Is so simple and easy that its principles can all be
learned in few hours, and a small amount Of prac-
tice will enable one to 1t for the daily purposes Of
life.
None but those who are acquainted with It can
form any lea Of its great brevity and simplicity or
Of the ease with which 1t can be learned. But what
is Photography 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.
1t s used not only by Reporters but by hundreds Of
thousands in this country and in England for private
writing for composition, for taking testimony, etc.;
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 labor saviag invention, its value can scarcely
be estimated, and il requires but little time 10 learn
TO IT 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 to learn it, for where is
the Justice IN requiring the active and intelligent 10
spend ten days in doing what they might do in one
merely TO save the indolent q few hours effort In
learning thing which would be useful to them for
lief The time 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 WILL have the
advantages Of Photography, the indolent must sub
NIT 10 the disadvantage caused by their own indo-
ience.
The ease with which It can be brought into profit
able and daily use is shown by the following certih
cates. II Is only those who ignorant Of Il who
ever speak against il.
NASHVILLE, Dec. 18th, 1880;
S.R: The few lessons took from you some time
since in Photography have enabled me to save more
than two-hids Of the labor in preparing my sermons
and have doubt It viii soon enable me 70 save
three-fourths Of it. have never spent time more
probably than in its attainment, and feel perfectly
free In recommending II TO CergyEnen generally, as
means by which vast amount Of time may be saved
and that with far less effort than generally BED
posed Its principles are few and simple, Of easy
attainment and suited 20 the full expression OF every
word In the language, either for present use or per

NASHVILLE, August /, 1853.
Ia 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 faithful teaching Of Mr. J. ". DOlbear, Of Nash
VILE and the study and practice Of the concise CON-
prehensve, Gnd judiciously arranged Photographic
books Of Ben Pitman, Of Cincinnati, have thus easily
enabled me 70 make Photography practically useful.
rs principles are quickly mastered, and know Of
nothing that young persons can earn with equal pros
The Secretary Of War has ordered July 9Th, 1883,
in sGeneral order No. 2Os, Photographic reporters
employed under the authority q the 29ih section Of
the act Of Congress, approved March B. 1858, VIII be
allowed not exceeding ten dollars per day" etc This
will OF course greatly increase the demand for Re-
pOrtcEs. DUNCAN a. Doksis.
