[184] I have put these words into the mouth of my supposed objector, and shall put others like them, because they are characteristic; but nothing can become so well known as to escape being an inference.

[198a] It must be remembered that this passage is put as if in the mouth of an objector.
[198b] Mr. Herbert Spencer denies that there can be memory without a “tolerably deliberate succession of psychical states.” [198c] So that practically he denies that there can be any such thing as “unconscious memory.” Nevertheless a few pages later on he says that “conscious memory passes into unconscious or organic memory.” [198d] It is plain, therefore, that he could after all find no expression better suited for his purpose.
Mr. Romanes is, I think, right in setting aside Mr. Spencer’s limitation of memory to conscious memory. He writes, “Because I have so often seen the sun shine that my memory of it as shining has become automatic, I see no reason why my memory of this fact, simply on account of its perfection, should be called no memory.” [198e]
