8页1、【英文文学】论记忆力 On Memory and ReminiscenceChapter 1WE have, in the next place, to treat of Memory and Remembering, considering its nature, its cause, and the part of the soul to which this experience, as well as that of Recollecting, belongs. For the persons who possess a retentive memory are not identical with those who excel in power of recollection; indeed, as a rule, slow people have a good memory, whereas those who are quick-witted and clever are better at recollecting.We must first form a true
2、conception of these objects of memory, a point on which mistakes are often made.

But when one has scientific knowledge, or perception, apart from the actualizations of the faculty concerned, he thus remembers (that the angles of a triangle are toget

For whenever one exercises the faculty of remembering, he must say within himself, I formerly heard (or otherwise perceived) this, or I formerly had this thought.Memory is, therefore, neither Perception nor Conception, but a state or affection of one of these, conditioned by lapse of time.
