HALL, 132, FLEET STREET, LONDON, E.C. The Most Useful Study to take up in 7th EDITION NOW READY, Price 2s. Id Had anyone predicted that a system of Shorhand yould he inrented so extremely simple that it could he learnt in one-fiftieth part of the time oocuviied by any other system in vogue, ninety-nine people out of a hundred would have declared it to he impossible. Nevertheless, such a ■ystem hoi,» heen invented, and it is known as “THE NEW SHORT¬ HAND.” A thorough knowledge of the easiest of the old systems will ocoapy at least a year, whereas THE NEW SHORTHAND can he EASILY LEARNT IN A WEEK by anyone of ordinary ability, with two hours’ practice per day. The reason why “ THB NEW SHORTHAND” is so simple is that it is based on an entirely different principle from all other systems, which principle is so remarkably plain and clear that the only wonder is that it has never heen thought of before. To everyone engaged in professional or mercantile pursuits, and to all public speakers, clergymen, literary workers, students, type writers, &c., a knowledge of shorthand is nowadays of the highest importance, and has heen truly said to he WELL WORTH £100, and now that it can he so readily acquired there ought not to he a single person, either man, woman, or youth, in the whole country in need of such a valuable accomplishment. THE NEWSPAPER PRESS are unanimous in their praise,and a host of other high-class joumsls, far too numerous to mention, recommend it in the most glowing terms, some of them even going so far as to prophesy that in a very short time it will entirely ECLIPSE ALL OTHER SYSTEMS and he the only one in general use. Even papers devoted to other systems (which might well have been expected to be prejudiced) cannot help recognising the merits of the New Shorthand. The Ehonographe.r, The Fhonographic Reporter, Phonographic Quarterly Review, and I’ltono- graphic Notes and Queries all give long articles respecting the new system, and speak of it in the highest possible terms; while even tha Phonetic Journal itself prints a long discussion on its merits, NO TEACHER IS REQUIRED, it being so easy that no assistance whatever is necessary in learning it. Writers of Pitman’s, Odell’s, Gurney’s, or any other of the older systems should not fail to also learn the New Shorthand. It is specially valuable to lleporters and writers for the Press, as no transcriptions are necessary, it being so simple that almost all compositors will, in a little time, he able to read it. EVERY LADY should learn it, as an invaluable aid towards securing positions where a good salary is obtainable. It is rapidly becoming fashionable for correspondence to he written in this system.
