The Philosophy of Memory is the title of a lecture

delivered at the Mechanics' Institute, Leicester, by CYRUS EDMONDS. Its ob- ject is to show that the power of memory is unlimited, and that though it may have been feebly exercised through neglect or in- activity, it may be invigorated by practice. Mr. EnmoNes, re- marking upon the confounding of the terms " remember " and "recollect,- defines remembrance to be the faculty of retaining an impression on the mind, and recollection the power of recalling it at will.
