 COMPLETE LIST OF THE OFFICIAL COUKT REPORTERS 
 OF THE UNITED STATES, Showing Nearly One-Half to be 
 Writers of GBAHAM'S STANDABD PHONOGRAPHY. 
 
 An accurate list of the OFFICIAL Court Reporters of all the States having laws 
 for their appointment, has been compiled this year (1S93), at great labor and 
 expense, and conclusively settles the question as to which system is most 
 generally used by the expert reporters of this country. In addition to this list 
 there are hundreds of expert reporters who write the Graham system and do court 
 and general reporting in all the States and. Territories. A copy of the list will be 
 sent free to any address on application to us. 
 
 How is it possible to present more convincing evidence of the great superiority 
 of the Graham system, which for thirty-five years has been subjected to the 
 most thorough tests ? 
 
 The list shows that a considerable number of the writers of other systems 
 acknowledge the superiority of the Graham system, by largely incorporating it 
 with those which they had the misfortune to learn. 
 
 Total number whose systems are known, 635.

 UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIALS FROM EXPERTS. 
 
 From Hon. W. T. Harris, V. S. Commissioner of Education. 
 
 " I have carefully examined the ' Hand-Book of Standard Phonography,' and 
 do not hesitate to say, that Standard Phonography is as great an improvement 
 upon the Pitman Phonography as that was upon the old stenographies. To the 
 reporter it is indispensable. Phonographic reporting may now be said to have 
 become a SCIENCE. What was formerly anomalous, now gives place to general 
 principles ; and the materials which previously were presented in a confused, 
 chaotic way, are reduced to the order of science. 
 
 " Mr. Graham's phonography is, I think, capable of being written with at 
 least thirty per cent, more of speed than any other system." 
 
 From the Official Keporters of the Gen'l Conference of the M. E. Church. 
 
 OMAHA, NEB., May 18, 1892. 
 
 We, the undersigned, members of the Staff of Official Reporters of the 
 Quadrennial General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, esteem it a 
 great privilege to testify, that, after many years of experience in shorthand 
 writing, we find ourselves fully satisfied with Graham's Standard Phonography. 
 We have had individual experience varying from twelve to thirty-five years in 
 shorthand writing. We have had much work to do in ecclesiastical, literary, 
 scientific, legal, and other forms of reportorial work, and have found, that the 
 more closely we held to the general principles of Standard Phonography, the 
 better we succeeded in our work. 
 
 We are agreed that, to the best of our knowledge, no system of shorthand 
 equals that of Standard Phonography in its beauty, brevity, or conciseness of 
 expression, and general harmony of the principles presented.

TESTIMONIALS, OPINIONS OF THE PRESS, ETC. 
 
 From Fred Irland, Official Reporter, House of Representatives, 
 Washington, D. C. 
 
 " He [Andrew J. Graham] did for me, in my early youth, what he has done 
 for thousands of others made the daily work in which I have so long been en- 
 gaged an easy and pleasant task. I first saw a copy of his wonderful Hand-Book 
 when I was sixteen years old. I was then a writer of an inexact and unscientific 
 system of shorthand ; and probably as bigoted a partisan of the system I wrote as 
 could be found. Mr. Graham's system was not advocated by anybody so far as I 
 was concerned. It won its way to my approbation simply by what I saw in the 
 book. It seemed very easy to learn, and since then I have always found it swift 
 and certain, and, though I am an indifferent penman, the symmetry and sim- 
 plicity of the system have always made writing and reading so easy that I frankly 
 confess I cannot understand the statement that anyone finds it difficult. 
 
 " I regard Mr. Graham as one of the very great men of the intellectual world. 
 A true friend, a warm partisan, a genius in arrangement and systemization, he 
 was, during his life, the object of many envious attacks by men who little knew 
 how small they seemed as they surrounded him. The system he gave to us, 
 needing no changes from the time of its first publication, will probably be the 
 principal vehicle for the exact recording of rapid speech as long as shorthand is 
 written. In every court-room and public assemblage in the English-speaking 
 world where reporting is done, the hand of the reporter, consciously or uncon- 
 sciously, pays continual tribute to Mr. Graham's genius, because his abbreviating 
 expedients have more or less permeated the writing of every phonographer, and, 
 I believe, this will be so more and more. 
 'WASHINGTON, D. C., June 7th, 1894." 
 
 From Prof. T. J. Ellinwood, Official Reporter of Henry Ward Beecher's 
 Discourses for 3O Years. 
 
 " I had frequent opportunities for observing the ease and accuracy with which 
 he [Andrew J. Graham] performed feats of reporting that were impossible to the 
 ordinary stenographer ; and so convinced was I of the many advantages afforded 
 by his method that I adopted it ; and ever since I have felt greatly indebted to 
 him for his numerous valuable devices, which have enabled me, as a shorthand 
 writer and teacher, to do my wofk with far greater facility and satisfaction than 
 I could otherwise have done it." 
 
