THAT one thought is often suggested by another, and that the sight of an external object often recalls past perceptions and revives former feelings, are facts known to all who are accustomed to any considerable degree of reflection. The sight of any remarkable scene in the course of a journey which we have before made with a friend, will recall the minute particulars of any conversation we may have had at that place. We find memoirs of ourselves written in broad and prominent characters, in every place where we have conversed with happiness or misery. Objects of sight are remembered more easily than those which affect our other senses; and hence it is, that we are most aided in our recollections by impressions made on the eye. In the study of geometry, for example, every person must have remarked the great utility of diagrams as an assistance to the memory. It is useful, then, to connect thoughts remote, or abstract, with others more obvious and familiar, that the recurrence of the latter may bring along with them the recollection of the former. Thus the sight of my ring, which I cannot fail to observe, reminds me of the cause for which I moved it from one finger to another. The ringing of a bell, or the sounding of a clock, frequently puts us in mind of our business or duty. The first words of a paragraph, or a page, often lead to the recollection of the whole.
