Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a new method of writing, Improved Longhand, which makes use of strictly phonetic characters. Intended to make writing more efficient and less time-consuming, the method takes the 22 letters of the standard alphabet and expands them to 38 distinct characters to represent each common sound of the English language. The author sees this as an evolution of existing shorthand systems, which the author claims are too difficult and impractical for widespread adoption. Improved Longhand, having a phonetic alphabet, is easily learned and can be written quickly, using scientifically-designed up-and-down strokes that connect seamlessly and do not require the lifting of the pen. The book includes 12 plates illustrating the method of Improved Longhand, contains an appendix providing a classification of letters, and concludes with a list of common proverbs written in Improved Longhand. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
