Hardcover. Zustand: Good. No Jacket. 5th or later Edition. I am pleased to be able to offer an early book about phonography- the writing system that uses individual symbols to represent the sounds of speech rather than whole words or concepts. Please find on offer here a vintage book titled: "The Phongraphic Reader: A Complete Course of Inductive Reading Lessons in Phonography" by S. P. Andrews and Augustus F. Boyle.

This book includes about 25 pages of Introduction with the remaining 35 pages offering a catalogue of the Symbols. Following the 60 pages of text, there are another 8 pages with a List of Publications by the publisher. Condition: This book is in good condition, only. The hard covers are darkened, stained and bumped (please see the photos) without ever obscuring the text of the book. Inside, a former owner has stamped his name on both endpapers but those are the only marks I found in the book. There is some staining and toning to the early and late pages of the book and the interior pages have some random soiling and very light foxing. Both hinges are intact and the binding is tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.…
