Excerpt from Outlines of English History With Memory Formulas: Dates Permanently Fixed in the Mind Without the Use of Figures
To the superficial and unthinking, any departure from the way to which they have long been accustomed seems arbitrary and objectionable. It is' only the power of habit, however, that blinds them to the fact that the way they have always used is decidedly arbitrary and mechanical; and that a method which dispenses with figures has something of the advantages of wireless tele graphy, that transmits messages without the use of poles and wires.
Ten minutes' wide-awake attention is sufficient to master the Figure Alphabet. And the student's progress then becomes easy and rapid. His after-work is almost of the nature of a recreation or pastime. He is soon sur prised, however, to find the amount of useful knowledge into which he has been playing his way.

Excerpt from Outlines of English History With Memory Formulas: Dates Permanently Fixed in the Mind Without the Use of Figures
The aim of this booklet is not to impart a full knowledge of English History, but to give the reader a firm grasp of the essentials - the first condition of thoroughness in any branch of knowledge.
Our brief narrative is confined to the principal events of the period, and a marked prominence is given to the distinguishing feature. This serves as a center of unity to connect apparently isolated events and bind them into one whole. The philosophy of history is thus emphasized, teaching the reader to discover those lurking links of cause and effect which pervade all history.
The thoughtful student of this method will find, too, that it calls into exercise in an unprecedented degree the power of association, which may be called the main muscle of the memory.
