Gregor Feinaigle opened in Dublin in 1813 one of the most splendid and, briefly, successful public schools in Great Britain, unusual for the extent of its offerings, for its advanced disciplinary methods, and for the key to its teaching methods – the art of memory. How Feinaigle, a German priest turned mnemonist, rose to fame as an educator in Ireland is the subject of this article.
