Sir Isaac Putnam was born at Trow- bridge, Wiltshire, in 1913, and began life in cloth factory. At the close of 1851, after a course in a normal school, he was appointed master of the British school at Barton-on- Humber In 1886 he established the British school at Wotton-under-E Edge and removed to Bath in 1889. His first treatise on shorthand appeared in 1887, and he was the originator of the scheme of spell ing reform to which, with his system of phonetic shorthand, he devoted all his attention since 1843, when the Phonetic society was established. His system of shorthand was renamed in 1S4O, and was entitled photography, or writing by sound"
 He also established the Phonetic in- stitute at Bath, which is really a, pho- netic printing office and a publishing house for the dispatch of phonetic books to all parts of the world. MT. Pitman there edited and printed the Phonetic Journal Besides printing his own instruction books for teaching phonetic shorthand MT. Pitman issued little library of about eighty volumes, printed entirely in shorthand, and ranging from the Bible to Rasselas, An international shorthand congress and jubilee of photography was held in London in the autumn of 1877, and MT. Pitman's family was presented with a bust, replica of which was placed in the Royal Literary and Sci entific Institute at Bath. The phono- graphers of the United States and those of Great Britain and the colonies presented MT. Putnam with gold med als in recognition of the invention of his system of shorthand and of his work in trying to reform English or thography. MT. Putnam was knighted in 1894.
 The following extract of letter Is an example of Sir Isaac's phonetic spelling:
 "Ser-A frend sujests tu me that l ought tu reit letter tn the Times ,plas- ing mel leif-eksperiens in kontrast with the editorial sumnling-up on MT.
