SIX LESSONS ON SHORT-HAND.
By P. B. TEMPLETON,
Late Reporter for the " Manchester Times."
W,S. Orr and Co., Amen Corner, Paternoster .row, London ;
Bancks and Co , St. Ann's-square, and Heywood, Oldham -
street, Manchester ; and may be had of all Booksellers.
By these Lessons 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 older 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 a• we hare 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 en short-band 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 corn-
petitor."—Manchester Times.
" We hale looked through this treatise with much satisfac-
tion, and believe we are 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 is at once novel and ex-
cellent, and the instruct;ons 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
enable him 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 publis' ed."—Post Magazine.
" Mr. Templeton's character as a short-hand writer, in con-
nection with the press for a number of years, is a sufficient
guarantee of the practicability and excellence of his system."
—Manchester Chronicle.
" Mr. Templeton's great experience and general accuracy
as a short-hand writer entitle his observations on the teae:iing
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 best works on this branch of science is one
lately published by Mr. P. B. Templeton, a gentleman who
has been a long time connected with the English press, and
who is as skille I in the practice as in the theory of shorthand
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 shorthand to be
able to follow the most fluent speaker."—Dublin Evening
Packet.
' " -

" We have read this little book with great care and attention,
end we feel no hesitation in recommending it as the 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 he has not himself
found to be so—and that the writer of this, who has had come
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 prof, ss to make men accomplished
stenocrraphists 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 learniuz 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 adjice,
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 rul?s 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 purpme 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, - -
