Excerpt from The Reporter's Manual: And Vocabulary
1. The present work consists of the following divisions:
1st. An Exposition of the principles of abbreviation, employed in Phonographic Reporting, and practical hints to aid the student in the acquirement of Verbatim Writing.
2nd. A Vocabulary of Reporting Grammalogues, Contracted Words, Phraseograms, Words of Common Occurrence, or Difficult Formation, and Words that may be written in two or more ways, (one only of which is admissible, ) alphabetically arranged.
3rd. A Series of Progressive Exercises, wherein the Phonographer is gradually led from the simplest to the most abbreviated style of Phonographic Reporting.
2. The advantages secured by an alphabetical list of the materiel employed in Phonographic Reporting, are so apparent, that it is surprising such an arrangement has not been previously adopted. The Vocabulary contains all that is to be found in Mr. Isaac Pitman's Reporter's Companion, together with a variety of Phraseography, Abbreviations, etc., which have been used and satisfactorily tested by the ablest Phonographic Reporters, but which have not heretofore found their way into any printed list.
3. When the student of Phonography has mastered the elementary style, and is filled with ardor to gain that ease and dashing freedom which must be acquired, ere the fluent speaker can be chased with success, he finds each successive step attended with embarrassment and toil. He attempts to write from dictation, but, probably, for every alternate word he has to search the Reporter's Companion for the best and briefest mode of writing it.
