Excerpt from Manual of Brachygraphy: A System of Short-Hand Writing, Founded Upon the Vowel Sounds of the English Language
In regard to the legibility of the old systems of short-hand, it is a fact that when a stenographer dies 'his notes are of no more use than so much waste paper, no man living being capable of reading them accurately, because of the vast number of arbitrary word-signs. A few abbreviations have been made in Brachygraphy, not because the outlines were too long, but because the abbreviated words were fully as legible as the full outline.
Brachygraphy, being founded upon the vowels, is as legible as long-hand, and one stenographer can easily read another's notes; and because of its legibility, it is capable of being utilized in ordinary business transactions where speed in the transaction of business is becoming a necessity. Already the large incorporated companies of the United States are growing restless and uneasy at the inadequate means of recording their business transactions. The introduction of railroads, the invention of the electric - telegraph, the telephone, and other modern discoveries, all gave an additional impetus to busines in other directions, and it is only since the introduction of these additional facilities, that the inadequacy of the present system of writing is felt. The great railroad, mercantile, and manufacturing companies of the country, complain of the hampered condition of their business, that the wheels of com merce are being clogged by the present unwieldy mode of writing, and demand that an improvement be made in this most important means of transacting business; and some have even made the attempt to unfetter themselves by urging upon all their younger employees the necessity of studying short hand.
Laborers are at work in other fields enlarging the boundaries of human knowledge, and in some departments the results are truly astonishing. Discovery after discovery has been made.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a new system of shorthand writing, called Brachygraphy, designed to be faster and more legible than existing systems. The author argues that previous systems relied heavily on arbitrary symbols and word-signs, making them difficult to learn and even harder to read. In contrast, Brachygraphy is based on the vowel sounds of the English language, creating a more logical and systematic structure that is easier to master. The author then provides a detailed analysis of the inconsistencies in the English vowel system, tracing its historical development from the Phoenician alphabet to the modern English language. This book examines how language has evolved through centuries of cultural exchange, highlighting the challenges of accurately representing sounds with written symbols. Through this exploration, the author emphasizes the importance of a consistent phonetic system for improving communication and knowledge sharing. This book offers a fresh perspective on the history of writing and proposes a groundbreaking solution to the limitations of traditional shorthand. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
