Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Factors of Shorthand Speed; Or, How to Become a Stenographic Expert: A Book of Practical Aids and Suggestions to the Student, the Teacher, and the Young Reporter
The Factors of Shorthand Speed has long been regarded as a shorthand classic. Since its author died, the book has been in great demand, and copies of it have been at a premium. We consider ourselves fortunate in having been able to purchase the copyright from the heirs of Mr. Brown, thereby being enabled to place this help ful and inspiring book in the hands of students and writers of shorthand.
While much of the advice contained in The Factors of Shorthand Speed applies to the peculiarities of the style of shorthand most in vogue at the time Mr. Brown acquired the art, and, in fact, up to the time the book was first published, there are enough helpful suggestions of a general nature to well repay perusal by writers of any system. Not a line in the original book has been changed, and the only addition is in the form of occasional footnotes containing comments of an explanatory nature.
