This new system has already found its way into all parts of the country. Its amazing simplicity and practicability, everywhere conceded, are applauded most enthusiastically by those who have spent years in a fruitless endeavor to master the intricacies of Phonography. We have room for only a few extracts from among the thousands of commendations that have been sent us.

From the Hon. Horace Mann. "If I understand you, you have phonografied Phonography, and therefore have reached the very thing which I had in my mind when I wrote upon it many years ago."

From A. Royce Esq., of Cleveland, Ohio. "Your plain literary style (of short-hand) is one of the great things of the age. The more I use it, the better I like it."

From A. T. E. Clark, Esq. "The fact that I have adopted your system after having reduced several other systems to practice, in seeking for the best, speaks as much as I can express in any other way."

From L. M. Guernsey, Ed. True Citizen. "We say without hesitation that the system of Prof. Lindsley is the only practicable one we have met for the ordinary scholar, who cannot devote the best part of life to the study of rapid writing."

From Rev. Wm. Pittenger, author of The Great Railroad Adventure. "I have high hopes for Tachygraphy. I find it to be of more and more use to me, and this makes me believe that it will be of use to others. I now write it with an ease that I do not think I could ever have attained in Phonography, although I have not studied it one tenth as much. We only need time and enterprise to make Tachygraphy the common writing of the land."

From Rev. A. C. Row, Chaplain and A. A. D. C, Third Div. Fifth Corps. "I am much pleased with the system. I found it of the greatest value on the last marches of our corps, where 1 had to take many notes, and do much writing on horseback, while in motion. I could write legibly in Tachy-graphic characters; my long-hand I could scarcely read when cold. On the late moves I have been constantly topographing the country as we pal and have found the art worth more than the labor it cost to master it already." [This was written with only a few weeks' practice of the art, and shown how soon it will repay a man of activity for the labor of acquiring it.]
