Overview

Excerpt from Illustrative Shorthand In this work, illustrative shorthand, the one great object kept steadily in view has been to make it thoroughly practical, as well as to shorten the time required to master it to a three months' course, and in this time to become so familiar with the principles as to be able to build therefrom any word spoken in the English language, thereby making the student an independent writer. Shorthand alone is illustrated, and to this end the first depart ure from all other methods has been 'to discard entirely the vocal chart, as it is called, or vocalization as formerly taught, which constituted the principal part of the work for the first five months. Then, in order to write at a speed exceeding eighty words a minute, this vocalization has to be dropped and the habit formed of strik ing the dot and dash to be overcome, which I can assure you, from my own personal experience, is no easy task.
