      Syn: {Memory}, {Remembrance}, {Recollection}, {Reminiscence}.
  
      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. [bd]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.[b8]
                  --Locke.

      {Minor scale} (Mus.) The form of the minor scale is various.
            The strictly correct form has the third and sixth minor,
            with a semitone between the seventh and eighth, which
            involves an augmented second interval, or three semitones,
            between the sixth and seventh, as, ^{6/F}, ^{7/G[sharp]},
            ^{8/A}. But, for melodic purposes, both the sixth and the
            seventh are sometimes made major in the ascending, and
            minor in the descending, scale, thus:

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Minor \Mi"nor\, n.
      1. A person of either sex who has not attained the age at
            which full civil rights are accorded; an infant; in
            England and the United States, one under twenty-one years
            of age.
  
      Note: In hereditary monarchies, the minority of a sovereign
               ends at an earlier age than of a subject. The minority
               of a sovereign of Great Britain ends upon the
               completion of the eighteenth year of his age.
  
      2. (Logic) The minor term, that is, the subject of the
            conclusion; also, the minor premise, that is, that premise
            which contains the minor term; in hypothetical syllogisms,
            the categorical premise. It is the second proposition of a
            regular syllogism, as in the following: Every act of
            injustice partakes of meanness; to take money from another
            by gaming is an act of injustice; therefore, the taking of
            money from another by gaming partakes of meanness.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Mamre
      manliness. (1.) An Amoritish chief in alliance with Abraham
      (Gen. 14:13, 24).
     
         (2.) The name of the place in the neighbourhood of Hebron
      (q.v.) where Abraham dwelt (Gen. 23:17, 19; 35:27); called also
      in Authorized Version (13:18) the "plain of Mamre," but in
      Revised Version more correctly "the oaks [marg., 'terebinths']
      of Mamre." The name probably denotes the "oak grove" or the
      "wood of Mamre," thus designated after Abraham's ally.
     
         This "grove" must have been within sight of or "facing"
      Machpelah (q.v.). The site of Mamre has been identified with
      Ballatet Selta, i.e., "the oak of rest", where there is a tree
      called "Abraham's oak," about a mile and a half west of Hebron.
      Others identify it with er-Rameh, 2 miles north of Hebron.
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Mamre, rebellious; bitter; set with trees
