To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Whenever we put forth an exercise of intentional memory, or make a formal attempt to remember some cir- cumstance, it is evident that the event in general, of which the circumstance, when recalled, will be found to be a part, must have previously been an object of atten- tion. That is, we remember the great outlines of some story, but cannot in the first instance give a complete ac- count of it, which we wish to do. We make an effort to recall the circumstances not remembered in two ways. — We ...may, in \hejirst place, form different suppositions, and see which agrees best with the general outlines ; the general features or outlines of the subject being detained before us, with a considerable degree of permanency, by means of some feeling of desire or interest. This method of restoring thoughts is rather an inference of reasoning than a genuine exercise of memory. We may, in the second place, merely delay upon those \houghts which we already hold possession of, and re- volve them in our minds ; until, aided by some principle of association, we are able to lay hold of the particular ideas for which we were searching.
