Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Oliver Dyer´s: Phonographic Report of the Proceedings of the National Free Soil Convention at Buffalo, N. Y. August 9th and 10th, 1848 All editors will be allowed, and are hereby granted permission to extract from the following Report to any extent which they may desire, provided they will give due credit for the same, and call the attention of their readers, in an express manner through their editorial columns, to the enterprise in which the subscriber is engaged, viz: the introduction into general use of the Phonographic system of writing. All editors who may conclude to accept the above offer, are respectfully requested to read the paragraph below headed "to all who wish to write with the rapidity of speech," in which they will find some important facts, on which they can base such a notice as will greatly aid the subscriber and not impoverish or incommode themselves. The subscriber´s office and publishing house are at the Phonographic Rooms, 66 South Third st., Philadelphia. Oliver Dyer. To All Who Wish To Write With The Rapidity Of Speech. "I would give five hundred dollars if I could write as fast as a public speaker usually utters his words." "I would give a Thousand Dollars, in a minute, if I could only report as well as you can." How often have these and similar remarks been addressed to us. Indeed it seems as though the most intense desire is felt by almomst the entire (intelligent) community to acquire "that much-coveted art by which the orator´s eloquence is caught in its impassioned torrent, and fixed upon paper as an image of his rich and glowing mind." People would give hundreds and thousands of dollars "If they could only report verbatim;" "if they could only write as fast as a man speaks in public." How are they to acquire this great accomplishment? That is the question. Nothing is more simple. Just enclose one, two, or three dollars, post paid, to Dyer & Webster, 66 South Third Street, Philadelphia; or to Andrews & Boyle, 22 Spruce Street, New-York; and you will receive, by return of mail the books necessary to enable you to acquire this useful art. On sending Three Dollars, post paid, to Dyer & Webster, Phonographic Rooms, 66 South Third Street, Philadelphia, you will be furnished with books and such instruction by letter, as will enable you, in a very short time, to make the most satisfactory progress in the art of verbatim reporting, and accomplishment possessing such great and obvious advantages that it cannot be necessary to enlarge upon the desirableness of its acquisition. Who would not give three dollars To Be Able To Write With The Rapidity Of Speech? Oliver Dyer. The following report does not contain all the informal speeches made during the two days of the convention. It contains only the regular addresses. There were probably fifty informal speeches made during the 8th, 9th and 10th of August. From 8 o´clock in the morning till 11 at night persons were continually talking to the assembled multitudes. These informal speeches were for the most part mere repetitions of each other, varying only in anecdotes. All the ideas advanced during the sittings of the Convention are contained in the report. Some speeches have been condensed, as they were but slightly different in thought from others that had been previously reported. We have received valuable, and indeed indispensable assistance in making out our report, from Mr. James O. Brayman, one of the most accomplished reporters with whom we have had the good fortune to meet. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
