A RooR OF Uncommon Prayer.

two editions Of IL, in l2mo. and 24mo,

which you have, in 8 few hours, enabled
US to master the principles of PhOnog-
raphy.
The system is brief, simple and admit
rabIy adapted to the wants of society.
Il can never be opposed, except by those
who are ignorant of its principles. Your
peculiar method of teaching it, renders
its attsinm, Mt not task, but an attrsc-
tive pleasure. The text book you nse
(Pitman's ManuaD is admirably arranged
for the pupil. By the invention of this
wonderful art, Pitman has placed his
name high on the roll of human bene-
factors, and we think it should be taught
to every child in the land.
To occupy the idle hours of camp life
it might be taught to every company in
the army, without in the least interfering
with the duties of the soldier, prevent q,
worse use of those idle hours, and, we
believe its attainment would be valued
as highly as the pay received from the
Government.
