Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hand-Book of Stenotypy; Or, Shorthand for the Typewriter: Being a Formulated System of Abbreviated Orthography for the Use of Typewriters and Others The demand that has recently sprung up for stenog raphers and typewriters is remarkable and yet natural we are living in a fast age, and competi tion is the life of trade more than ever. The mer chant, lawyer, litterateur and student want the records of their business or pursuit quickly perfected, that more time may be available for the buying, selling, thinking, talking or studying that the special line of his occupation may call for. The employe who the more satisfactorily assists to this end will be more ap preciated, pecuniarily and otherwise. The typewriter who can operate rapidly is always in demand the operator who is also a good stenographer is in better demand. The two pursuits go together, and although but a comparatively small portion of the time of the employe is occupied at the latter, in such positions where the two arts are combined, it seems to be ex pooted that every typewriter should also be a short hand writer to a certain extent. Typewriting, com pared with stenography, is very easily learned, for obvious reasons, and there is a large percentage of good operators who, not having studied at all, or only of indifferent ability at stenography, find it difficult to procure satisfactory employment. With the view of aiding this large class this little handbook is pub lished. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
