Book excerpt: Excerpt from Simplified Phonetic Shorthand: An American Exposition of the Isaac Pitman Phonography These Lessons are in complete accord with the latest Isaac Pitman Phonography and all the well-edited Pitman shorthand magazines. The simplest and most frequently-used principles are presented and applied first; the more difficult come later. No duplicate letters, or letters written upward and downward, are used until easy matter can be written with facility. No form once learned requires to be changed. The words practiced in the Theory Lessons are written in the same way when reporting. Position is taught from the first; but all words that are not con tractions are vocalized, in every Lesson, in order to facilitate progress. All contractions, not in conflict with principles learned, are used as soon as each principle has been explained and the Exercises practiced. Each Lesson occupies only one page, and no principle, except the halving, requires for its elucidation more than one Lesson. The first thirty Lessons, of one page each, clearly explain and fully illustrate, all the principles of Isaac Pitman's shorthand. The next forty Lessons contain Correspondence Speed Practice, with full instructions how to become successful amanuenses. The last thirty Lessons prepare for verbatim reporting, and furnish sufficient practice to enable students to become very fast writers. The Amanuenses' Speed Practice has never before been printed. It is the result of thirty years' teaching of the Isaac Pitman system. The Reporting Lessons and Instructions are the result of knowledge acquired through years of actual reporting work by a successful teacher. American teachers, with these Lessons, will produce faster and more accurate writers than was possible before in the same time. Quality, not quantity; simplicity, not complexity; business require ments, not philosophical dissertations, have been the great aim. The Pitman text-books are printed from engraved characters which no writer can conform to. These Lessons are reproduced from script executed by the senior shorthand instructor of the New York Business College, and are easily imitated by the student.
