Excerpt from Short-Hand Execution: Applicable to Any System of Stenography for the Purpose of Multiplying Speed and Enhancing Legibility The value of a work is nit necessarily proportioned to the number of its pages. On the contrary, if a given amount of information is embraced in ten pages, it is more easily obtained than when distributed through one hundred. With this view, the author has labored assiduously, in the preparation of this work, to discard everything extraneous, and give, in as concise a form as possible, the essential matter, which might more easily have been extended through many pages. The important consideration with the stenographer is, with a given degree of legibility, how much speed can be realized. And any abridgment that does not conflict with that end should add rather than detract from the value of a work. Of the various expedients set forth, it is hardly to be expected that any one writer will make use of them all. But any part can be selected that the stenographer chooses to apply, as they are all separate and distinct from each other.
