Synopsis

Excerpt from Towndrow's Revised and Improved Text-Book of Stenography, or Complete Guide to the Art of Writing Short-Hand

Secondly. That as the motion of the pen from point to point is less rapid, because less direct, through the air than upon the paper it self, there is as much time lost by the sudden stop and taking ofi the pen, passing over the detached space. And putting it down again, as in the formation of two (and often-times of three) characters. Thus a detached particle occupies as much time in writing, as if the word were written (by characters) at full length. It has therefore appeared absolutely necessary that the vowel points, so predominant in other sys. Tems, should be entirely rejected, and another kind of substitute provided for them.
