Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Expeditious Method of Writing in Common Characters, Whereby the Business of the Desk May Be Shortened About One-Half: Useful to All Descriptions of Penmen, Particularly to Reporters, Correspondents, Copyists, and Such Literati as May Not Have the Advantage of Knowing the Art of Stenography
Having devoted several years to the study of Stenogra phy, it has occurred to me that several of the Principles of that Art are not essentially connected with the short-hand Cipher; but that they are applicable to a species of writing couched in Common Characters, which, although its traces may be more than five times as lengthy as short-hand, will only occupy about half the space or time of ordinary writing, and, moreover, is comparatively of easy attainment.
