Publisher's Synopsis
It is easy to fall into the delusion that the few things thus distinctly remembered and visualized are precisely those which were most important in our life, and on that account were saved by memory while all the rest has been permanently blotted out. That is indeed how our memory serves and fools us; for at some period of a man's life-at all events of some lives-in some rare state of the mind, it is all at once revealed to him as by a miracle that nothing is ever blotted out.
