Excerpt from The Phonographic Instructor: Being an Introduction to the Corresponding Style of Phonography; With Engraved Illustrations and Key The pictorial arrangement of form: has been adopted from the Class-book of Messrs. Andrews and Boyle, while the general and detailed arrangement has been varied, in order to adapt it the better to a purely practical work like the present. They who desire to investigate the subject of Phonography more deeply are referred to this Class book, and to Mr. Pitman's Manual, (8th edition.) In conclusion, the writer would express his indebtedness to Robert Patterson, Esq., for his counsel and assistance throughout the work.
