The Phonetic Journal, Published weekly devoted to the propagation of Phonetic Shorthand, and Phonetic Reading, Writing and Printing.

The Phonetic Journal was a weekly publication founded in Bound volume of weekly issues of The Phonetic Journal for both 1876 and 1877. Each issue is about 12 pages long in double columns, and has articles in standard spelling, some articles in phonetic spelling and some articles in shorthand. The volume is quite hefty with 1252 pages. Each issues has news of the various phonetic societies, lists of new teachers who have been certified, articles on spelling reform, and various works that have been serialized in shorthand. These works include "History of Sandford and Merton", "The Pilgrim's Progress" and "Robinson Crusoe". Two of these, "Sandford and Merton" and "Robinson Crusoe" have been rewritten in words of one syllable before being put into shorthand. "Pilgrim's Progress" is in the original words, but in shorthand. There are a number of shorter works in shorthand as well. The cover is green cloth boards with cream corners and spine. The cream areas are rather grubby. The green areas of the boards have some small white spots. The front hinge is cracked, but the binding is tight. The pages inside are clean, but there is some light foxing throughout. There is a title page for the year 1876 and another title page for the year 1877, plus an index to articles for each year.
