TO MONSIE Uli L'ABIiE EMILE mVLOYt, FOUNDEB ANJJ PRKSIDENT OF L'INSTiTUT SFENOGRAPHIQUE DBS DEUX-MONDES, PARIS. Dear Sir, In giving myself the pleasure to dedicate, as I now do, this work to you, I feel that I but render to Caesar the things that are Cajsar's. "Phonography made easy" is your own excellent method m a new garb for the benefit of English stu- dents. It IS not to be expected that the pupil shall equal his master ; who then can blame me if this ma- nud be not up to the level of your great and original work. ^ I avail myself of this opportunity to pay a tribute of esteem and regard to the enlightened Inventor of the iniproved method of Stenography, who, by his know- ledge of the subject, by the number of works which he has composed, and by the still greater number he has published, has done so much to popularize this useful art. Hoping that this work may meet that approval from you which is so necessary to its success, I remain, Dear Sir, Vours sincerely, J. A. Manseau. NO nitTHOOBAPHY ! -•!■ 1 PREFACE. The marked favor with which Mr. Diiployd's sys- tem of Phonography has been received in the various countries of Europe, having already been translated mto German, Italian, Spanish, Flemish, etc., induces the translator to adapt it to the English language. The distinguishing features of this excellent sys- tem are, its simplicity and the limited time which is required to obtain a thorough knowledge of its prin- ciples and practice, together with the case with which these principles are retained in the mind of the stu- dent. The existing systems of Pitman, Graham, Mun- son, etc., while elaborate and scientific in their structure, require too long a time to enable the stu- ' dent to master their principles ; besides the con- stant practice which is necessary before the student can obtain any practical results ; for this reason the introduction into general use of any of those sys- tems has been found impracticable and they are therefore fitted only for the professional reporte- who has time to devote to lengthened study and constant practice. There are other classes, other than that of profes- sional .reporters, for whom a knowledge of Short- hand is necessary, I allude to Judges, Divines, Le- ' gislators, Physicians, Lawyers, Bankers, Mcrchlms, I Students, etc, who have not sufficient time at their woT^ri ? T^^ '^''' "'"^"'■''^'^ ^"d complicated work , but who nevertheless could devote sufficient ume to study t/ie system which I now place before the public, and thereby acquire a proficiency suffi- cient for all practical purposes. The experience of the class room has already proved the superior advantages of Mr. Duploy^'s system above all others, and has demonstrated' its adaptibihty for general use, not alone for reporters while '''^° ''''^"'"'" "" "''^''^ ^''^^''^ of writing \ "PHONOGRAPHY MADE EASY" is sufficient for the purposes for which the translator intends- it, at the same time, it will serve as an intro- duction to "STENOGRAPHY MADE EASY" which it is the intention of the translator soon to publish and which will be found to be especially adapted for the use of those who intend to make short-hand writing or Stenography their business or profession, while " Phonography made easy " will serve for all practical purposes of the non-profes- sional reporter. It may be unnecessary on the part of the translator to mention that this system enables the English stu- dent to write and read French Phc^nography. «,«r/j/ as well as English, besides the facility it affi)rds to become familiar with the sounds of the various European languages. Momea/, January 1878. J. A. M.VNSKAU. i PHONOGI[APHY M/DE E/SY THE THREE PRINCIPLES FIRST PRINCIPLE. Phonography writes merely sound as represented by spoken language^ and not orthography wliich is represented by written language. All letters useless for pronunciation are then dis- carded : *' Onejetterfor every sound, and one sound f^L^'J^.^jyl^^iriZS^'^^^ fii-st axiom and the basis of phonography. Then, as will be seen further, c, q and ;f had to leave, h^xag superfluous and redundant. This suppression of useless signs has permitted Mr. Duployd to define Phonography : The photogra- phy of speech, which definition is perfect and perhaps the most profound ever given for any word by any man. SECOND PRINCIPLE. Avoid angles when possible. This is one of the characteristic traits of Mr. Du- ployd's system. It is put into execution by inserting in every monogram, the vowels as they occur. Those two new ideas account for the wonderful case and surprising rapidity of Duployd's Stenography. I- I lO PHONOGRAPHY MADK EASY. THIRD PRINCIPLE. ^)^l '•f^iii£4J£lUintil_tbej^^^ written. The above three principles are the FIRE : HEAT ! and LIGHT : of " Phonography made easy."

The foregoing remarks clearly show two things, which may be called the two great inconsistencies of the Roman alphabet : I" The same letter is represented by different sounds, then : " TOO MANY SOUNDS FOR A SIGN." 2" The same sound is represented by different let- ters, then : ''' • -O MANY SIGNS FOR A SOUND." It is .1 ft vli known fact that the Roman alpha- bet is at the same time redundant and defective. REDUNDANT : inasmuch as some letters provide for sounds already provided for. Ex: sounds ke and sometimes se, Q, always sounds ke. X sounds either kse, gze or ze. I and Y represents the same sound. DEFECTIVE : as there are fourteen sounds to be represented by six characters, two of which, i and j, as seen above, stand for the same sound ! r.-om such whimsical premises what can be logi- cally deducted but inconsequence and irrationality ! The following exemplifies the above and is at the same time a rhuine of what has been said in detail in the " Remarks on the Vowels," p. 15 et seq. PHONOGRAPHY MADE FASY. TOO MANY SOUNDS FOR A SIGN.

But this reduplication IS more apparent than real, for the latter is extremely rare. It occurs, according to Munson, only in compound and derived words, where the original root either begins with the same consonant-sound as the final one of the prefix, or ends with the same that commences the suffix, as : k in book-case. m in immortal, immaterial. n in unnatural, unnecessary. In such cases, a small tick or dash drawn across does away with this very rare difficulty. Then as a rule double consonants are not expressed. Ex ebb. add.

If, however, phonographic signs are used instead, care should be taken to write the phonograph exactly corresponding to the letter, totally disregarding the sound of the Initial. The common, and not the phonographic, initial must be indicated. In short, write for the eye and not for the ear. <;oNsoNAi>rT initials. Anthony and Augustine will be both written with o, though the beginning of these names sounds, the first like an [ 'r ], and the second like 0[O].
