INTRODUCTION. 
 
 EVERY person should leirn to write by this short method, because few tilings can bo 
 acquired with such lit 'it- i-xp .2-1 liture of time that will ansv. ends in 
 
 daily life; for only a few days will be required to become sufficiently a^ja uated with it 
 to enable one to m-ike notes. In a month, giving an hour each day, one may anticipate 
 a saving of time in ordinary composition. By careful attention for three months, follow- 
 ing some reader or le'turer every day, to write a hundred words in a minute, and so on, 
 until as fast as one n.m speak, which is almost six times faster than is possible to a swift 
 long-hand writer. T/iis system being based upon the Phonetic principle of writing signs 
 as representatives uf :;OUM Is, the first requirement is to realize the sounds, and then to 
 set down signs whieu shall awin suggest the same sounds. If the signs are correctly 
 written there will ba no di.ik-nlty in reading after any length of time. The consonant 
 siijns being attached to the letters or the alphabet, which may be considered as heard in 
 words to ba represented, may b:; learnt with very little trouble. The vowel-sounds 
 a. a, e, au, o, oo, i, oi. ou, and u are represented in the simplest manner possible, and 
 . those vowels not represented may ba understood to ba very weak, and so not repn 
 The consonants are either thick or thin at pleasure, the length and direction determining 
 their value. The great value of the system is to be tested by the simplicity of the 
 consonant signs. Were these not so simple many more contractions would be necessary, 
 an .1 these are seld.vn of value in reading. The exact position is not relied on for the 
 meaning; this must be determined by the vowels when neci-^iry. More care in this 
 respect must be taken, when other thin the writer is to be the reader. Except when 
 reporting a rapid speaker ia<ike f MS. ami then only such as shall be clear 
 
 from the context. For composition which you wish to read freely, do not let the 
 meaning of any word rest upon the part of the sentence occurring after it. Reporting 
 valuable speeches thj object is to write as fast as you possibly can, and so long as it can 
 bs read and transcribed for the pi-ess immediately after, in which time one could scarcely 
 forget any word which he had written, is all that is required, as within a few hours he 
 may have the thing in printed form for a penny ; but for writing speeches or sermons, 
 which one wants to read Illicitly, write correctly, and make no contractions which 
 shall depend upon anything Coining after them. There are many systems which have 
 failed for reporting purposes, because the higns hive been anything but simple, and 
 utterly failed for composition intended for public reading, by the immense succession of 
 difficulties which present themselves in the positions, thicknesses, and purposes. One 
 should contract according to his own ability to remember, for it does not follow that 
 what is of great value to one will be to another. All thtse characters can be made with a 
 pencil equally as with a pen. Wnereas it is not possible with a thick point to the pencil 
 to make a fine stroke, nor with a fine point to make a thick stroke. The punctuation is 
 the same as in long-hand. The preference has been given to those characters which are 
 horizontal or more easily formed, according as they occur more frequently, and this has 
 been partly determined by the best arranged ' cases" used by the printers of the present 
 day, which will be seen to result in an easy hind, and such as will admit of / 
 to any reasonable extent. The very power of writing depends upon the readiness with 
 which the signs arise in the mind oa the citahiug oi' the sound, and the practice of the 
 hand. 
 
 Mr. Pitman's system is the most complete ever published. Having written it ten 
 years, I can yet commend my own to ail, even those who have failed to acquire his, in the 
 hope of rendering service to clergymen, ministers, authors, public m . spond- 
 
 ing clerks, as the characters and vowel arrangements are simpler, fewer and not less 
 adequate than any other. I shall always bj glad to receive suggestions. 
 
 First read all Hmt is ;.<,.W</r. ] shall constantly prepare leadings in it as fast as 
 I find demand. St. John's Gospel will be ready in a few w-.-eks 
 
 Orders should be sent early to the Author, addressed to Croydon, or to the Publisher. 
 Standing orders may also be sen; for whatever mav ai>j>e:ir from time to time (to the 
 Author only), and either the amount or toe thiug itself to be returned immediately.

 The chapters contain in some cases fifty or sixty questions. The more vital 
 questions are unquestionably those which have received Scripture proof or 
 refutation ; but which, from want of time or patience to turn up the numerous 
 passages, are often imperfectly studied or altogether neglected. Possibly, no 
 System of Theology contains more reference to Scripture in proof of its asser- 
 tions and statements, or makes references with more positive accuracy and 
 conclusiveness than Dr. HODGE'S " OUTLINES;''

 Mr DKAK Sin, I hnve examined your scheme of Scripture Kxposition, and think it will be 
 * blessing to our fhurchea of every denomination. ' What faith the Scriptures ? ' must no* 
 more thnn ever be put and answered ; but how to answer such a question ha* hitherto been A

 proofs you have sent. It is an admirable compendium, I shall be glad to subscrii e for It, 
 and recommend the work wherever I may have any influence. *
