Book synopsis

Excerpt from Stenography: Or a Brief and Simple System of Short-Hand The system of Short-Hand now offered to the public, although founded upon Taylor's, contains many modifications which will doubtless be found to render it more simple and comprehensive. Many have relinquished the study of Stenography, on account of difficulties appearing at first sight to be insurmountable, except by very close and constant application. Several of these, it is endeavoured, in the present system, to supersede, and as far as possible simplify, in order that it may be perfectly easy even to the most unlearned. The advantages of Stenography are very great. The letters being of the simplest form,, it can be written with facility; and those forms are such, that any one letter (vowels excepted) can be joined to another without raising the pen, - whatever therefore, be the length of the word, the pen should never be lifted until it is finished. (See Table of Joined Letters, Plate 2.) It is also extremely brief, inasmuch as on an average from one hundred to a hundred and twenty words may be written in a minute, and when Arbitraries and Contractions are introduced (many of which the student may compose for himself as occasion may require), a simple mark denotes a whole word, and occasionally several words, consequently a sentence is thereby very considerably shortened. Important memoranda may be made with a few dashes of a pencil, when time or place will not allow of writing in Long-hand; and for ordinary business purposes, such as copying letters for office use, - in which much time is now consumed, - and many other purposes, its value would be inestimable.
