Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Easy Introduction to Short Hand: In Which the Sounds of the English Language Are Analyzed and Expressed in a Rational Manner; Illustrated With Fifteen Plates
Desirous of acquiring the valuable and useful art of Short Hand, the author of the following Essay consulted several treatises on tie subject. Their variety perplexed him, and he knew not which to fix on. He found some general principles in which they all agreed: but some particular expedients in which they all differed. He could not but consider the former as the true and genuine materials of a better and universal system, which experience would, at some future time, bring to light: and the latter as so many incumbrances which that better system, whenever it might appear, would remove.
Till this might be produced, by some abler hand, for the public, he was determined to attempt it for himself.
