Phonography is now used — 
By clergymen, who read their sermons from its legible characters; — By physicians, who use it for their 
diaries, etc., where exactitude is often life to their patients; — By Lawyers, who find it of immense 
professional • .! vantage in preparing their briefs, etc.; — By jmhlic writers, who, by its use, are enabled 
to secure the “ evanescent sparks of genius, ere they fade and disappear; ” — By students , for taking 
notes of lectures md for making extracts:— By reporters, among whom hitman’s shorthand takes the 
lead, both in this country and in America; — By merchants , by clerks , for writing from dictation, and 
by “ all sorts and cond lit ons of mm "' whose advocations in life call them to “ drive a quill. ”■ -By 
going through a thoroughly, systematic course of private lessons such as I have devised, shorthand 
may be learnt in twenty lessons. Phono. 48, Sir. Mercanti, Valletta.
