Excerpt from A Handbook of Phonography, Or, a New and Improved Method of Writing Words According to Their Sounds: Being a Complete System of Phonic Shorthand, Adapted for Correspondence, Verbatim Reporting, &C
Since the above was written, the correctness of the Opinion held by many of the best phonographers in the country respecting the utter worthlessness of this scale has been confirmed. After advocating the superiority of this scale in the Phonetic Journal from July, 1861, to May, 1862, Mr. Pitman suddenly abandoned it as worse than useless. Being in fact calculated to inflict an injury on the system.to be objectionable, both by teacher and learner. Being of opinion that a new system could be developed, free, in a great measure, from the defects referred to, and feeling a deep interest in the advancement of the phono-stenographic Art, the author of this. Handbook resolved to attempt the construction of a new system, and he is happy to say with a result which is considered highly satisfactory by parties who have been very good writers. And teachers of Mr. Pitman's shorthand, but who now use this in preference.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the history and use of shorthand through the ages. From the complicated and indecipherable methods of the Romans to the shorthand of today, the author highlights how it has been used to capture speeches, sermons, and even the proceedings of public assemblies. They describe innovations made throughout history, from systems using symbols and hieroglyphics to phonetic systems, which use the sounds of speech to represent words, and illustrate how these advances have made the practice faster and more efficient. For anyone who wants to explore this fascinating and practical skill, the author provides thorough guidelines and exercises to learn their system and become proficient in the art of shorthand. The system they present is especially notable for its phonetic accuracy and the use of simple and scientific principles that govern the arrangement of the characters which compose the system.
