A COLLECTION OF ACTUAL LETTERS, ARRANGED IN GROUPS, ILLUSTRATING MODERN MERCANTILE METHODS AND FORMING MODELS FOR THE FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT. Sir Isaac Pitman (4 January 1813 ¿ 12 January 1897), an Englishman knighted in 1894, developed the most widely used system of shorthand, known now as Pitman shorthand. He first proposed this in Stenographic Soundhand in 1837. Pitman founded a company called Sir Isaac Pitman and Sons, which became a one of the world's leading educational publishers and training businesses. The publishing division was bought by rival Pearson Plc in 1985. The training business evolved into two separate businesses: Pitman Training and JHP Training. ANTIQUE BOOKS DEN, WHERE HISTORY LIVES.

The kindly regard - we might almost say affection - which has been expressed for Sir Isaac Pitman during his illness, from writers of his system and from others interested in his work in all parts of the world, has cheered him in this period of failing strength in a way which nothing else could" - from the Annual Address to our Readers.

So much activity in the promotion of public gatherings, and such widespread discussion, can hardly fail to have important effects in still further promoting the acquirement and use of shorthand" - from the Annual Address to our Readers. Text in English & Shorthand. (Linguistics, Phonology, Pitman Shorthand).
