"EXACT PHONOGRAPHY; 



A System with CONNECTIBLE STROKE VOWEL 

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

 Stock Exchange, member (and in iSSa Pre'^ident) NY. 

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

 adapted to SELF-INSTRUCTION, — of a REVOLU- 

 TIONARY SYSTEM, that discards the indefinite fvow- 

 el) part of the comm^n_ phonography, and secjares,_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 com- 

 mo7i\ monosyllabic words, SHARPLY and SURELY 

 DISTINGUISHING and WITHOUT SACRIFICE 

 of BREVITY, where the old phonography makes no dis- 

 tinction. A MODERN WORK, ADAPTED to MOD- 

 ERN REQUIREtVlENTS. Five pp. Latin Law Max- 

 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 

 m 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 : ■■' You have 

 certainly captured the prize en legibility^ 



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, SLGCUMjOfficial Supreme Court Stenog'r, Buffalo, 

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

 ducing to the world a j-easonable system of shorthand," 

 and " I think the fraternity owe you their hearty thanks 

 for the able manner in which you have demonstrated the 

 feasibility of ^^xact phonography." 



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

 of Justice. Ontario, says: " The extent to which Exact 

 Phonography admits of the application of the expedient 

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

 something remarkable." 



EDWARD B. DICKINSON, New York City, 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 system, 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."
