ORIGIN AND USE 
 
 OF THE 
 
 STENOGRAPHIC ALPHABET. 
 
 T, 
 
 HE characters made use of in short-hand, are divided into 
 five classes, and represented by a dot, or the properties of a right 
 line and circle, simple or combined. The 1st class is represent- 
 ed by a dot, or point, and includes the vowels, a, e, i, o, u, y. 
 The 2d class by right lines, and consists of the letters s, t, d, r, 
 f, or v» 3d Class by semi-circles, making k, or q, n, ch, and g, or j. 
 4th Class by circles and lines combined, making m, p, h, b, 1^ 
 and w. 5th Class, by quadrants and lines making x, y, sh,th, and 
 ions. These characters are used as arbitrary symbols represent- 
 ing words, or terminations of words ; or as mere lette s in spell- 
 ing all words not represented by them in their arbitrary capacity.

 The vowels will require no explanation. Make s, the right, 
 t, down, d, downward, r upward, f or v downward. Make k, 
 or q, and n, from left to right, ch, and g, or j, downward. The 
 4th class must commence with the circle. The line may start 
 from either part of circle, but always project in the same direc-

DIRECTIONS FOR SPELLING. 
 
 Ist. Spell according to the sound of words, without regard to 
 ortliogTuphy. 
 
 2(1. Use no vowels in spelli..*^, except when distiuctiy sound- 
 ed at the heginning or end of words. 
 
 3d. Tlirow out all silent letters. 
 
 4th. When two letters sound like one, use only one, as f, in- 
 stead of ph, or gh. 
 
 5th. Let k, or s, supply the place of c, and let s hard, be used 
 for z. 
 
 6th. h can be omitted in the middle of words, and often at the 
 beginning', by expressing* the following vowel, as in when, heaven, 
 highway^ &c. 
 
 7th. b, or w, may be omitted ycry often as in member, encumber, 
 answer, to-morrow, &c. 
 
 8th. Let ch, be supplied by k, or sh, except in the English 
 sound. 
 
 9th. Dipthongal sounds may be represented by single vowels. 
 
 10th. If two consonants of the same kind, come together in a 
 word, use only one ; but if a vowel intervene use boih. 
 
 ' !1 
 
 RULES FOR WRITING. 
 
 1st. Agreeable to the instructions for joining* characters, spel- 
 ling, &c. proceed to write with the Stenographic Alphabet. Nev- 
 er lift the pen in the middle of a word, (except in some com- 
 pound words,) or let two words join ; but giye each word its due 
 proportion of space. 
 
 2d. The common r, is to be used alone, and in words when no 
 other conbonant occurs ; in other places the scratch r. 
 
3d. Tlie clmracter y, is used when a consonant, in other places 
 
 a dot is used. 
 
 4th. Numbers may be vo^^mscnted by figiu-es, iisinj^ dots for 
 cyphers. (One aud ten maybe wriitoii in sliort-hand.) 
 
 bill. Some proper names had better be written in common 
 
 hand. 
 
 6th. For &c. use a circle thus, O : for viz. a square, thus | 
 
 INSTRUCTIONS for Abbrevialing and Punctuating. 
 
 1st. The 18 terminations represented by dots, dashes, &c. are 
 to be used as abbreviatious in addition to "those made in spelUiig. 
 
 2d. When the sense is clear, lon;j words may be represented 
 by their initials or a fVw of the mx3st prominent consonants. 
 
 3d. Many monosvllable^; u-ay be wholly onjitted. 
 
 4th. When a word or bcnl. nee is immediately repeated, draw 
 aline under it: ifasciitcuce should not be repeated till some- 
 thing intervene, write a word or two and use &c. 
 
 5th. The common marks for punctuation may be used in short- 
 ham! c?icept the colon and period, which are disiiuguishedby a 
 blank or space, and appears to be the only distinction necessary m 
 expeditious writing. 
 
 I. 
 
 Remarks The preceding instructions, if duly attended to, will in a short time 
 
 enable a person to take verbatim any discourse delivered in public. The learner 
 is advised not to be anxious about reading till he can write correctly, as that will 
 follow of course, when the characters become fan.iliar. To read, it will be neces- 
 sary to enumerate the letters composing each word, one by one, and pronounce them 
 together as near as possible, which will always give the word. The sense will al- 
 ways dt termine such words as are represented by arbitrary characters, and assist 
 the re der in supphingsuch letters and words as may be omitted in following a 
 qtack speaker.
