Excerpt from Technical Reporting: Comprising Phonographic Abbreviations for Words and Phrases Commonly Met With in Reporting Legal Scientific and Other Technical Subjects
Among the many hand-books published in this country for the benefit of shorthand students it is surprising that there arc none especially devoted to technical reporting. This is one of the most difficult departments of shorthand writing, and yet the student has been left almost without guidance respecting it. Special contractions without number have been provided for theological terms and phrases; political and commercial phraseology has been made the subject of suitable abbreviations; and even legal terminology, has not been overlooked. But little or no provision has been made for the more difficult technicalities of modem science which so often embarrass not only young beginners but even proficients in shorthand.
Few things arc more perplexing to a reporter or professional shorthand writer than to be called upon to take a full note of a lecture or speech or law case respecting a matter involving minute technicalities of which he has no knowledge, words and phrases which he hears perhaps for the first time, and to which he is able to attach no meaning. In a law' case, or in a popular scientific exposition, the difficulty is not so great, because the speaker knows that he is addressing persons (a jury or a portion of the general public), who arc probably not familiar with the technicalities of his art or science, and to whom, therefore, it is necessary to be very explicit.
