Hardcover. Condición: Fine. A clean bright copy, blue covers with silver titles, Very minor shelfwear at the top and bottom of the spine, otherwise quite a fine copy. 164 pages indexed. Pitman Shorthand is one of the most significant and widely used shorthand systems ever developed, having been invented by Sir Isaac Pitman in 18…37 and subsequently refined and developed through a series of editions and revisions over the following century and more. The system is based on phonetic principles rather than conventional spelling, meaning that words are recorded according to how they sound rather than how they are conventionally written, which allows a trained practitioner to write at speeds far exceeding what is possible with conventional longhand writing. This phonetic foundation was a deliberate and innovative choice by Pitman that distinguished his system from earlier shorthand methods and contributed significantly to its widespread adoption and commercial success. The New Era Edition represented a significant revision and modernization of the Pitman system, refining and streamlining various elements of the notation to improve efficiency and ease of learning while maintaining compatibility with the core principles that had made the system so successful. The New Era designation indicated to users and students that this was the current and authoritative version of the system, incorporating the accumulated experience and pedagogical wisdom that had been developed through decades of teaching and practical application of Pitman Shorthand in offices, courts, and other professional settings where accurate and rapid recording of spoken language was essential. A publication dated 1948 places the Basic Course in Pitman Shorthand New Era Edition firmly within the postwar period, a time when shorthand skills were in extremely high demand across the commercial and professional world. The growth of office based employment during the mid twentieth century created an enormous market for trained shorthand writers, particularly among women entering the workforce in clerical and secretarial roles, and the ability to take accurate shorthand at speed was one of the most valued and marketable skills a office worker could possess during this era. The basic course format of the publication indicates that it was intended as an introductory text for those beginning their study of the system from scratch rather than as a reference work for experienced practitioners. A basic course in Pitman Shorthand would have introduced students systematically to the fundamental elements of the notation, beginning with the strokes representing consonant sounds, the vowel marking system, and the basic rules governing how sounds are combined and represented in the written shorthand forms. The pedagogical approach typical of Pitman shorthand textbooks of this era was methodical and cumulative, introducing new elements of the system in a carefully sequenced order that allowed students to build their knowledge progressively while practicing and reinforcing earlier material through repeated application. Each new concept would typically be illustrated with examples and followed by practice exercises designed to develop both accuracy of notation and speed of writing, with speed being the ultimate practical goal toward which all shorthand study was directed. The system itself uses a combination of strokes of varying thickness, length, and direction to represent consonant sounds, with vowels indicated by small marks placed adjacent to the consonant strokes when necessary for clarity. One of the distinctive features of the Pitman system is its use of stroke thickness as a meaningful element, with light and heavy strokes representing different consonant sounds, which required students to develop a controlled and consistent pen or pencil technique as part of their shorthand training. Pitman Shorthand textbooks and courses of this period were published and distributed by Sir Isaac Pitman and Sons, the pub.

Hardcover. Condición: Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. 1st Edition. Good in very good, protected dust jackets. Ex-library; usual stamps and markings. 4to. 11 1/4". Packed with illustrations, from photographs, sketches, diagrams, details, maps etc, full plate and within text. Generally in black and white. The definiti…ve and most comprehensive work on Southern African trees, now scarce and unlikely to be reprinted. A.A. Balkema adopted the old fashioned method of publishing and selling the three volumes separately rather than all at once as would be the practice today. Consequently a number of buyers were not able to obtain complete sets of the standard edition at the time and much annoyance was caused by this.
