Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abbreviated Longhand: A Manual of Short Forms for Longhand Writers, Placing Within Their Reach an Ultimate Efficiency Equalling That Commonly Sought Thru Shorthand in Its Popular Use The Expedients of Abbreviated Longhand and Their Aptness for Non-expert Use. The abbreviating forms given herein consist in the main of the Initial Vowel Tick, the Strokes used for certain con sonantal endings, Special Contractions for frequently recur ring prefixes and suffixes, the Capitalizing Principle for add ing k and g to preceding letters, the Lengthening Principle for denoting the same consonant repeated, an optional use of the stem so elemental as not to interfere with the domi nancy of the script letters, yet utilizing, within practical lim its, the great advantages of this simple character, simply used, in point of brevity, and a general exposition of the terminal modifications employed in shorthand, consisting of the hook, the circle and the loop. All the foregoing expedients lend themselves most naturally, with a few exceptions noted in their proper order, to use in combination with the script letters as a basis, on the same general plan by which in short hand its adjuncts are combined with the stem letters as a basis.
