A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from Course in Isaac Pitman Shorthand: An Exposition of the Author's System of Phonography, Designed for Use in Business Colleges, High Schools, and for Self Instruction

1. The student must remember that when he is writing shorthand he is to write strictly according to Sound, leaving out all silent letters. In other words, the spelling in Isaac Pitman Shorthand is phonetic, the ordinary spelling being entirely disregarded, and the sounds of the words only being represented by the shorthand characters employed.
