Memorization

Committing anything to memory. Used to describe the act of one who listens to a public representation of a play or drama, and then, from his recollection of its scenes, incidents, or language, reproduees it, substantially or in part, in dorogation of the rights of the author. See § Term R, 245; 14 Amer. Law Reg. (N. 8.) 207. states of consciousness in their consecutive order. This word, as used in jurisprudence to denote one of the psychological elements necessary in the making of a valid will or contract or the commission of a crime, implies the mental power to conduct a consecutive train of thought, or an orderly planning of affairs, by recalling correctly the past states of the mind and past events, and arranging them in their due order of sequence and in their logical relations with the events and mental states of the present. The phrase “sound and disposing mind ard memory” means not merely distinct recollection of the items of one’s property and the persons among whom it may be given, but entire power of mind to dispose of property by will.
