DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from A History of Shorthand The art of Phonography may be easily acquired. Experience has shown that its principles are mastered by most learners in a very short space of time, and that an hour's daily practice in reading and writing, for two or three months, will ensure toler able facility ih using it. The student is particularly cautioned against attempting to write with rapidity at the outset. When his hand has become accustomed to trace the simple geometric forms of the phonographic characters with correctness and ele gance, he will find no difficulty in writing them quickly but if he lets his anxiety to write fast overcome his resolution to write well, he will not only be longer in attaining real swiftness, but will always have to lament the illegibility of his writing.
