--The Anti-Corn Law League was organised to help give
cheap food to the masses. The Penny Postage Act was enacted to
help the poor man, to save expense. A similar aim prompted the
supporters of both measures.--It is In.

=8 and 9--Ex.=--Favouring the masses by cheap postage calls attention to
the majority or the great body of the people. The marriage of the
highest dignitaries of the State directs attention to the most
favoured or exalted personages in the country. The extremes of the
community are brought into relation. It is Ex.

=9 and 10--Con. and In.=--Parents and child is a Sequence. Hence Con.
and a child possessing the blood of his parents sustains the
relation also of In. to them. Let the pupil pause here, and before
his next session of study of these events, let him recite these
ten backwards and forwards several times from memory.

=10 and 11--In.=--Brother and sister possessing in common the blood of
their parents is a case of In.

=11 and 12--Ex.=--Here is a birth contrasted with a death.--It is Ex.

=12 and 13--Ex.=--Death on the one hand and on the other a widespread
effort to bring into existence Acts of Parliament.
Self-destruction contrasted with efforts at production.

=13 and 14--In.=--Here are two winners and two losers. The parties
opposed to Chartists defeat the hearing of this proposed motion;
and the British soldiers gain a victory over the Boers. Success in
common makes a case of In. on the part of the victorious parties.
And then the Chartists lost their proposed hearing and the Boers
were beaten. This is the second In.

=14 and 15--Ex.=--A resort to arms contrasted with a resort to
diplomacy.

=15 and 16--Ex.=--A treaty between the two greatest nations of the
earth, and loss of 10,000 men. A triumph of Peace and a triumph in
War.

=16 and 17--Ex.=--The death of a multitude of soldiers and a birth in
the highest family of the realm.

=17 and 18--Ex. and In.=--A birth and a death gives Ex. A _royal_ birth
with all the advantages it brings, and the advantage of the
inheritance of great fortunes, makes a clear case of In.

=18 and 19--Ex. and In.=--Similar relations to those spoken of in the
last paragraph.

=19 and 20--Ex.=--To the taxpayer the endowment of the Duke of Edinburgh
might seem to be a burden imposed--and the abolition of
imprisonment for debt below L20, would be looked upon as a burden
removed. Here we have Ex.

As before suggested, let the pupil recite the foregoing ten events forwards and the reverse way several times from memory. And then let him similarly recite the entire twenty events.

=20 and 21--In.=--Favoring poor people--debtors and poor
students--characterises both events.

of Philosophy--"the complete unification of knowledge"--Faraday
_unified_ three elements.

As to the dates of the 100 events, they will cause no difficulty. The pupil should look upon my formulas as models merely, and make his own whenever possible. In all the events belonging to this century, we have only to deal with the last two figures--(3) {M}odel (7) {Q}ueen gives the date of (18)37. The rule in regard to the month and the day of the month is very easily applied. A separate word for each figure except for the three months [October, November and December] where there are two figures in the one word that expresses the number of the month, as {t}ie{s}, {d}ue{s}, '{t}i{s}, {th}u{s}, {th}i{s}, {th}o{s}e, express October, the tenth month; {th}a{t}, {d}i{d}, {d}ie{d}, {d}o{t}, {d}a{t}e, {t}hough{t}, &c., &c., indicate November, the eleventh month; and {th}e{n}, {th}i{n}, {t}o{n}e, {t}u{n}e, a{t}tai{n}, &c., &c., mean December, the twelfth month.

A CONCLUDING REMARK.

If the pupil has painstakingly reviewed this entire work, let him for the next three months, whenever he wishes to fix anything in mind, not apply the methods of the system to it, but concentrate his thoughts upon it with the utmost intensity so that his improved power of assimilation will seize upon it with an unreleasing grasp, and, then, when the three months period has passed, he will find that he has consolidated the Habit of Attention and Memory.
