Riassunto

Excerpt from The Complete Phonographer, and Reporter's Guide: Being an Inductive Exposition of Phonography; With Its Application to All Branches of Reporting, and Affording the Fullest Instruction to Those Who Have Not the Assistance of an Oral Teacher

The leading features of Phonography are the result of the labors of Mr. Isaac Pitman of England, who for nearly thirty years has devoted much of his time to its development and propagation, but the high degree of perfection to which it has been brought, is owing in great measure to the suggestions of thousands of practical phonographers, both in England and the United States. This mode of development has its merits and demerits. Coming as it has from the brains of such a vast number and variety of people, Phonography possesses a richness of material which could hardly have been obtained in any other way; but, on the other hand, this kind of growth has had a tendency to render the system less uniform and consistent in matters of detail than it would have been had it emanated from a single mind.

N ow, my first aim has been to restore, as far as possible, simplicity and harmony, by adhering to general principles and discarding all unnecessary expedients; and my second, to more completely adapt the system to the requirements of the reporter. Mr. Pitman, in his very laudable desire and efforts to bring the benefits of Phonography within reach of the masses of England, has seriously, and as I thin unnecessarily, impaired it as a mere system of stenography. Thi work, however, has been prepared expressly in the interest of report ing, and hence everything that would tend to hinder the learner in acquiring a knowledge of the art for that purpose, has been omitted.
