Overview

Excerpt from Cross's Eclectic Short-Hand: A New System, Adapted Both to General Use and to Verbatim Reporting The past fifty years have, with their bewilderment of improvements in science and art, increased the facilities for the transmission of thought, until the material means em ployed seem to be dematerialized, and thought flies with the rapidity Of its conception. In the midst of this inter esting era, this glittering succession Of triumphal advances, the art of writing alone remains unchanged. The hand of the writer plods as wearily today as it did a century ago; and thought waiting for embodiment is cramped, its beauty tarnished, its ardor cooled, its flame extinguished, and its majesty clouded. Is it not time that this pen-burden were lifted, and thought disenthralled? SO surely as all progress depends on mind, must perma nent thought be borne on the wings of the pen; and any medium which shall render its recording fluent, like speech.
