Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Syllabic Shorthand: A System of Brief Writing by Syllabic Characters, Based on the Common Alphabet, and Written According to the Sounds of Spoken Language The Author considers no apology necessary in issuing a Third Edition of Syllabic Shorthand. As noticed in the Preface to the Second Edition of the system, the First Edition of 500 copies, published in September 1883, was exhausted in six months; while the fact has now to be noted that, notwithstanding the publication of a Second Edition of 2000 copies in May 1884, a Third Edition is now called for. In compliance with the request of numerous friends and writers of the system, the Author has discarded lithographic work in favour of engraved shorthand type. More justice has thus been done to the beauty and symmetry of the system; while, owing to the clearness of the characters, the work of the Shorthand Student is rendered all the more easy. An additional advantage in this Edition is to be found in the fact that the whole system is comprehended in one, instead of being spread over several books; and the complete class-book now published is probably one of the cheapest and highly finished of any Shorthand system ever presented to the public. The Manual may be used either with or without a teacher. Should further and more extended exercises be required, they may be found in the Scottish Shorthand Journal, or be had on application to the Author.
