Excerpt from New American Stenography: A System of Shorthand Writing Adapted to Self-Instruction
The only apology for this little book is the conviction that shorthand is an art that has not yet reached its full measure of development; and that, after an experience of twenty years with the more prominent systems now in vogue, it was judged better to incorporate the changes suggested into a new system of which they would be integral parts, than to try the thankless task of patching them on to the old. The new wine has a right to a new bottle.
