"Mr. Lowes has long been considered, and justly so, one of the best shorthand writers in the country; and has often been urged to place in the hands of the public the system which he practises, and which he has, by years of careful study, brought to a state of perfection. The system is noteworthy for its simplicity: and that it can be efficiently practised is proved by the successful career which Mr. Lowes has had as a reporter."Newcastle Daily Journal.

In those latter days of shallow rhymers it is pleasant to come across some one to whom poetry is a passion, not a profession.”—Pa'l Mall Gazette.
