A Shorter Course in Munson Phonography | by James E. Munson- This text-book of Phonography is, as its name implies, a course in Munson Phonography that is shorter than that presented in the author's recent and larger work, The Art of Phonography. It has been designed especially as a phonographic instruction book for schools, by the use of which teachers will be able to advance their pupils with great rapidity to a practical knowledge of Phonography, without at the same time sacrificing thoroughness.
- Gregg Speed Practice | by John Robert Gregg
- The period of transition from theory to practice in the study of shorthand is usually a trying one for both student and teacher. Many dictation books have been devised and published to meet the demand for something to bridge over this period, but nothing has yet appeared which has given anything like general satisfaction...
- The Manual of Phonography | by Benn Pitman And Jerome B. Howard
- 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 Reporter's Companion | by Benn Pitman
- These pages contain more than any one Phonographic reporter will ever be likely to need or use, but there is nothing here that will not be gladly adopted by some. A work of this nature should provide for the wants of the two distinct classes who will use it; namely, those who have good memories and little executive power, and those who have aptitude and quickness with but moderately retentive memories. The former will find it easier to become reporters by storing their memories ; the latter by exercising their fingers.
It seems to be a general rule that we possess and enjoy only when we have earned possession: the reporting style of Thonography is no exception. If the student has not mastered the contents of the Manual, he will be likely to find this book a labyrinth of difficulty ; but if he has earned the right to study the advanced style of this art, by having faithfully mastered the elementary principles, he will find this book a welcome guide in helping him from the corresponding to the reporting style ; a transition that will be a source of delight in proportion to his ability to appreciate what is philosophic, useful, and beautiful.
