``As for the location where a given image is to be store, Ricci give sthe 
Chinese a number of further rules.  The place should be spacious, but not 
so crowded with images that a single one gets lost:  a magistrate's yamen, 
a busy market, or a school jammed with students would all be unsuitable.''

--- Jonathan D. Spence (1984), The memory palace of Matteo Ricci, p. 26.
