"EXACT PHONOGRAPHY 



A System with CONNECTIBLE STROKE VOWEL 

 SIGNS," by Geo. R. Bishop, Stenographer of N.Y. 

 Stock Exchange, member (nnd in 1883 President) NY. 

 State Stenogr'rs' Ass'n, &c. Complete Text-Book,— 

 adapted to SELF-INSTRUCTION, — of a REVOLU- 

 TIONARY SYSTEM, that discards the indefinite (vow- 

 el) part of the common phonography, and secures, by a 

 radical innovation, EXACTNESS with BREVITY. 

 Specially adapted to Legal and other Technical work. A 

 phonographic author writes of it : — " On technical mat- 

 ter, you are ahead of any form of Pitman's phonog- 

 raphy." The author claims equal superiority on cojfi- 

 mon, mo7iosyHnb7c words, SHARPLY and SURELY 

 DISTINGUISHING and WITHOUT SACl-ilFICE 

 of BREVITY, where the old phonography makes no dis- 

 tinction A MODKRN WORK. ADAP'i'ED to MOD- 

 ERN REQUIRh:MENTS. Five pp. Latin Law Mr^x- 

 ims. in shorthand, illustrate its adaptation to various lan- 

 guages. Of 260 pp., 222 are engraved, — illustrating all 

 principles with unprecedented fulness. 



E. D. EASTON, Washington, D.C., official Stenographer 

 in Star Route and Guiteau trials, says of the work : "Am 

 satisfied that by the system therein so fully set out, stu- 

 dents may learn to write shorthand with greater certainty 

 and precision than by any of the older systems." 



ISAAC S. DEMENT, Chicago, Speed Contestant at N.Y. 

 State Stenogr'rs' Ass'n meeting, 1887, says r '^ You have 

 certainly captured the prize on legibiliiyy 



THEO. C. ROSE, official Supreme Court Stenog'r, El- 

 mira, N.Y. , says: '" I think it is a great improvement in 

 the art phonographic." 



W H. SLOCUM.official Supreme Court Stenog'r, Buffalo, 

 says: '• Must congratulate you on your success in pro- 

 ducing to the world treasonable system of shorthand." 

 and " I think the fraiern ty owe you their hearty thanks 

 for the able manner in which you have demonstrated the 

 feasibility of exact phonography." 



E. E. HORTON, Toronto, official Stenog'r to High Court 

 of Justice, Ontario, says : *' The extent to which E.xact 

 Phonography admits of the application of the expedient 

 of phrase-writing, with easy and natural Joinings, is 

 something remarkable." 



EDWARD B. DICKINSON, New York Ciiy, President 

 (1887-8) N.Y. State Stenographers' Ass'n. says :" Any 

 expert stenographer, whatever system he may write, will 

 concede, in looking over this system, that it can be writ- 

 ten as rapidly as any of the recognized systems, so far as 

 its structural peculiarities are concerned. As to the ac- 

 curacy of the sy-tem, its title is not a misnomer," and 

 adds, " It is a beautiful machine, which, as its user be- 

 comes expert in its use. will turn out work practically 

 without flaw."
