Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Brown's Business Correspondence and Manual of Dictation: Especially Designed for the Use of Teachers and Students of Stenography and Typewriting; Containing a Collection of Selected Business Letters; Advice to Students of Shorthand and Typewriting; Chapters on Punctuation, Spelling, and Use of Capital Letters
The Object of shorthand is to write rapidly, and the aim or the student is to become dele to write rapidly as soon as possi ble. There is no royal road to shorthand, but, as I have so often said to my classes, it is more a question of patience and perseverance than of difficulty - although I have no desire to encourage the idea that as a study it is easy. Nothing is easy that is worth knowing at all. The principal requirement in the study of shorthand is regular, systematic and faithful practice. As has been said by a well-known author: In order to write shorthand expertly, one must possess a thorough and familiar knowledge of the principles and rules of the art, which is to be attained by study, and a hand trained to accuracy and brought to a high state of discipline by a long and thorough course of practice in writing. Each of these requirements is of the high est importance, as no amount of excellence in one will make up for defects in the other. From an experience of many years in teaching, I may be able to give a few suggestions which will prove useful.
