Publisher's Synopsis
Eclectic Shorthand: Writing By Principles Instead Of Arbitrary Signs is a book written in 1891 by Jesse George Cross. The book presents a new method of shorthand writing that is based on principles rather than arbitrary signs. The author argues that traditional shorthand systems are often difficult to learn and use, and that they rely on memorizing a large number of symbols without understanding the underlying principles. In contrast, the Eclectic Shorthand system is designed to be easy to learn and use, and is based on a set of principles that can be applied to any language. The book includes detailed explanations of the principles of the system, as well as exercises and examples to help readers practice their shorthand writing skills. Overall, Eclectic Shorthand is an innovative and practical guide to a new method of shorthand writing that is designed to be accessible to anyone.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