 From Prof. E. H. Magill, for 23 Tears President of Swarthmore College, 
 Swarthmore, Pa. 
 
 " Among the many men who have attempted the introduction and general 
 diffusion of a knowledge of shorthand writing in the past two hundred years, I 
 believe that not one has don: more valuable work, and work likely to have a 
 permanent value, than Andrew J. Graham. I studied the Pitman system when 
 it was first introduced into this country by the works and the lectures of Andrews 
 and Boylo. Since then I have followed the movements of Benn Pitman and 
 others, even including some attention to the so-called ' Takygraphy,' and I have 
 never found anything equal to the Graham system. I have a copy of Graham's 
 ' Standard-Phonographic Dictionary ' a most careful, painstaking, and elaborate 
 work of 1,053 pages and have had this book bound in three volumes for notes 
 and references, and it has long been with me a standard reference on all points 
 as to doubtful forms for words and phrases. I find the arrangement of it simply 
 admirable in all respects. I tell all my friends that life is too short to give the 
 time to the study of more than one system of shorthand, and I advise all to make 
 that one the system devised by Andrew J. Graham. His patient perseverence, 
 and most conscientious thoroughness and painstaking, are manifest in every 
 work that he has ever produced. That is what is sure to give to his labors a per- 
 manent value. 
 
 " It is scarcely necessary to add that I have used no other text-books in teach- 
 ing phonography for many years, both in Swarthmore College and elsewhere, 
 , than those of Andrew J. Graham. 
 
 " SWABTHMORE, PA., 6th Mo., 6th, 1894." 
 
 From lucien Knight, Official Court Reporter, Kansas City, Mo. 
 
 " I have always been an ardent believer in Graham's Shorthand, and after 
 some considerable examination of other systems, it seems to me that it stands 
 preeminent in the shorthand field. As for the so-called ' improvements ' on that 
 system, they seem to me attempts to gild refined gold, to paint the lily.' " 
 
TESTIMONIALS, OPINIONS OF THE PRESS, ETC. 
 
 From William Anderson, Official Reporter, Court of General Sessions, 
 New York City. 
 
 "After a daily professional use of shorthand for the last twenty-five years, I 
 unhesitatingly state, that Graham's Standard Phonography is the only system by 
 which very rapid speakers can be reported verbatim. The text-books of this 
 American author are marvels of skill and industry, and give a thorough and 
 complete exposition of the science and art of Phonography in its most approved 
 form." 
 
 From Charles A. Graham, Official Court Reporter, Louisville, K.\ . 
 
 " It is right amusing to read the opinions of the two-year-old reporters, and 
 book-phonographers, who don't know the first thing in the world about actual 
 reporting, as to the "utter illegibility of Graham's." Years ago I made up my 
 inind to write entirely after Graham, and I .have a Standard-Phonographic 
 Dictionary at my house, and one lying on my office table, and use them both 
 constantly. I know that I have as much reading to do as any stenographer can 
 have, and 1 never get stuck." 
 
 From Hon. Charles A. Sumner, San Francisco, Cal. 
 
 " Standard Phonography The only system worth the attempt to learn." 
 From Morris E. Jones, Official Court Reporter, Kansas City, Mo. 
 
 " My conversion from Benn-Pitmanism was so strong and so thorough, that 1 
 became possessed of that missionary spirit which has ever actuated me in later 
 years. While I have not attempted to investigate any of the wonderful improve- 
 ments that have sprung up on every hand during the last fifteen years, and have 
 not been disposed to criticize them in the various 'organs' through whu-h they 
 have been published, I have never for one moment forgotten that it was a 
 thorough mastery of the principles of Standard Phonography, and a close 
 adherence to them in practice, that placed me, early in my career as a reporter, 
 beyond the necessity of seeking improvements and a constant change for some- 
 thing better. Whatever reputation 1 have in the line of my profession and skill, 
 I owe to Graham's shortest shorthand, and I have therefore, at all times, when- 
 ever opportunity offered, put in a good word for it." 
 
 From Geo. Jf. Hillman, Official Court Reporter, St. Paul, Minn. 
 
 "After more than twenty years' use of Graham's Phonography, I am more 
 than ever convinced that the closer one sticks to Graham, the easier and better 
 will be his reporting of the most rapid utterance." 
 
 From Henry L.. Burnell, Official Reporter of the Pennsylvania Senate. 
 
 " Editor STUDENT'S JOURNAL, 744 Broadway, XT. Y. 
 
 " Dear Sir : I was very much interested in the conclusive exhibit of the super- 
 iority of Standard Phonography made in the August and September numbers of 
 the JOURNAL. It confirms my own observation, covering a period from 1868 to 
 date, as to the large majority among the official reporters of the United States 
 who write the Graham system. 
 
 "For my own part I can say that I began with Benir Pitman, dallied consider- 
 ably with Munson, and was introduced to Standard Phonography while at Michigan 
 University by W. J. English, Esq., and at once recognized its superior merits, 
 adopted it and have been preaching it to all who have come in my way ev>r 
 since, and my faith in it grows with every new occasion in which I am called on 
 to put it to a severe test. 
 
