EXAMPLES FOR PRACTICE.
1. Instinct is inherited memory.
2. Books are embalmed minds.
3. Words are the fortresses of thought.
4. A name denotes objects and connotes attributes.
5. Force is depersonalised will.
6. A somnambule only acts his dream.
7. Attention is fixation of consciousness.
8. Science is organised common sense.
The student of Interrogative Analysis can apply this method to the
examples given under the Analytic-Synthetic Method. This will give the
needful additional practice. But let him not attempt too much at any one
time. Three to four examples thoroughly studied are quite sufficient for
one session or sitting.
POEMS LONG OR SHORT EASILY LEARNED BY HEART.
POE'S "BELLS."
1. Before attempting to memorize any selections of Prose or Poetry,
never fail _first to read it carefully_ to ascertain what it is all
about, to learn its aim and _mode of development_ and its
_peculiarities_, and not least of all, to look up and note down in
writing the _meaning of unfamiliar_ words.
