comes to be done
unconsciously and automatically_.

[Sidenote: _The Mental Combination Revealed_]

Every man, consciously or unconsciously, forms his own memory habits,
good or bad. Form your memory habits consciously according to the laws
of the mind, and in good time they will act unconsciously and with
masterful precision.

"'Amid the shadows of the pyramids,' Bonaparte said to his soldiers,
'twenty centuries look down upon you,' and animated them to action and
victory. But all the centuries," says W.H. Grove, "and the eternities,
and God, and the universe, look down upon us--and demand the highest
culture of body, mind and spirit."

A good memory is yours for the making. But _you_ must make it. We can
point the way. _You_ must act.

The laws of Association and Recall are the combination that will unlock
the treasure-vaults of memory. Apply these laws, and the riches of
experience will be available to you in every need.

The purpose of this book has been to make clear certain mental
principles and processes, namely, those of Retention, Association and
Recall. Incidentally, as with every book in this _Course_, it contains
some facts and instructions of immediate practical utility. But
primarily it is intended only to help prepare your mind to understand a
scientific system for success-achievement that will be unfolded in
subsequent volumes.
