The study of language is of interest to the 

 lawyer as well as the clergyman, the scientist as 

 well as the teacher, and no education is com- 

 plete without it. 



Max Miiller says in this most instructive and 



interesting book : 



" Try to reckon without numbers , whether spoken, 

 written, or otherwise marked, and if you succeed in that, 

 I shall admit that it is possible to reason or reckon with- 

 out words, and that there is in us such a thing, or such 

 a power or faculty, as reason apart from words. * * * 



" People do no longer believe in witches nor in ghosts. 

 But the belief in disembodied thought will die very hard. 



*^ As little as we possess a thing called hunger because 

 we are hungry, do we possess a thing called reason be- 

 cause we are rational. Why then, should we write it 

 with a Capital R, and make a goddess of Reason and 

 worship her, as she was actually worshipped in the streets 

 of Paris f * * * "

EXACT PHONOGRAPHY 



A System with CONNECTIBLE STROKE VOWEL 

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

 Stock Exchange, member (and 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 Le^al 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- 

 mon. nt07iosyllabic 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 REQUIRE^IENTS. 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 

 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 : " 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 , S LOCUM (Official Supreme Court Stenog'r, Buffalo, 

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

 ducing to the world 3. reasonable 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 exact phonography." 



E. E. MORTON, 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- 

 expert in its use, will turn out work practically
