Excerpt from Part One: The Analysis and Cause of the Existence of Memory; Part Two: Analysis and Cause of Unconsciousness and Sleep

My investigation of that portion of the mind known as memory was suggested by the desire to know how it was possible to find room upon any portion of the brain or the whole of it, for the impressions which is claimed to be stamped thereon to enable memory to recall the multi tude of events and scenes that have come to our notice during our past lives. For example, take my own experience of a long life of 85 years. Think of the multitudinous scenes in crossing the Continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific, not only the broad landscapes that meet our view, in towns and cities, but the extended prairies, the Rockies, the Sierra Nevadas, the Great American Desert and all the varied places coming to our notice, the mines of Cali.

Excerpt from The Analysis and Cause of the Existence of Memory, Vol. 1: Analysis and Cause of Unconsciousness and Sleep

All my long life of 85 years after reaching the age of reason and manhood, I have been a faithful and searching student of the sciences and philosophical subjects, sandwiched in between my daily physical and mental labors, and at my advanced age I am still a psychological student, searching the whys and wherefores of certain mental activities in every day life. This is the eighth book I have written and published, as will be seen enumerated on the "fly leaf" of this book, all of which can be found in most of the city public libraries in New England and many other public libraries in the United States. I am always glad to hear from my readers.
