SIX LESSONS ON SHORT-HAND.
By P. B. TEMPLETON,

Late RepOrter for the " Manchester Times."
W. S. Orr and Co., Amen Corner, Paternoster-row, Loudon;
Bancks and Co. , St. Ann's-square, and Heywood; Oldham-
street, Manchester; and may be had of all Booksellers.
By these Lessoas any person may make himself acquainted
with stenography in an incredibly short time. The author re-
quests attention to the following notices
" Possessing at least fifteen years' practical experience, and
having read every system of short-hand I could obtain access
to—having . myself a collection of about . sixty different
systems, printed and in MS.—I may say that, as it appears to
me, you are the first to strike out of the beaten path of steno-
graphical writers and teachers, in the mode of your instruc-
tion and order of your lessons I think a more
rapid progress may be made in the knowledge, not
only of your particular system, but of the principles of the art
generally, by your book than by any other I have seen."—Let-
ter from Mr. J. Harland, Reporter, Manchester Guardian.
" The simplicity and orderly arrangement of the lessons are
such as we have never seen equalled ; indeed, nothing better
adapted to the wants of students of short-hand could be de-
sired or conceived."—Manchester Courier.
" From the clear and easy rules laid down in it to instruct
the learner, it is one of the best works on short-hand that a
student can possibly lay hold of ; and, viewing it in comparison
with other works on the subject, we do not think it has a com-
petitor."—Manchester Times.
" We hare looked through this treatise with much satisfac-
tion; and believe we axe safe in recommending it to the atten-
tion of all intending students of the art, as the most complete,
sensible, and practicable system ever brought under our notice."
—Manchester and Salford Advertiser. _

" The arrangement of the lessons 'h at once novel and ex-
cellent, and the instruc.ions are conveyed in clear and perspi-
cuous language. We have no hesitation in saying that the
learner needs no other instructor than this little work to
enablehim to acquire the art, and to practise it with success."

—Leeds Times. -
" We have read this little treatise very attentively, and have
no hesitation in pronouncing it the best work on the subject
that has yet been published."—post Magazine.
" Mr. Templeton's c..aracter as a short-hand writer, in con-
nection with the press for a number of yeas, is a sufficient
guarantee of the practicability and excellence of his system."
—Manchester Chronicle.

i‘Mr. Templeton's great experience and general accuracy
as a short-hand writer entitle his obse:vations on the teaching
of the art to careful attention. From our own knowledge of
Mr. Templeton's capabilities, as well as from a careful perusal
of his work, we have formed a very high opinion of its merits.
—Leeds Intelligencer.

" Among the works on this branch of science is one

nn
nP. antß. Templeton,

htlemanwho
press,
and
who is as skille fin the practice as in the theory of short-hand
writing."—Dublin Pilot.
" The exercises given only require a little attention to be
understood ; and we may venture to assert, that with Mr.
Templeton's six lessons as guides, if the learner possesses ap-
plication for study and opportunity for practice, he may ac-
quire, in a short time, sufficient knowledge of short-hand to be
able to follow the most fluent speaker."—Duhlin Evening
Packet.
" We have read this little book with great care and attention,
and we feel no hesitation in recommending it as tho very best
treatise we have ever read on the science of short-hand. It is
the practical work of a practical man. Nothing is laid down
by the author as proper to he done that ho has not himself
found to be so—and that the writer of this, who has had some
fifteen years experience in the Law Courts, at public meetings,
and in the gallery, does not cordially approve of."—Planet.
" Those who wish to know short-hand, and desire to prac-
tise it, as they see it every day used by those connected with
the Press, will learn the six lessons' by Mr. Templeton, and
persevere with them. Those who have a desire to be deluded
—to lose at once their money and their time—will deal with the
advertising quacks who profcss to make men accomplished
stenographists in a few days—they might as well profess to
teach a child to read in six hours from the first moment at
which it commenced learning its alphabet. Mr. Templeton
professes no such thing. He gives six good lessons in short-
hand—and he leaves them to the learner, with sound advice,
that requires only to be followed to be most profitable."—Bell's
New Weekly
.Messenger.
" After giving Mr. Templeton's book a careful perusal, we
have much pleasure in recommending it as tne best work on
the subject we ever happened to meet."—Bolton Free Press.
" The student will find this a simple and easy system. The
alphabet, the prefixes, and terminations, as well as the arbi-
traries, appear to be easy of acquisition, and judiciously selected
for rapidity in writing, while the rules and exercises are so
plain and succinct that they cannot be misunderstood."—York
Herald.
" To those who are about to engage in tl e study of this use-
ful and interesting science we would point out this cheap little
work as worthy of their attention, feeling assured that the
carrying out of the system laid down will enable them to
realize most of the great and important advantages connected
with it. It is written by a practical man, one who has had
many years experience in short-hand writing, both for his own
private purpose and for the benefit of the public in connection
with the newspaper press in some of the largest towns in this
country."—Yorkshireman.
Besides these the opinions of nearly fifty . other periodicals
might be quoted, all of which speak equally in favour of the
merits of this little work. _

