Is simple apd easy that its principles can all be
learned in a few hours and a small amount OF prac
tce will enable one 70 use It for the daily purposes Of
life.
None but those who are acquainted With II can
form any lea Of its great breVIty and simplicity or
of the ease with which it be learned. But what
is Phonog aphyi Il IS asystem OF short hand writing
which can be writtel4en times as fast as the
writing, read as easily, and learned with far less
trouble.

thousands ia this country and In England for private
writing, for composition, for taxing testimony, etc
in courts for sermons, for cOrresposdence 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 savtafInvention, its value can scarcely
be estimated and it requires but Little time 20 learn
TO use il for the daily purposes Of life. But the OBJ
lection is made that others cannot read I'll Well then
let them spend few hours 20 learn it, for where is
the justice 10 requiring the active and Intelligent 10
speud ten days in doing what they might do in one

learning thing which would be useful to them for
lief The time when but few persons could
write their names, but the progress Of the age de
mauds a more rapid method Of writing, and while
the active aud intelligent MUST and WILL have the
advantages Of Photography, the incident must sub
NIT to the disadvantage caused by their own indie
lenee. 81
The ease with which Il can be brought into profit
able and daily use Is shown By the following certn