 " I have tried it in all the variety of work that an extensive practice in courts 
 has demanded, in sermon reporting, medical association, political and literary 
 work, and have never found it wanting. Last spring, as the reporter of the 
 Pennsylvania Senate, I enjoyed opportunities to test it on a variety of subjects 
 and with some rapid speakers commanding a broad vocabulary, but, as always, 
 it demonstrated its entire adequacy for whatever purposes reporters use short- 
 hand. 
 
 " A reporter is not always satisfied with his own performances, however perfect 
 the instrument which he uses, in the variety of physical and mental conditions 
 in which he may find himself during a long period of years devoted to hard 
 work, but he can always lean with unfaltering confidence on Standard Phonog- 
 raphy, no matter what else may fail, in his most exacting tasks." 
 
 From Henry L,. Denison, Official Court Reporter, Denver, Col. 
 
 "Tknow enough of other styles of shorthand to prefer Standard Phonography " 
 
TESTIMONIALS, OPINIONS OF THE PRESS, ETC. 
 
 From Herschel Whitaker, Official Court Reporter, Detroit, Mich. 
 
 "The publication of Graham's system of phonography marked an epoch in 
 shorthand writing. What McCormick gave to agriculture, Graham gave to short- 
 hand. McCormick made it possible by the reaper to largely increase the oppor- 
 tunity of the husbandman, and to harvest his crops with ease. Graham, by his 
 methods, enlarged the opportunity for thousands to embark in a profession which 
 had hitherto been closed to them under the older and cruder systems of report- 
 ing. He constructed a system based upon sound principles, and his text-books 
 are complete essays upon the subject of which they treat. Unlike the authors of 
 other systems of stenography, he withheld his work from the public until he had 
 developed a complete system. When he finally presented his work it was com- 
 plete and needed no further improvement. The principles upon which his sys- 
 tem was constructed were so broad and comprehensive that they covered the 
 field and left nothing to be supplied. 
 'DETROIT, MICH., June 2, 1894." 
 
 From Andrew Devine, Official Reporter, House of Representatives, 
 Washington, D. C. 
 
 " 1 believe Standard Phonography to be the best system extant for those who 
 have the natural qiialifications required for first-class reporting. 
 
 " As to the alleged difficulty of reading Standard Phonography compared with 
 other systems, I can only say, that I believe I have had as extensive and as try- 
 ing experience as any reporter of my time, in reading original notes before civil 
 courts and courts-martial, before Committees of both Houses of Congress and 
 before the House of Representatives itself, and tb,fct I have never in any instance 
 failed or felt embarrassed in doing that kind of work ; nor have I ever met any- 
 one who could read his shorthand better than I could read mine." 
 
 From B. C. Brown, Official Court Reporter, San Francisco, Cal. 
 
 " I commenced the study of shorthand in 1863, and after struggling painfully 
 with several inferior systems, from which I received more injury than benefit, I 
 was about to give up the hope of ever becoming a competent stenographer, when 
 Mr. Charles A. Sumner called my attention to Graham's works, and placed 
 Graham's Second Reader in my hands. Its harmony, simplicity, and compact- 
 ness, were a revelation to me. As rapidly as possible, I divested myself of the bad 
 phonographic habits formed by previous study, and in a short time made great 
 progress in speed. Had I studied Graham from the first, I would have reached 
 the acquired competency long before I did. As it was, my task was harder than 
 if I had never before seen a shorthand book." 
 
 OPINIONS OF THE PKESS CONCERNING THE FIEST EDITION 
 ' OF THE HAND-BOOK. 
 
 From a long review in the NEW YOKE EVENING POST. 
 
 "Mr. Graham has locg been known as an accomplished verbatim reporter, 
 and a successful teacher of Phonography, and he has manifestly bestowed a 
 large amount of labor and research in perfecting this work. He has reduced 
 the art to a complete science, perfect in all its details, having used the English 
 Phonography only as a basis for his own system." 
 
 From the. NEW YORK DALLY NEWSI. 
 
 " The present volume is an ENCYCLOPEDIA of the principles and practice of 
 this admirable system of writing Phonography. By easy steps the student is 
 conducted from the elements of Phonography to those refinements and nicetios 
 which are required for the purposes of the finished reporter. . . . The whole 
 forms an entire system of Standard Phonography." 
 
 From the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN. 
 
 " To all -who wish to attain a knowledge of the art of Phonography this book 
 will be a valuable companion, and the already proficient will find in it ruany 
 hints by which they may profit in reporting. It is, we think, a successful attempt 
 
 to SYSTEMATIZE PHONOGRAPHY, AND PLACE IT BEYOND THE CHANCE OF FUTUKH 
 
 CHANGE, so that any person acquiring it now will not have to be continually alter- 
 ing, correcting, and unlearning what he has already acquired."
