Excerpt from Or an Easy and Compendious System of Short-Hand
From that time down to the present, various methods of Short-hand have appeared. Several of these have a considerable share of merit; but many systems which appear very specious upon paper, are found extremely inadequate, when attempted to be reduced to practice.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of shorthand, a skill that was once considered essential for capturing fleeting thoughts and speeches. The author, a renowned expert, offers a detailed examination of shorthandââ â¢s history, evolution, and practical application. He traces the artââ â¢s origins back to the Roman Senate, where Cicero employed shorthand writers to record proceedings, and chronicles its subsequent introduction to England in the late sixteenth century. The author meticulously compares and contrasts different shorthand systems that emerged throughout history, highlighting the strengths and limitations of each. He then presents his own refined system of shorthand, arguing that it offers the ideal balance of simplicity, speed, and legibility. Throughout the book, the author emphasizes the importance of practicality and usability, advocating for a system that can be readily adopted by individuals of all backgrounds and professions. The book provides a wealth of insights into the historical development and enduring value of shorthand, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in the history of communication and the evolution of writing.
