Excerpt from The Kirografik Teecher: Adapted for Use as a Text Book in Common Schools, High Schools, Academies, and Colleges The appreciative reception extended by some of the most progressive and best informed writers of the old short-hand systems, to the first edition of the imperfect and hastily prepared small pamphlet issued under the name of the "First Fonakigraflk Teecher, " has insured its existence as an established aggressive system of writing, which aspires to supplant the cumbersome long-hand script, as well as the old imperfect systems of short-hand. In naming the new system, the author followed in the footsteps of the authors of one hundred different English Stenographic systems, who have selected a special name to designate the most prominent feature of their special system. A more extended experience and investigation of the past history of Stenography, has impressed the injustice of such practice upon the mind of the author. In truth, it would be rightly considered as utterly presumptuous, for any person who may have made additional discoveries in any of the established sciences or arts, such as Geology or Sculpture, to insist upon appropriating all the past labors of his predecessors, in building up, under a new name, already established sciences or arts. To aid openly or silently in perpetuating such injustice on the rights, labors and honors of the glorious old pioneers of English Stenography, is a thing the author can no longer aid or countenance in any manner whatever.
