LECTURES UPON
NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL MEMORY,
AT THE
ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION;
VARIOUS
WONDERFUL ILLUSTRATIONS ARE GIVEN BY MR. STOKES AND HIS PUPILS,
MR. WILLIAM STOKES, Teacher of Memory,
It improves the Memory generally, saves much time, and considerably lessens mental labour. It is an important aid in the classification of ideas and in the concentration of thought; it greatly increases the power of remembering names and dates; it facilitates the acquirements of Language, Science, and Art; and is of inestimable utility in extemporaneous speaking and in verbal reporting. It quickens and expands the intellect, cheers the spirits, gives self-reliance, and diminishes the probability of error-taking the faculties. It is especially useful to the Student and the Man of Business, and is also invaluable to ladies. By its assistance, an intelligent child may compete with a "talented" adult; and a person of average ability may perform feats of memory beyond the power of unaided "genius."
PRIVATE TUITION, 5 GUINEAS. CLASS PUPILS, 1 GUINEA EACH.
LOCAL AND OTHER REFERENCES AND TESTIMONIALS.
Classes constantly forming in London, Brighton, and elsewhere.
Two distinct Classes, each for Ladies and Gentlemen, are commenced at Mr. Stokes' Residence every Tuesday; one at Three o'clock, and the other at half-past Eight. Second Lesson every Wednesday, and Third Lesson every Thursday, at the same hours. Pupils can attend on three consecutive days, or can allow an interval of a week between the Lessons.
Public and Private Illustrative Lectures. Mr. Stokes imparts his System to the Blind, and to the Deaf and Dumb.

INQUIRY RESPECTING THE ANTI-MNEMONIST.
Just how easy each endeavour
Remains, having had help,
Eclipsing every reasoning, harassing, hazy, egotist's
method,
Elaborately jumbling, clear, concise junctures,
With a great, grand gravity, giving wit vexation?
Well, in the preceding eccentrically-constructed piece of phraseology, the positive insult and abuse which have been so lavishly heaped upon Mnemonics are quietly hurled back in a comparatively gentle and polite manner upon the parties who commenced the attack. It is intended to destroy their arguments, and, like a war-shell, although it looks like an instrument of destruction, yet it looks not half so much to be dreaded as it really is!
And said again by tens of thousands,
Who with chuckling joy shall cry
"Bravo, Mnemonics!!!"—Pause, gentle reader,
Pause, I pray, before you call me "mad,"
The "Inquiry respecting the Anti-Mnemonist" is intended, not only as a harpoon, to make him bewail his unenviable position, but as a practical illustration of the fact that we can, by the aid of Mnemonics, "remember one thing by means of another, which, in the ordinary sense, has nothing whatever to do with it!" It gives, initially, the Succession of the Kings and Queens of England, thus:—
Just How Easy Each Endeavour
Remains, Having Had Help;
Eclipsing Every Reasoning, Harassing, Hazy,
Egotist's Method,
ELaborately Jumbling, Clear, Concise Junctures,
With A Great, Grand Gravity, Giving Wit Vexation?

of
STOKES'S SYLLABLE-IZED PICTORIAL ALPHABET.
P on PEA-cock
In this Alphabet the NAME OF EACH LETTER IS DISTINCTLY UTTERED when mentioning the name of the picture upon which it is placed. The rapidity with which the Alphabet may be taught upon this plan is very surprising.
STOKES'S
ANTI-NONSENSICAL NURSERY
RHYMES,
IN WORDS OF ONE SYLLABLE
DO NOT BE A DUNCE.
A score of things at once;
Learn to read first, and then,
you know,
You will not be a dunce.
A dunce is one, who in a
book
No good can see or find;
And so he lives, and starves
his brain,
For books will feed the
mind.
