Book Description
"As with many of the systems common at the time, notably those of Grey and Feinagle, that of the Pikes is rather complicated, despite their best efforts at elucidation. Divided into two parts, the work is accompanied by a number of appealing illustrations and contains a 'mnemonic dictionary'. Once outlined, the system is put into practice to help variously chronologically arranged historical events, the principle cities and towns of the U.S., U.S. presidents, as well as the governors of several states. The work concludes with a synopsis and comparison of their system against those of Grey, Feinagle, Gourand, and Halworth."--Antiquarian bookseller's description.
