Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Synopsis of Standard-Phonography, Vol. 1: New and Revised Edition: Accompanied by Extended "Reading Exercises," and by the "Correspondent's List" Of Word-Signs, Contractions, Phases-Signs, Prefixes, and Affixes; Adapted to the Use of Classes and Private Students This New and Revised edition of this Manual or Class-Book consists of - 1. "The Synopsis" - presenting briefly, and progressively, and unmistakably, all the principles of the Elementary, or Corresponding, Style of Standard Phonography, the Best and General system of Shorthand writing. This part corresponds nearly to the coarse-print portion of the Corresponding-Style part of the Author's "Hand-Book of Standard Phonography," a complete text-book of the entire System. 2. "The Correspondent's List" comprising an alphabetical list of Word-Signs, Contractions, Phrase-Signs, Prefixes, and Affixes of the Corresponding Style. 3. "Reading Exercises" illustrating and applying the principles of each section of the Synopsis; concluded with several pages of connected reading matter, with an interlinear translation - which is a great advantage to the student. To adapt this work to the most extended use as a class-book, the pronouncing-style print of the text of preceding editions has been re placed by the common orthography. To insure the utmost accuracy and clearness of illustration, the exercises and lists in this work have been produced by the Author's Stereography, which seems better adapted than any other process for the production of phonographic pages. It is the wish of the Author that this volume may contribute much to the diffusion of a beautiful and highly useful Art, to the improvement and popularization of which he has devoted many and the best years of his life. Methods of Study. There are two methods of study which may by pursued by the phonographic student: One, to obtain a knowledge of the more general features of the Art, as by the study of this work or the Little Teacher (which is in pocket form, and goes over the same ground as this but more briefly); and the other, to obtain a most thorough knowledge by studying full and logically-arranged statements of the greater and minor features of the Art, and by rendering these statements familiar by much practice of ample illustrative reading and writing exercises, as by the use of the Author's "Hand-Book of Standard Phonography."
