PREFACE TO THE NINTH EDITION. 
 
 idea may be formed of the popularity of Sloan- 
 Duployan Phonography from the fact that the First 
 Edition (one thousand copies) of " Reporter " was issued in 
 March, 1883, a Second Edition of several thousand copies 
 appeared a few months afterwards, and now the Ninth Edition 
 is published! It has been introduced into leading Schools, 
 Colleges, Institutes, &c., throughout the United Kingdom, as 
 being the only system in the world that can enable boys and 
 girls to become practical shorthand writers and verbatim 
 reporters before leaving school for the various departments 
 of business or professional life. Boys are now leaving school 
 writing from 80 to 150 words per minute a feat formerly 
 deemed impossible. The odium hitherto attached to the 
 study of this useful art, on account of its difficulty (caused by 
 the worthless alphabet of the old style, and the illogical and 
 unscientific abbreviations introduced, calculated only to please 
 those who glory in unravelling mysteries), is now removed, as 
 proved by the enthusiastic manner in which all classes have 
 welcomed Sloan-Duployan Phonography. 
 
 America, Colonies, fyc. Though but recently introduced 
 into America, Sloan-Duployan lias already been introduced 
 into several of the leading Colleges (including the famous 
 Georgetown and Gonzaga Colleges), and private schools have 
 been established at Washington, St. Louis, Georgetown, &c. 
 It is used by several stenographers in the Government 
 Departments at Washington.

4 PREFACE TO THE NINTH EDITION. 
 
 In the Colonies Sloan -Daployan is also making rapid 
 progress, and. in short, wherever the English language is 
 spoken it has been well received. 
 
 I take this opportunity of returning my heartfelt thanks 
 to the many eminent educationalists, barristers, clergymen, 
 editors, press reporters, certificated teachers of the old system, 
 &c., &c., who, in the interest of progress and the good of the 
 nation, advocated so eloquently Sloan-Duployan Shorthand, 
 thus preserving it against the jealous attacks and misrepre- 
 sentations of those financially interested in the maintenance 
 of the old system. 
 
 I think it my duty to say that I could not have produced 
 so perfect a "Reporter" had it not been for the kind and 
 generous help I received from teachers and writers of my 
 system ; and towards them I shall ever feel grateful.

 FIRST LESSON. 
 
 QUADRANTS: Since the publication of Seventh Edition 
 v of " Instructor," the following quadrants have been intro- 
 duced to complete the circle: 
 
 large w for sw f as sweet, d~ swer 
 
 ,, sm ,, sn \ __ as snow, VQ snarl 
 
 kwforskw&sk __ / as school, ^^ squirrel 
 
 ,, sp for si __ / as slap, __^f chiseller 
 
 If a pen be used it is not necessary to thicken characters 
 traced upwards. Thickening being used exclusively to indicate 
 the letter " r," the student can see at a glance that if the " si " 
 be made light it means also "chisel, "and the context easily 
 decides between "chisel" and "chiseller." We take this 
 opportunity of calling attention to the fact that for reporting 
 purposes, and all shorthand work in general, a pencil is much 
 preferable to a pen. We have had a pencil specially manu- 
 factured for our own use, which makes light and heavy 
 strokes with a facility hitherto unknown. A character traced 
 upwards can be thickened with ease, and the pencils are so 
 durable that they last as long as six ordinary penny pencils. 
 They have now a large and increasing sale among writers of 
 all systems, which proves the high esteem in which they are 
 held. For price see advertisement at end of "Reporter." 
 
 We here give the complete circle, with letters attached 
 to each : 
 
 Quadrants* traced downwards. Quadrants traced upwards. 
 
6 SLOAN-DUPLOYAN REPORTER. 
 
 A qnadrant signifying two letters may frequently represent 
 a complete syllable, as simple v , seldom _^x (om, um, 
 &c., final can be traced as on, tin, &c.), silvery __^/\> When 
 the vowel follows the last letter indicated by the quadrant it 
 may be written thus : slavery _^\j 
 
 As " w " stands for " woo " beginning words (see " Instructor," 
 page 23), so "sw " means "swoo," thus : swoon f 
 
 The sign "sn" \^_ , when used as an affix, means "ssm " 
 (see page 26). 
 
 b, g, v, &c., may be lengthened to represent " bb," " gg," 
 
 "vv," thus: vivacity N. , gig /, bib As a 
 
 gen.ral rule this lengthening should only be used when the 
 hook vowel comes between, thus: bob d , babe or bib 
 
 Legibility is of primary importance, and when a vowel 
 is omitted it is a great help to have its exact position indi- 
 cated. If the above rule be rigidly applied, not only is the 
 exact position of the vowel indicated, but the hook vowel 
 is implied. Throughout the system vowels are indicated when 
 
 not expressed, thus: garden Z^ (signifying g x r, den), 
 burden I u (signifying b x r, den), &c. Whenever a 
 
 consonant follows a thick character there is a vowel concealed, 
 as shown in above examples, and to this rule there is not a 
 single exception. 
 
