The New Art Of Memory: Founded Upon The Principles Taught By M. Gregor Von Feinaigle: And Applied To Chronology, History, Geography, Languages, Systematic Tables, Poetry, Prose, And Arithmetic. To Which Is Added, Some Account Of The Principal Systems Of Artificial Memory, From The Earliest Period by Gregor Von Feinaigle. This volume is a comprehensive early-19th-century handbook on mnemonic science, compiling Feinaigle’s memory art with a broad survey of historical mnemonic systems and related literature. It presents a pedagogy of memory improvement through systematic uptake of memory palaces, grouping, and symbolic imagery, and applies these techniques to chronology, geography, languages, arithmetic, and prose/poetry. The work blends practical instruction with prefatory reflections, advertisements, and extensive excerpts from earlier mnemonists, detailing the history of “Artificial Memory” systems from antiquity to the 17th–18th centuries, and including accounts of remarkable memory feats (e.g., Zerah Colburn, Jedediah Buxton). It also documents Feinaigle’s public demonstrations across Europe and discusses the potential utility of mnemonic training for professionals and scholars, along with critical commentary on related orthographic and linguistic ideas.
