The Hand Book Of Standard Or American Phonography PDF Download

Excerpt from The Hand-Book of Standard or American Phonography A Standard system of shorthand for the English language must combine the following characteristics: I. It must be capable of representing with accuracy the sounds of the English language, and of the principal languages quoted by English writers and speakers. II. It must secure considerable speed of writing, with ample legibility, so as to answer all the purposes for which longhand is employed. III. It must secure, for reporting purposes, ample speed of writing, without illegibility. IV. Order and simplicity must be observed in every department. Laying aside all exaggeration, and coming down to positive demonstration, the system of shorthand presented in this work can be shown to comply entirely with every one of these requirements, while it may be as demonstratively shown that every other system falls considerably short of them.
