Book Description

Excerpt from The Phonetic Journal, Vol. 32: Monthly Part for November, 1873 In the foregoing report I think there is abundant evidence that Phonography is in a very satisfactory state in Bolton as far as regards the number of those acquainted with the art. Yet I cannot under stand why, in a large town like Bolton, there are only eight or nine' members of the Phonetic Society. There ought to be five times as many as this at least. One reason perhaps why so few join the So ciety is that phonographic teachers do not give to the Society that pre-eminence which it undoubtedly deserves, in bringing it before the notice of their pupils. Were this pl'e-eminence given to it, and the reasonableness of the request shown, I have no doubt that there would be a far greater number enrolled in the Phonetic Society.
