From Rev. William Pittenger, of Cadiz Ohio, author of "Daring and Suffering, or the Great Railroad Adventure."

I had labored so long at Phonography, devoting to it during a period of seven years enough study to have mastered the learned languages, and yet without becoming a rapid writer, that I had concluded that Short-Hand was not within the reach of the common mind; yet he (Mr. Lindsley) assured me that I would find Tachygraphy easier, and I was at last induced, very reluctantly, to give it a trial. The result surpassed his promises. Before I had given it one-hundredth part the attention I had bestowed upon Phonography, I wrote it with an ease and rapidity I never could command in that other style. Since then I have used it almost constantly, and have become perfectly convinced that Lindsley has solved the great problem of rapid writing, and invented a Short-Hand that can be as easily learned and read as long-hand, and written with all desirable speed.

From George W. Clark, A. M., Professor of Latin and Greek in Mount Union College, Ohio.

I have been a teacher of Phonography for a number of years past, and have taught hundreds in my classes, but cannot report very favorably in regard to what we have accomplished. I think I do not now know more than five or six in all who use the art. I am much delighted with Tachygraphy. I am now teaching my third class, and, out of all I have taught, there are but two or three who do not write it well.

From Rev. N. P. Charlot, Rector of St. Paul's, Collamer, Ohio.

I look upon your system of Short-Hand as one of the greatest improvements of the age in which we live; not merely because it diminishes so materially the amount of labor to be performed by those who write much, but because it presents words to the mind as the medium of thought; not deformed by many useless letters, but in the simple and meaning garb of the sounds properly belonging to them.

Those wishing to learn the art should send for the Compendium of Tachygraphy. Paper, $1; boards, $1.25.

We can also furnish, in phonetic print, Magnus Maharba and the Black Dragon, an Allegory of the War. Price 50 cents. This is a really charming book. Nothing has appeared in allegory so interesting since the immortal Bunyan; and it gives a better and truer picture of the war, its causes and results, within 120 pages, than the larger and more ambitious work.

Also, The Phonetic Primer, by Rev. J. C. Zachos. Price, 50 cts. This primer indicates silent letters by Italics, and presents an easier method of teaching children or foreigners to read our wretchedly irregular orthography, than the justly-admired phonetic plan, since no transition readers are. necessary. We commend the work to teachers and parents. Address D. P. Lindsley, Brighton, Mass.
