        [1913 Webster]
  
     Syn: Memory, Remembrance, Recollection, Reminiscence.
  
     Usage: Memory is the generic term, denoting the power by
            which we reproduce past impressions. Remembrance is an
            exercise of that power when things occur spontaneously
            to our thoughts. In recollection we make a distinct
            effort to collect again, or call back, what we know
            has been formerly in the mind. Reminiscence is
            intermediate between remembrance and recollection,
            being a conscious process of recalling past
            occurrences, but without that full and varied
            reference to particular things which characterizes
            recollection. ``When an idea again recurs without the
            operation of the like object on the external sensory,
            it is remembrance; if it be sought after by the mind,
            and with pain and endeavor found, and brought again
            into view, it is recollection.'' --Locke.
            [1913 Webster]
  
     To draw to memory, to put on record; to record. [Obs.]
        --Chaucer. Gower.
        [1913 Webster]
