J. J. Goodwin

Josiah John Goodwin (20 September 1870 – 2 June 1898) was a British stenographer and a disciple of Indian philosopher Swami Vivekananda.Goodwin is known for recording Vivekananda's speeches, and it is thought that without his efforts most of Vivekananda's works would have been lost.

During his lecture tour in the United States, Vivekananda's disciples could not find a stenographer who could keep pace with his rapid speech.

Therefore, his friends and admirers engaged a very expensive court-reporter, J.J.Goodwin.
