PHONOGRAPHY

Is so simple and easy that It's principles can all be
learned In few hours, and a small amount OF prac
tce will enable 1t for tho daily purposes of
life.
None but those who are acquainted with ii can
form any lea OF Its great breyity aud simplicity or
Of the ease with which It can be learned But what
is Photography Il is system OF short hand writing
which can be written ten times fast the common
writing read as easily, and learned with far less
trouble.
II is used not only by Reporters but by hundreds Of
thousands In this country and in England for private
writing for compost ton, for taking testimony elc;
in courts, for sermons, for correspondence for book
keeping, etc, etc by Ladies, by Students, by Clerks
by Clergymen, by Lawyers, etc, and is rapidly com
ing into general use
As a labor saw g invention, It's value can sc .rcey
be estimaoc, ard II requires but little time 20 learn
TO use II for the daily purposes OF life. But the OBJ
lection Is made that others cannot read 80 Well then
let them spend few hours TO learn il, for where is
the justice IN requiring the active and intelligent to
spend ten days in doing what they might do In one
merely to save the ndoleut a few hours effort in
learning thing which would DO useful to them for
hfef The tine was when but few persons could
write their names, but the progress Of the age de
mands a more rapid method Of writing, and while
the active and intelligent MUST and villa have the
advantages of Photography, the indOlent must sub.
nit TO the disadvantage caused by their own indo
ence.
The ease with which it can be brought INTO profit.
able and daily use is shown by tho following oertn
Gates. 1t Is only those who arc 'gHoram OF It who
ever speak against It.
