Valuable book - Assimilative Memory - Loisette

My most valuable book.
Assimilative Memory, Loisette   1896 (c)

In the winter of 1959-1960, my dad bought the office contents of a retiring medical doctor, Dr. Loeffler.  This book was among Dr. Loeffler's collection.

In an effort to preserve the fragile book, I wrapped it in an Arrow shirt plastic bag.

Now, more than 40 years later, I have a flatbed scanner and fully intended to generate an electronic copy to preserve the book for posterity.

Google Books has upstaged me. You can read the entire book online.

I recommend everyone read a few chapters.

From personal experience,
    1) a memory system is useful everyday, in many ways, thoughout your lifetime,
    2) acquiring the memory system at age 12 or 13 may be the optimum time in your personal development,
    3) Loisette's system is excellent and timeless.
