{184} I have put these words into the mouth of my supposed objector, and shall put others like them, because they are characteristic; but nothing can become so well known as to escape being an inference.

{189} Erewhon, chap, xxiii.

{198a} It must be remembered that this pa.s.sage is put as if in the mouth of an objector.

{198b} Mr. Herbert Spencer denies that there can be memory without a "tolerably deliberate succession of psychical states." {198c} So that practically he denies that there can be any such thing as "unconscious memory." Nevertheless a few pages later on he says that "conscious memory pa.s.ses into unconscious or organic memory." {198d} It is plain, therefore, that he could after all find no expression better suited for his purpose.

Mr. Romanes is, I think, right in setting aside Mr. Spencer's limitation of memory to conscious memory. He writes, "Because I have so often seen the sun s.h.i.+ne that my memory of it as s.h.i.+ning has become automatic, I see no reason why my memory of this fact, simply on account of its perfection, should be called no memory." {198e}
