Excerpt from The Grand Master: Being Some Extracts From the Short-Hand Correspondence of Robert Cabbel Roffe, With His Much Valued Friend Thomas Molineux, of Macclesfield
There is a pleasure in Letters, which books cannot supply, and there is a still greater pleasure, a charm, in conversation, which even letters cannot entirely supply. But short-hand letters, Iwill maintain, until my dying day, Sir, make the nearest possible approach to conver sation, as it enables us to write with greater ease and fluency, than is usually effected in long - hand. Now in the frankness of epistolary correspondence it has been justly remarked, consists its principal charm. A book of instruction, for instance, is read like a Sermon.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This epistolary conversation is between two master-level short-hand writers. The primary focus is Byrom's system of short-hand. The two men, Thomas Molineux and Robert Cabbell Roffe, developed techniques that would make Byromâs system more efficient and legible. Through their letters, they share their variations on Byromâs system, and playfully critique each otherâs techniques. Their ultimate goal is to create the most effective and teachable short-hand system in the world. The letters are a treasure trove of information about the development of short-hand, and provide a glimpse into the minds of two of the systemâs most dedicated and influential practitioners.
