Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Boyd's Syllabic Shorthand Text Book: A System of Shorthand in Which Characters Represent Syllables, Thereby Greatly Simplifying the Science; This System Can Be Learned in One Fourth of the Time Required for Other Systems
It is not difficult to tell what many words are if they are abbreviated by using the first syllable. In the Syllabic System, therefore, it is possible to secure a maximum of brevity by simply writing the sign for the first syllable of many words, and still not confuse the writer. This combines brevity with clearness and makes speed - which, after all, is the most important thing - easily attainable.
