memory
\Mem"o*ry\, n.;
pl..
[OE. memorie, OF. memoire, memorie, F. m['e]moire, L.
memoria, fr. memor mindful; cf. mora delay. Cf.,,,.]
1. The faculty of the mind by which it retains the knowledge
of previous thoughts, impressions, or events.Memory is the purveyor of reason. --Rambler.2. The reach and positiveness with which a person can remember; the
strength and trustworthiness of one's power to reach and represent
or to recall the past; as, his memory was never wrong.3. The actual and distinct retention and recognition of past ideas
in the mind; remembrance; as, in memory of youth; memories of
foreign lands.4. The time within which past events can be or are remembered; as,
within the memory of man.And what, before thy memory, was done From the begining. --
Milton.5. Something, or an aggregate of things, remembered; hence,
character, conduct, etc., as preserved in remembrance, history, or
tradition; posthumous fame; as, the war became only a memory.The memory of the just is blessed. --Prov. x. 7.That ever-living man of memory, Henry the Fifth. --Shak.The Nonconformists . . . have, as a body, always venerated her
[Elizabeth's] memory. --Macaulay.6. A memorial. [Obs.]These weeds are memories of those worser hours. --Shak.Syn:
,,,.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.
, to put on
record; to record. [Obs.] -- Chaucer. Gower.MemoriesDemurMartyrMemoirRememberMemoryRemembranceRecollectionReminiscenceTo draw to

n.
A belief or conclusion held with confidence but not substantiated by positive knowledge or proof:“The world is not run by thought, nor by imagination, but by opinion” (Elizabeth Drew).
A judgment based on special knowledge and given by an expert: a medical opinion.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Middle English, from Old French, from Latin opni, opnin-, from opnr, to think.]
Synonyms: opinion, view, sentiment, feeling, belief, conviction, persuasion
These nouns signify something a person believes or accepts as being sound or true. Opinion is applicable to a judgment based on grounds insufficient to rule out the possibility of dispute:“A little group of willful men, representing no opinion but their own, have rendered the great Government of the United States helpless and contemptible” (Woodrow Wilson). View stresses individuality of outlook: “My view is... that freedom of speech means that you shall not do something to people either for the views they have or the views they express” (Hugo L. Black). Sentiment and especially feeling stress the role of emotion as a determinant: “If men are to be precluded from offering their sentiments on a matter which may involve the most serious and alarming consequences... reason is of no use to us” (George Washington). “There needs protection... against the tyranny of the prevailing opinion and feeling” (John Stuart Mill). A belief is a conclusion to which one subscribes strongly: “Our belief in any particular natural law cannot have a safer basis than our unsuccessful critical attempts to refute it” (Karl Popper). Conviction is belief that excludes doubt: “the editor's own conviction of what, whether interesting or only important, is in the public interest” (Walter Lippmann). Persuasion applies to a confidently held opinion: “He had a strong persuasion that Likeman was wrong” (H.G. Wells).

principles. --Coleridge.The sense perceives; the understanding, in its own peculiar operation, conceives; the reason, or rationalized understanding,
