Synopsis

Excerpt from The Practical Stenographer: Or Short-Hand for Schools, and Self-Instruction, on an Entirely New System, Designed for Promoting the Universal Practice of the Art

Notwithstanding the great and general utility of Short-hand writing, it has hitherto been very limited in its application. This may, perhaps, be accounted for by the circumstance that the many excellent works which have been published on the sub ject - although adequate to all the wants of accomplished reporters - are yet not sufficiently simple, intelligible, and comprehensive, to interest the young, and the public generally. The following Treatise is intended to meet this deficiency, and thereby help to bring the art into more general use among all classes.

They who are educated, and competent to understand the rules will not require the further assistance of a tutor. Masters of schools may establish classes, or youths may form them among themselves, and thus mutually assist each other; and, no doubt, by a little study of the contents, that they will be found amply sufficient to give them a thorough practical knowledge of the subject; but, should any further explanations be re quired, the Author will readily give them in answer to inquiries made by letter.

Having been instructed in the late Mr. Taylor's Stenography when at school, the Author can speak, from personal experience, of the great advantage of an early practical acquaintance with the art. But a perception of the imperfections of that, and all other systems which he consulted, led to his undertaking the present work; and improvements herein have been introduced from time to time, suggested in the course of a long practice.
