Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Manual of Phonography This work is a presentation of the system of phonetic shorthand, the elementary parts of which were originally invented by Isaac Pitman, of Bath, England, in 1837; which was modified, improved, and named "Phonography" by him, in 1840; and which, developed and perfected through the suggestions, experiments, and tests of a multitude of practical writers in England and America, reached, substantially, its present form in the later fifties. The first edition of this Manual, written by Benn Pitman (brother of the inventor of phonography) in 1855, appeared in no fewer than live distinct issues before 1860, when the work was first revised. Numerous issues followed up to 1885, in which year it was again revised in collaboration by Benn Pitman and Jerome B. Howard, by whom the present revised and improved edition is also prepared. But slight additions have been made to the materiel of the system in the course of these several revisions; neither has the plan of presentation been essentially changed, it being felt that any marked alteration of method would be accompanied by a diminution of that clearness and simplicity for which the book has been so long conspicuous among shorthand text-books, and which have made it so eminently successful for both self and class instruction. The chief advances in the present revision consist in a somewhat modified and improved order of presenting the several appendages, in the earlier introduction of logograms, with suitable exercises, and in the addition of a new and copious set of dictation exercises. It is natural, considering the astonishing spread of phonography of late years, that many variations upon the recognized system should be published and to a limited extent adopted. The authors of this work have felt, however, after careful examination and test of many hundreds of supposed improvements, that they were, for the most part, the expression of mere individual taste or caprice.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Manual of Phonography: Being a Complete Guide to the Acquisition of Pitman's Phonetic Shorthand The sound of e is represented in forty different ways.

We need not repeat that the sound of e in each of these words should be repre sented by the same letter; or that by substituting for the complex letter 6 a simple character that can be _made with one motion of the pen, seven-eights or nine-tenths of the la bor in writing would be saved. These are facts that are evi dent, after the illustrations are presented. 'and we might thus illustrate the unscientific mode of representing nearly every word in our language, with equally formidable results. But we will only state the melancholy fact, that the various sounds employed in speaking the English language are each represented in from four to forty ways, and that in the large, majority of cases two or more letters are required to do the service. It is also'true, -tha't there is no letter in the alpha bet that uniformly represents the safime' sound; thus, a has a different sound in each of the following words: ate, at, all.

Download or read book A Complete Manual of the Pitman System Pitman of Phonography written by Norman P. Heffley and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Complete Manual of the Pitman System Pitman of Phonography: Arranged in Progressive Lessons for Class and Self Instruction Since the invention of Phonography by Mr. Isaac Pitman, of Bath, England, in 1837, numerous text-books on the subject have been published, yet few, if any, are peculiarly adapted for school use as well as for self instruction. The lack of this desideratum led to the compilation of this treatise, in which all reference to the philosophy of speech and the science of phonetics is omitted. The redundant rules, the confusing arrangement of principles, and, in fact, everything which does not pertain strictly to the easy acquisition and practical application of Phonography for business and reporting purposes, 3 is either eliminated or modified. The success which has uniformly attended instruction given according to the method developed in this treatise, is, notwithstanding the abundance of other works upon the same subject, a sufficient justification for the publication of the work. The following lessons are based upon the ninth edition of Phonography by Isaac Pitman, published in England in 1852, and in this country by Benn Pitman in 1855, as well as by Andrew J. Graham in 1858. These text-books were, consequently, prepared over thirty years ago - long before either the teaching or practice of shorthand became a profession - and although there has been no material change in the fundamental principles, there has been great improvement in recent years in the manner of teaching these principles.

The questions may be asked the class either collectively or individually; the latter is generally the better way. It would be well, as often as convenient, to have the pupils illustrate their answers on the black-board.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Complete Manual of Phonography (Pitmanic) By the Sentence Method: For Use in Schools and Colleges and for Self-Instruction In the first lesson only the Consonants are presented, which are divided into three groups: First, the Straight Consonants and their employ ment in representing words of this class; then the Curved Consonants are presented and treated in the same way, and so on with all the principles; thus bringing all the entire system before the student by degrees, whereby Phonography can be learned much more readily, as has been fully demonstrated by years of experience in teaching in high schools and colleges. The shorthand sentences in this work are carefully graded, so that the student writes every outline as an expert would write it. He practices reporting from the start; he learns nothing that he will have to unlearn; Phonography, as herein presented, can be mastered in One-third less time than by any other method heretofore presented.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Text-Book of Gilbert's Phonography The aim of authors of Phonography, until recently, has been to perfect -a system which would answer all the purposes for which longhand is employed, and secure, for reporting purposes, ample speed of writing, without illegibility. The world's demand for a rapid, easy and legible mode of writing for general use has been met by the typewriting machine instead of by shorthand; and the only object which should be sought at the present time by the construction of a system of shorthand is that of securing ample brevity and legibility for reporting purposes.

In the English alphabet the sounds of Oh as in chain, Th in thin, Sh in show, and N g in sing, are not provided with distinct letters, though they are really simple sounds. The same letter often indicates different sounds, in different words, as the letter G, in the words gun, gem the use of two or more letters to indicate a sound for which a single character is pro vided, is also very frequent, as the sound of F in the word trough, triumph; and a single, simple sound is Often indicated by let ters to which entirely different values are'usuall y assigned, as in the words pleasure, azure, the letters S and Z are used to indicate a sound which has no precise representative in the language. Similar inconsistencies exist with respect to vowel sounds. In Phonetic Shorthand, however, each distinct vocal sound is provided with a distinct letter.
