Excerpt from A Manual of Phonography; Or, Writing by Sound: A Natural Method of Writing All Languages by One Alphabet, Composed of Signs That Represent the Sounds of the Human Voice; Adapted Also to the English Language So as to Form a Complete System of Phonetic Writing, Applicable to Every Purpose
Phonography is a system of writing by sound, or of Daguerreotyping speech on paper in so scientific a manner as to represent, with infallible accuracy, all the sounds of the human voice; consequently, not only the English, hut all other languages can he written by it, and in a mode, too, beyond comparison, shorter than any other short-hand in existence, and at the same time so legible that it can be read as easily as common print.
This art is creating an extraordinary excitement in England. Public meetings and festivals are being held in the principal cities and towns in that kingdom, to "commemorate its introduction," and to do honor to its inventor. The Gentlemen of the Press have unanimously adopted it. It has been introduced to the King's College, London, and the University of Glasgow, and also to the principal Schools and Mercantile establishments. A Phonographic Association has been formed, and a monthly Journal is printed in the Phonographic character, upwards of a thousand copies of which have been put in circulation, and the art bids fair, in a very short time, to supersede the present cumbrous system of writing.
The importance of such an art as this, to society generally, and particularly to a great community like ours, cannot be too highly estimated.
