The Shorthand Reporter, 1903: An Exposition of the Art of Phonetic Shorthand Writing, Especially Prepared for Schools and Colleges and Self-Instruction (Classic Reprint) by William E H Searcy (Paperback / softback, 2015)
Excerpt from The Shorthand Reporter, 1903: An Exposition of the Art of Phonetic Shorthand Writing, Especially Prepared for Schools and Colleges and Self-Instruction Phography was invented by Isaac Pitman, of Bath, England, in 1837. To him belongs the hor of inventing this useful and beautiful art. Shower on him your sweetest flowers, Let the air resound with hispraise. Next to Isaac Pitman the phogt aphcrs of America are indebted to Bonn Pit-man, of Cincinnati, Ohio. He came to this country in 1854, bringing with him his brother's in vention, and has devoted nearly his whole life to beautifying, improving, and perfecting it. If we examine the systems of Andrews and Boyle, Andrew .T. Graham, Elias Longly, Andrew J. Marsh, James E. Munson, Charles T. Platt, D. L. Scott-Brown, Eldcn Moran, Isaac S. Dement, and others less prominent, we will find that they all present the Isaac Pitman system of phography, with such changes and modifications as these respective authors have been pleased to make. We do t underrate the efforts they have made, for they have added valuable improvements and presented systems of great usefulness and merit.
