About this title

Product Description

Excerpt from The Self-Instructor's Manual of Short-Hand: A Labor-Saving Adaptations of the Isaac Pitman Phonography This work although small is the result of long study and observation, and a careful study of its pages will lead to the acquisition of the Reporting Style of Short-hand in as short a time as is generally required to master the Corresponding Style. While in a condensed form, every principle is presented and nothing which would aid the student has been omitted. The original intention was to issue only a small pamphlet advocating and explaining a method of teaching the Reporting Style from the outset by means of writing exercises, consisting of monosyllables and short words in ordinary use, and the reduction of the usual large list of "grammalogues," first suggested and put into actual practice years ago by Dr. W. M. Carpenter, proprietor of the Bryant Stratton College, St. Louis, and a copyright was secured in 1884. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
