REMEM'BRANCE, noun

1. The retaining or having in mind an idea which had been present before, or an idea which had been previously received from an object when present, and which recurs to the mind afterwards without the presence of its object.

The latter imply the power or the act of recalling ideas which do not spontaneously recur to the

mind.
