Excerpt from A Shorthand Dictionary: Comprising a Complete Alphabetical Arrangement of All English Words, Written Without Vowels, Adapted to All Systems of Shorthand Writing
Doubtless much of a junior's perplexity arises from indis tinct writing; but it must be admitted, that even when characters are properly formed, they are not always easily read, and for this reason thousands of business men who have acquired the ability for writing a little shorthand have had to give it up. Yet shorthand must be of great value to pro fessional and commercial men. It requires, for instance, twenty-one distinct strokes of the pen to write such a word as streams, and no less than seven for every I that is written.

Excerpt from A Shorthand Dictionary: Comprising a Complete Alphabetical Arrangement of All English Words, Written Without Vowels, Adapted to All Systems of Shorthand Writing
The design of this book is to assist inexperienced writers to read what they have written, and to make the introduction of vowels less necessary by proficient reporters. To every one, however, who writes shorthand - no matter what system - it will be found useful. In plain words, it is a Dictionary; and as its compilation has taken more than six years of close application, and the writer throughout has had a great desire for making it complete, and worthy of universal approval, he feels sure that, no matter how thoroughly practical and experienced a writer may be, it will not be undeserving of a place on his desk.
