JAMES ¥. STONE WITH A PORTEAIT, BY A FRIEND. With an appendix explanatory of TNE PECUr.lARlTIES OF Stanbarb JJIioitograpljt}. BY ANDREW J. GRAHAM. NEW YORK: ANDREW J. GRAHAM, PHONETIC DEPOT. 1857. Price 25 Cents. PUBLISHER'S NOTICE. Toe use of Standard Phonography i a reporting near 12,003 pages during the past year (1856) enables us to assure the phonographic pub- lic that Standard Phonography is really a great improvement upon the Old, or English, Phonography. Of course, all its advantages do no'' appear in the following Biographical Sketch. Important, however, as its advantages are, we would have been unwilling to disturb the har- mony of the phonographic world by publishing a system which the majority of the phonographers would be glad to use and which has served us so well, had not the Messrs. Pitman themselves commenced the work of experiment and change. Mr. Bonn Pitman, within eigh- teen months, has introduced an /-hook (which, however, is not distiiict from thesAn-hook! and whose use must bo very limited), and other- wise departed from the principles of phonography as explained in the 9th edition of Isaac Pitman's Manual of Phonography. During the past year, Mr. I-aac Pitman has also been engaged in proposing various changes in Phonography ; and when his experiments will be completed no one can tell. No longer ago than 1852, he finished a series of experiments and changes in Phonography. While some of the changes were improvements, so far as the corresponding style was concerned, and rendered the expression of certain words easier than by the previous (8th) edition of Phonography, yet, on the whole, they were a great step backward in respect of reporting. But whatever those changes were, it was proposed that they should be the last. But about fourteen months ago Mr. Pitman re-opened the question of the improvement of phonography. "We then concluded to postpone for a year tlie publication of a Manual of Phonography, which was nearly x-eady to put into the hands of the printer — having good cause to fear that the work might be rendered obsolete by the time it could be put on sale. A year having passed and the experiments still going forward, we have concluded to bring out that system, which is not an untried one, but one that our phonographic experience (unequaled by Uiat of either of the Messrs. Pitman) has convinced us is a great ad- vancement upon both the Corresponding and Reporting Styles of the 9th edition of English Phonography — It being fully adapted to the wants of the correspondent and reporter, aud rendering possible and easy a perfectly phonetic representation of the English language as spoken by Americans, and not compelling us to indicate pronuncia- tions which our best orthoepic authorities stamp as erroneous and vulgar. The Hand-Book of Standard Phonography is being rapidly stereotyped, and will shortly be on sale, (by February 1st, 1857.) The author, of course, believes that it will be pronounced euperior to any work preceding it. ^r fi. 0. BAKEK LAWY£R 41 -/1//y:'J.' ^IZ v/,.