 Acquire one lesson only at a time, and practise the 
 abbreviations till you can use them without hesitation. After 
 this has been accomplished, learn the second lesson, and so 
 on. Practise regularly every day to dictation.

 SECOND LESSON. 
 
 TJHE nasal sounds an, en, in, may generally be used for the 
 Bounds of ain, een, ing, thus: remain ^_ , restrain <^r^ 
 maintain v_^ , seen v_^ , mean (^_ , been L, , meeting C-^ , 
 landing /^, having \, &c. ; and on, nn, for the sounds 
 
 Tnf flu, on, ocn, thus: unite /*"", union ^ , stone ~~y , 
 j;roin ^ 
 
 '^n ^x , noon \ , &c. 
 
 Words ending>w^ 
 
 *" may generally be written "st," thus: 
 passed 1 , forced v 
 
 6 and T short may be omitted after 
 
 lit 
 
 U 
 , trade 
 
 crape / . &c. When two vowels come together the more 
 important need only be written, thus: violiu V", ideal yy, 
 &c. The small circle may be used for the vowel sounds of "ah 
 and I long,'' thus: fat or fight ^V- > bat or bight J_, sat 
 or sight ^j> , &c. 
 
 It is a general principle of the sjstem to drop the 
 terminations of words, thus : restoration \^-? , illegal </?, 
 terminate ~^_ 
 
 Proper names should generally be traced in full, thus: Rome 
 
 v ^*n, thus: let or 
 
 ", bit or bet 1_, vicinity 
 
8 SLOAN-1)UPJX>YAN BEPOBTER. 
 
 ^ or , England/ , America C, &c.; though they 
 
 inay be abbreviated, if repeated in the same article, thus: Rome 
 ( , England / , America C When abbreviated, all 
 
 proper names should be underlined. As figures may be written 
 r pidly, no special signs are given for them. The figure 1 may- 
 be used for one, once, first, firstly ; 2 for two, twice, second, 
 secondly; 3 for three, thrice, third, thirdly, &c. ; 20, twentie^ 
 30, thirtieth ; 80, eightieth, &c., &c. If a line v 
 
 .uich means 900. 
 over figures it denotes hundreds, as *~ 
 
 ^res it denotes thousands, as 
 If a line be drawn throv'' 
 
 ,000. If a line be drawn below figures it 
 -Q- , which IP' 
 
 .iilions, as O , which means 9,000,000. Two or 
 dep' 
 more such abbreviations may be used, as -&~, which means 
 
 900,000; ^ means 900,000, 000 5 ^ means 900,000,000,000. 
 The first half of a large semicircle may be shaded to prefix 
 " R" and the second portion written light, or vice versa, thus: 
 
 remember f , resources 01 ;, resist \*^, murmur V. , 
 
 series or serious V > 
 
 At end of "Instructor" a few examples are given of the 
 use of the alphabetical signs in words of common recurrence, 
 also the manner of joining them in phrases.

 The student can thus write any phrase he may desire 
 without burdening the memory, liy simply joining the simple 
 characters together, with a legibility, facility, brevity, and 
 rapidity unequalled in any other system in the world. 
 
12 8LOAN-DUPLOYAN REPORTER. 
 
 THIRD LESSON. 
 
 "R" RULE. 
 
 INITIAL and final vowels may be thickened to affix " r,'' 
 
 thus : orb 9 , art a- , hurry ^ , arid , store ~^ , 
 
 order a, earth e , herb T, earl /, boar ', 
 
 bear [ , tear -a , seer o , rare ^, cheer x-a It will 
 be observed, from above examples, that it ie necessary to 
 thicken one side of vowel only. With a little practice the 
 student will find he will be able to dispense with the thickening 
 of initial and final vowels, and be able to read with ease. It 
 is only monosyllables that require to be vocalized as above, to 
 show the vowel coming between p x r, b x r, &c. In words 
 of two or more syllables it is not necessary, thus : empire '| 
 (representing em, p, vowel, r), restore "^ (or > w , repre- 
 senting r, vowel, s, t, vowel, r). When a vowel is omitted it ie 
 very important to fix its exact position. Note : When a con- 
 sonant or nothing follows a thick line there is always a vowel 
 between, and to this rale there are no exceptions ; thus : 
 garden L-^ (g, vowel, r, den), burden L^ (b, vowel, r, 
 den), border L_ (b, vowel, r, d, vowel, r).

