Eclectic Short Hand Writing By Principles Instead Of Arbitrary Signs PDF Download

Excerpt from Eclectic Short-Hand: Writing by Principles Instead of Arbitrary Signs, for General Use and Verbatim Reporting The plates for this edition are entirely new, and are made by the phototype process. Not a line of engraving, but everything is as if fresh from the pen of the rapid writer. Written at a rapid rate, they represent such work as is of the greatest value to the learner, because they are easy and rapid, instead of labored and slowly engraved out lines. The learner will see in these sample pages of a pure, natural, easy style of reportorial short-hand precisely what he must be able to do, and the reading of these will be in effect the same as reading his own perfectly written verbatim notes. The last vestige of vertical characters is eliminated from this edition, even the vertical ticks. All the characters now are either left oblique, right oblique, or horizontal, and so similar to the movements of long-hand, to which the hand is already accustomed, that the ease with which they are written is worthy of attention. The author feels safe in character izing it a free-hand short-hand. The modifications in characters and contractions which have been made are those which have appeared in The Ex ponent during the last two years, and have been generally adopted by writers of the system.
