Book Description

Excerpt from The Reporter's Assistant: Being an Exposition of the Reporting Style of Phonography The present essay is intended as a guide to those who, having mastered the corresponding style of Phonography, wish to enter upon the study of Reporting. In the preparation of it, we have kept constantly in view the class of for whom it was designed. We have assumed their ability to write the corresponding style with rapidity and correctness; selecting forms which shall be, at the same time, short and legible. It seemed useless, therefore, to clog our work with information on the points of difficulty presented by that style alone, - to make it, in any sense, a consulting dictionary of corresponding phonography. In a few cases, indeed, we have trenched upon this ground; but our general aim was simply to point out wherein the Reporting differs from a properly written Corresponding style, and to set forth its distinctive features in a few comprehensive rules, deduced from a careful analysis of Mr. Pitman's works on the subject.
