Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Primary Phonography: An Introduction to Isaac Pitman's System of Phonetic Shorthand; With a Series of Original Exercises in the Simple Characters of the Phonographic Alphabet, Without Contraction
Until he is able to write out any word whatever in the full, pri mary style, with all the sounds expressed, he ought not to take a step beyond. Let the elements be thoroughly mastered, and afterward the abbreviations will be learned easily enough. The pupil should be able to write in the primary style without thinking any more about the forms of the letters than he Would in longhand. He should not hesitate over a word, for in reporting, the man who hesitates is lost. And to secure the needed facility, he should be well drilled in the writing and reading of exercises in primary phonography. The need of a book that would give due prominence to this primary style is apparent. To the best of the author's knowl edge, no such book has yet been published in any of the short hand systems.
