Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Reporter: Or Phonography Adapted to Verbatim Reporting 1. In the consideration of the great, the national, and altogether unexpected advantages of a Reformed Orthography, which the practice of Phonetic Writing in the short-hand character is steadily bringing about, and the universal blessings that will necessarily follow, in the ultimate adoption of the phonetic principle for representing all languages, we are apt to overlook the lesser personal good of a practical acquaintance with the stenographic art to individuals in all situations of life, but more particularly to literary men. This subject has, however, been a favorite theme with many writers, who, by using the "winged words" of stenography, either in reporting for the press, or in their ordinary writing, for a course of years, have thereby attained a mental elevation far beyond what would have been possible under any other circumstances. The names of Edmund Burke, Sergt. Talfourd, Charles Dickens, and a numerous array less known to fame, may be fairly considered as being indebted to their engagements with the periodical press as reporters, in early life, for no inconsiderable portion of their distinction in the literary world. 2. For the following eloquent enumeration of some of the advantages arising from the practice of the art, even when based upon the imperfect a, b, c alphabet, we are indebted to the pen of Mr. Gawtress, the publisher of an improved edition of "Byrom´s" system: - "Short-hand is capable of imparting so many advantages to persons in to almost every situation of life, and is of such extensive utility to society, that it is justly a matter of surprise that it has not attracted a greater share of attention, and been more generally practised. With a view to excite a livelier interest in its progress, and to induce those who have leisure to engage with ardour in the study of it, we shall point out a few of the benefits resulting from it. "In England, at least, this art may be considered a National Blessing, and thousands who look with the utmost indifference upon it, are daily reaping the fruits of its cultivation. It is scarcely necessary to mention how indispensable it is in taking minutes of public proceedings. If all the feelings of a patriot glow in our bosoms on a perusal of those eloquent speeches which are delivered in the Senate, or in those public assemblies where the people are frequently convened to exercise the birthright of Britons - we owe it to short-hand.
