The phrenotyper reads them over once or twice, and recites them exactly in the same order, from the top to the bottom, or from the bottom to the top.
SECOND EXPERIMENT.
'The audience numbers all these words from beginning to end; viz.,
| 1, Rope, |
| 2, Box, |
| 3, Head, |
| 4, Mirror, |
| 5, Strong, |
| 6, Leg, |
| 7, Wet, |
| 8, Door, |
| 9, Angle, |
| 10, Beam, |
| 11, Book, |
| 12, Cupboard, |
| 13, Polygon, |
| 14, Clock, |
| 15, Crevice, |
| 16, Love, |
| 17, Liberty, |
| 18, Embroidery, |
| 19, Black, |
| &c., &c. |
The phrenotyper commits to memory this numerical order with the same rapidity, and tells, promiscuously, any word when the corresponding number is given, or tells the number when the word is given.
