Synopsis
Excerpt from Phonetic Word Painting: A Method of Representing the English Language by an Alphabet Equally Well Adapted to Printing and to Writing; In Three Styles: Full Hand, Business and Reporting; Simple Scientific, Legible, Brief; Theoretically True, Practically Useful
An earnest desire to see introduced into general use a system of Phonetic Short-hand writing adapted to use in ordinary business transactions and correspondence, has led the author to the production of a radically new system of representing the English language in writing and printing.
In 1853 the author heard a story told with vowels only, which was easily understood. The question then occurred to him - do not the vowels, and not the consonants, constitute the body of speech?
