PHONOGRAPHIC LITERA- TURE. — I — ■ The Christmas Number of the Phonographic Monthly, edited by Mr A. Munro-Peebles, the well-known exponent of the Pitmanic theory of shorthand writing, is one of the most artistic productions in this line we have. yet seen. More than doubled in size, its contents are printed in a variety of soft tinted inks, the ornamental embel- lishment of the pages, and the get np" generally making the number a real work of the printer's art. As regard the contents of this issue of the Monthly, they are as varied and interesting as the colours in which they are presented, and all phonographers who can appreciate the acme of shorthand lithography should get a copy of this issue, which can be obtained for fourpence from Mr Munro-Peebles, Elgin, Scotland. The Reporters' Magazine for November, which is so enterprisingly edited by Mr T. J. Hallet, of Clevedon, Somersetshire, contains a special con- tribution from the pen of Mr Bernard de Bear, the well-known Principal of Pitman's Metro- politan School of Shorthand, on the ever-green subject of The Struggle for Speed in Shorthand," the same being accompanied by a facsimile of re- porting notes taken by Mr de Bear at the high speed of 203 per minute. Other entertaining fea- tures of the number are The White Horses of Wiltshire," Samuel Johnson," The Journalistic 'Special; and "The Governing Principles of Phonography." Under the same editorship and issued from the same office is the Shorthand Gazette, the November number of which is an ex- ceptionally bright and readable one. The Reporters' Journal, edited by Mr J. Herbert Ford, whose lithographic writing was warmly praised by the late Sir Isaac Pitman, comes to hand with a wealth of entertaining contents. The articles in the Journal are characterized by their utility to phonographers generally, and all those interested in the art should enrol themselves as subscribers to this excellent monthly.