SLOAK-DL'PLOVAS REPORTER. 13 
 
 Firm examples given in " Instructor," the student will have 
 observed that the above are the normal positions of initial 
 and final vowels. The normal position of the loop is the 
 same as the circular vowels. Examples Nos. 1 and 4 refer to 
 ' I and r," NOB. 2 and 5 refer to " t and d," Nos. 3 and 6 refer 
 to ' p, b, k, g, f, v." The reversal of initial vowels prefixes 
 
 "r:" examples: rob \ , rat c__ (also meaning out, note 
 
 that "ow" follows "r" rule), road o , rib |, 
 
 real S , royal ^ 
 
 Curves: The normal position of vowels is inside curves; 
 l>ut as s ^_, , ss v_x > sh ^, ch ^ ^, m (, mm (. , n ), 
 ng ) are thickened to prefix "r" (the only signs so 
 thickened), it is not necessary to reverse a vowel before these 
 si;_cns ; it may be done, however, in such words as roars 
 o^, (or /** ), rears r^, (or /* ) ; or if it be desired 
 to vocalize monosyllables or proper names, thus : rose Q^, 
 (or / ), rays c^ (or / ), roman ^ (or /\. ). 
 
 Quadrants : Initial vowels may be reversed in position 
 before quadrants, thus : rest *S (or ^ ), reward f , 
 require _J 
 
 For words ending in " ier '' the " r " may be written thus : 
 barrier ]/ , carrier //, furrier v/ ; and in the combina- 
 tion "shr" the "r"may be written as shriek ^7 In some 
 cases where a vowel precedes and follows " r " it is necessary 
 
14 SLOAX-DUPLOYAN REPOKTEtt. 
 
 to write the "r" thus: aright (~ ^ arrive s\ but in the 
 great majority of cases it can he omitted, thus: erudition ^ ^ 
 (rudition, the "e" being omitted as the less important vowel ), 
 hereditary c ,_, (reditary). 
 
 FOURTH LESSON. 
 
 T.ETTERS that are silent or approximate to being silent 
 may be omitted. Examples : 
 
 T omitted after k as : fact y, 
 
 T ,, ,, n as : presently LV 
 
 T ,, p as : abrupt q 
 
 D ,, ,, n as : friendly \^> 
 
 D (final) ,, 1 as : boll <j$" 
 
 D ,, before m as : admire 
 
 D ,, ,, v as : advance ^\^ 
 
 D j, ,, f as : dreadful ^/ 
 
 D ,, ,, j as : adjoin CA 
 
 G ., ,, n as : resignation ^^, 
 
 N ,, .. m as : government Q/ 
 
 S ., ,, sh'as: digestion ~~7 
 
 T ., ,, ch as : catch ^^ 
 
 NOTE. When t and d follow each other in the same word, 
 
H.OAN-DCPLOYAN REPORTER. 15 
 
 the first of the two signs can be omitted, as : spendthrift ^/~\ 
 When one word ends and the next begins with the same sign, 
 one sign can be dropped and the two words joined, as: silk 
 cloak ^/*f The same can be done with t and d, thus : 
 short day ^3 
 
 Dra-w a short line underneath a word that is repeated, as : 
 c me, come <y, holy, holy, holy d" The following 
 repetitions can be represented by writing the " K " sign across 
 t'le worl to be repeated, thus: bit by bit /L , little by 
 little /^ , drop by drop 7"T> day by day -7^ , &c. 
 
 FIFTH LESSON. 
 
 TJS a great majority of woids begin with prefixes, a con- 
 tracted form of writing them will be found of much assistance 
 in acquiring speed for reporting :

 OX DISCRETION.

 we should see but little difference u^ 
 
 en that of a wise 
 
 man and that of a fool. There are infinite reve*. 
 
 " number- 
 less extravagances, and a succession of vanities whicu 
 
 Q 
 
 tlirough both. The great difference is, that the first knows 
 liow to pick and cull his thoughts for conversation, b.y sup- 
 pressing some and communicating others, whereas the other lets 
 rhem all indifferently fly out in words. This sort of discretion. 
 however, has no place in private conversation between intimate 
 friends. On such occasions, the wisest men often talk like the 
 weakest ; for, indeed, talking with a friend is nothing else than 
 talking aloud. Tnlly has, therefore, very justly exposed a 
 precept, delivered by some ancient writers, that a man should 
 live with his friend in such a manner that if he became his 
 enemy it should not be in his power to hurt him. The first 
 >art of this rule, which regards our behaviour towards an 
 enemy, is, indeed, very reasonable as well as prudential ; but 
 the latter part of it, which regards our behaviour towards a 
 friend, savours more of cunning than discretion, and would 
 cut a man off from the greatest pleasures of life wh'ch are, 
 the freedoms of conversation with a besom friend. Besides 
 that, when a friend is turned into an enemy, the world is just 
 enough to accuse the perfidiousness of the friend rather than 
 the indiscretion of the person who confided in him. Discretion 
 does not only show itself in words, but in all the circumstances 
 of action, and is, like the under-agent of Providence, fo guide 
 and direct us in the ordinary concerns of life.
