Excerpt from Scott-Browne's Text-Book of Phonography, Vol. 1: A New Presentation of the Principles of the Art, as Practiced by Nine-Tenths of the Members of the Profession in America, And the Only Work Embodying the Improvements Made in the Last Ten Years, For Schools, Colleges and Private Instruction This work, presenting what is known as the American Standard system of Phonography, contains the improvements made by the profession during the past twenty five years' practice, down to date. It has become the leading text-book of phonography in the schools thruout the country where shorthand is taught, and, especially, in the Chain of Phonographic Colleges established by the author in the United States and elsewhere. The chief improvements of this edition are: Better pracuse exercises on the upward and downward L and R, with simplified directions for understanding the application of these principles. Exercises in other parts of the work have been improved to make more positive and clear the application of such principles as might be employed in different ways, but which would be better used in one uniform manner, thus avoiding confusion in their application. The various lists of abbreviations have been supplied with practise exercises which aid to their easy mastery. Some writing exercises have been made over, supplying words better suited to clearly illustrate principles. The Sen principle, which by accident was omitted from the last three editions, has been added. Also directions for the formation of imperfect hooks or offsets, which have been difficult for the student to understand and which are now made clear. The affix signs have been better arranged. A list of about one hundred and fifty abbreviations added and general directions given for further study. Typographical and other discrepancies have been removed. The book has been thoroly criticized by the author and teachers in general during its past four years' use, and being revised now for the third time, it is believed to be the best instruction book on shorthand writing. It has cost the author fifteen years' labor to bring the art to its present state of perfection and to present it in the most practicable manner, affording a book that will meet and remove the difficulties experienced by students. The work presents but one style of writing equally suited to all uses required either by the amanuensis or verbatim reporter, and is in every respect the system receiving the highest acknowledgements of the profession and of teachers.
