English Shorthand Dictation |
The system of shorthand writing was invented by Sir Isaac
Pitman, who in 1837 published his first treatise on the art. In 1840 the second
edition of his work appeared, under the title ‘phonography’ or writing by sound
being also a New and natural system of shorthand. In the numerous editions of
phonography published in succeeding years, many improvements were introduced.
These were the fruit of long and varied stenographic experiments, and of the
valuable criticism and experience of large number of expert writers of the
system who had applied it to work of every description. No other system of
shorthand designed for the English language has been subjected to tests so
prolonged, so diverse, and system is now generally styled has undergone since
its introduction, with the result that it has been most successfully adapted to
the practical requirements of all classes of shorthand writers.
Although
students, as a rule, experience no difficulty in understanding the method here
set fourth of ‘writing by sound, it is desirable that they should have at the
beginning or their study, an intelligent grasp of all that is conveyed by that
term. The advantage of practical ability in the art of shorthand writing is so
universally acknowledged in the present day that it is unnecessary to emphasize
it. It is obvious, however, that the value of shorthand, whether as a vehicle
for private communication or for use in various ways in business for
professional life, would be largely diminished if the same system-and that the
best were not employed. This important fact is now generally recognized; and
statistics, the testimony of public men, and general observation, concur in
demonstrating that the system which Sir Isaac Pitman invented is taught and
used as the shorthand par excellence for all who speak the English language. Further
and very significant evidence to the merits of his system is the fact that it
has been adapted to no fewer than twenty foreign languages.
