Excerpt from The Phonographic Teacher: A Guide to a Practical Acquaintance With the Art of Phonetic Shorthand There has hitherto existed among all nations, great disparity, in point of facility and dispatch, between the usual methods of communicating thought - spealdng and writing: the former has always been comparatively rapid, easy, and delightful; the latter tedious, cumbrous, and wearisome. It is most strange that we who excel our progenitors so far in science, literature, and com merce, should continue to use (with but very slight changes in the forms of the letters, ) the mode of writing which they have handed down to us. Our usual method of communication, by its com plexity, obliges the readiest hand to spend at least six hours in writing what can be spoken in one. Why should we not attempt to simplify our written characters, and make them correspond, in some degree, to the simplicity of spoken sounds? The method of writing here presented, after having been subjected to the ordeal of several years' practice, by thousands of persons, has proved itself to be free from the cumbrousness complained of; and, while it can be written with uency and ease, it may be read after any length of time with rapidity and accuracy: it is a system of exhibiting speech on paper, by signs closely resembling, in sim plicity, the sounds they represent.