as possess only a small personal property, Insurances are effected
against loss by Fire, in sums from 101. to 1001., by Quarterly

Insured, on payment of Sixpence every Three Months, duty
included.

The attention of the Publie is particularly directed to this
very novel feature, for the man to whom this fact is known, will
henceforth deserve little sympathy should he become the victim
of a calamity, against the evils of which he could so readily

THE LATE LIVERPOOL

MEETING.

For reasons, doubtless very cogent, all particular allu•
sion to the Cora-laws was avoided by mutual consent.
This seems to have given offence in many quarters. The
Anti-Corn-law Circular of Thursday alludes: to it in-
directly, with some asperity. The Sun of the same day
observes—
"We dare not condemn the Liverpool merchants for
exclusively attending to their own interests, and disregard-
ing the general welfare, but they must not blame the land-
lords who uphold the Corn-laws, and the Chartists who
demand Universal Suffrage, for following their selfish ex-
ample. If the middle classes seek only their own advan-
tage they must not be surprised when they appeal to the
multitude that the multitude laugh their appeals to scorn.
The working classes have been practically taught, un.
fortunately, to mistrust the middle classes when they
agitate for free trade or the repeal of the Corn-laws ;
and Bence the cry, warranted by the conduct of the
capitalists, which argument cannot rebut, that 'their
object is to enrich themselves, to beat down wages, and
enslave the millions more than ever. As long as the
middle classes, however, are so keenly alive to their own
interests, and so dead to those of others, shaking the
empire to get rid of a little personal inconvenience, and
refusing to move a little finger to redress the grievances of
the working millions, alienation and mistrust will continue,
and the landlords will continue, as at present, to tax, op-
press, and plunder both. We deeply regret, if we may
not blame, every instance of such short-sighted selfish.

ness."
Now this is hardly fair of The Sun. The " middle
classes" are not " exclusively seeking their own advan-
tage." They are seeking the advantage of the public,
of the consumer, as much as their own, in trying to lower
the price of sugar, coffee, and timber. A very great
portion of the mercantile body of Liverpool is fa-
vourable to removing the restrictons on the importa-
tion of food; and that portion met, and, in conjunc-
tion with the working classes, or, at least, that portion of
them which had the good sense to see that the interests of
all the producing classes are identical, protested in the
most energetic terms against the Corn-laws. That goad
work being done, they meet again, and, in conjunction
with that large partion of the mercantile body who think
they have reasons, either political or commercial, to refrain
from joining in the Corn-law agitation, protest against
the enhancement of the price, for corrupt or foolish pur-
poses, of the other great necessaries of life. The path of
duty is pursued by them so far as they can do so; and they
pursue it, notwithstanding every obstruction thrown in
their way by "upper " 'or by " lower "classes, by land-
lord or by Chartist. They will accept the co-operation
of landlords, merchants, or of foworking millions," so far
as it is offered them.
Besides, much good is dono incidentally by these meet-
ings. Sound principles ate diffused, the application of
which will come in due time. Every tower of monopoly
broken down weakens the whole edifice: The great
support of the corn monopoly, next to the landlords, is the
West India interest, and whenever that powerful body is
brought.within the orbit of free trade, its gravation will,
from very obvious causes, the West India islands being
importers of food, be entirely in the opposite direction.
