PHOTOGRAPHY


is 50 simple and easy that its principles can all be
learned 10 few hours, and small amount of prac-
toe will enable one TO use for the daily purposes Of
life
None but those who are acquainted with It can
form any lea of its great brevty and simplicity, or
OF the ease with which 1t be learned. But what
is Phonngaphy7 Il is system Of short hand writing
which can be written ten times fast as the common
writing, read as easily, and learned with lar less
trouble.
Il Is used not only by Reporters but by hundreds Of
thousands In this country and in England for private
writing, for composition, for taxing testimony etc.
in courts, for sernols for correspondence for book
keeping etc, etc by Ladies, by Students, by Clerks
by Cergymen, by Lawyers, etc, and Is rapidly CON
ing into general use
AS a labOr saving invention, its value can Scarcely
be estimated and it requires but little time to learn
TO It for the daily purposes Of life. But the OBJ
lection made that others cannot read III Well then
let them spend few hours to learn il for where is
the justice in requiring the active and Intelligent to
speud ten days in doing what they might do in one
merely 20 the indolent few hours effort in
learning thing which would be useful TO them for
lieS The time 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 MIST and WILL have the
advantages Of Photography, the indolent must sub
nit 10 the disadvantage caused by their own indo
lence.
The ease with which it can he brought INTO profit
able and daily use is shown by the following celtf
Gates. 1t is only those who ignorant Of it who
ever speak against it.

Mr.. J. ". DoLBEAR:
SIR: The few lessons took from You some time
since in PhOncgrsphy, have enabled save more
than wo-thirds Of the labor in preparing my sermons
and have no doubt il will coon enable me 10 save
three fOUrths of it. have never spent time more
probably than in its attainment, andI feel perfectly
Tree in recommending it to Clergymen generally, as
means by which q vast amount Of time may be saved
and that with far effort than s generally sun
posed. Its principles are few and 81 nple OF easy
attainment and suited to the full eKpresson Of evary
word in the language either for present use or per
aGent record. Yeurs respectfully,
Pastor Of the % Presbyterian Church,
Nashville, Tenn.
NASHVILLE, August l, 1855.
In about six months from the time began The
study Of Photography, with less than one-third Of
said time devoted 70 its attainment, was EMPLOYED
as Reporter for the United States Board Of Claims
The faith fu teaching of Mr J. W DObear, OF Nash
vile, and the study and practice OF the concise com
prehensive, and juaiciOusy arranged phonoz aphic
books Of Ben Pitman, Of Cincinnati have thus essily
enabled me to make Photography practically useful
Its principles are quickly mastered, and / know OF
nothing that young persons can learn with equal pros
pect of immediate and profitable employment
The Secretary Of War has ordered, July 9th, 1863
in General Order No. 20S, p geographic reporters
employed under the authority of the 18th section Of
the act Of Congress, approved March 3, 1863, will be
allowed not exceeding ten dollars per day. etc Tts
will Of course greatly increase the demand for Re
Porters, DrAcAS X. DogHs.

Bon. THOMAS II. BEEToS said in Congress:
'Hsd this art been known forty years ego II would
have saved me twenty years Of hard labor
II Photography IL thus valuable IN saving so large
amount Of q LIFETIME, should not every child have
lis vast advantages, especially when they can b. had
at 50 small an expense Of time aud money II il
would have saved twenty years Of hard labor to the
life % man. should years Of hard labor be brought
upon others for the want OF blessicg " such easy
