A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In offering this revised and enlarged SECOND EDITION the author hopes that it may meet a continuance of the same favor with which its predecessor has been received. This volume occupies a gap hitherto practically unfilled in commercial and higher stenography. It answers a felt human want as well as a commercial demand. After an exhaustive investigation the author finds that this is the first book of its character ever offered to shorthand students, teachers, business colleges, civil service schools, educational institutions, stenographers, and court reporters. This work is not constructed to cover cultural studies, but confines itself strictly to commercial and professional pursuits, and to City, County, State, and Federal stenographic examinations. The purpose of the compilation is to furnish workable and dependable vocabularies for the use of stenographers. The publication covers about 190 different types of business. The text contains approximately 90,000 words. From a large proportion of these, by the use of prefixes, suffixes, and other abbreviating devices of shorthand, many derivatives may be formed, thus increasing the vocabulary material here offered to at least 275,000 words. The common or standard dictation books to be found in book stores and business colleges do not furnish the student or stenographer adequate technical vocabulary material in any single line of business. The limitations of such books are self-evident, and their nomenclatures are surprisingly meager. For instance, take one of the most popular dictation books on the market which is published in 15 different systems of shorthand. The manual in question attempts to cover 26 different types of business; but unavoidably these are covered in a very superficial way only, in so far as furnishing actual working knowledge of words to students and stenographers is concerned.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
