Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a primer for those new to phonography, a simplified, phonetic writing system. The author, an advocate for phonography and other significant reforms of the time, explains the history and principles of phonography, and provides guided practice for readers as they learn the system. The author presents phonography both as an end in itself, for those who wish to quickly and clearly record their thoughts and ideas, and as a pathway toward the adoption of phonotypy, a simplified printing system which the author believes could bring about greater literacy and accessibility to the written word. This book is a fascinating historical document for those interested in the evolution of written language and the history of educational reform movements, and a practical guide to learning and using phonography.
