 This book, in the preparation of which the author has devoted 
 a considerable part of several years, has been prepared because 
 of frequent inquiries for a book of written phrases, from writers 
 of the system in all parts of the country. 
 
 It is based on the principles of the system as illustrated in the 
 text-book, and will be easily comprehended and mastered by an 
 earnest student. 
 
 The author hopes and believes it will not only quite fully meet 
 the want of all classes of writers of Cross's Eclectic Shorthand, 
 but will also prove an invaluable aid in acquiring a practical 
 speed in writing.

INTRODUCTORY. 
 
 Phrase writing consists in writing together in one outline the 
 signs of words which are commonly uttered continuously, so that 
 the writing may correspond to the natural utterance of them. 
 
 For facility in learning the natural phrases we have arranged 
 them under four classes. 
 
 Class I. This class comprises phrases of two short words, the 
 first of which is some common word, while the second word is 
 one of the following, viz.: a, an; the, he ; I; 0, to ; you. 
 
 In writing this class, the sign of the first word is written on 
 position to express the second, i. e., on the first position to add a or 
 an; on the second position to add the or he; on the third position to 
 add /; on the fourth position to add or to, and on the fifth to 
 add you. 
 
 The signs of common words which are written on the several 
 positions should be thoroughly memorized. The signs, except 
 for the words all, as, before, have, if, are their written outlines.

 INTRODUCTORY. 
 
 Class II. This class consists of phrases comprising three 
 words of which the first and third are the same, while the second 
 is a preposition or conjunction. 
 
 They are written by connecting the sign of the first and 
 third word, or by writing them side by side, the second word 
 being implied by the joining or close proximity of the first and 
 third. The most common of this class of phrases are as follows:

INTRODUCTORY. Vll 
 
 Class III. This class is much more extensive, consisting of 
 those phrases which comprise various common words. 
 
 In writing them the first word is regularly written and the 
 connected words are represented by the characters which would 
 be used to express them if written separately; as, in the phrase 
 can you come soon, the word can is written regularly and the y 
 attached for you, to which is attached sn for soon. 
 
 From many of this class, words may be entirely omitted, and 
 still the phrase be clear; as, for illustration, / am of the opinion 
 that, may be safely written, I am opinion that. ' As soon as possible, 
 may be written soon possible. 
 
 In this class all the alphabetic characters are used as signs for 
 several common words which they express when written position- 
 ally. So also are the several modified forms of the alphabetic 
 characters which arise from lengthening and enlarging, shortening 
 and making minute, and from shading. These modified characters 
 are used for the common words which they express when written 
 disconnectedly on the several positions. 
 
 Class IV. This is not a new class but a combination of two, 
 or all of the preceding; as, Do you think so; do you being of 
 the first class and think and so of the third class; are you sure ; 
 for the first time. 
 
 The following lists contain the common words represented by 
 the alphabetic characters. When disconnected they are to be 
 written positionally, but when connected they are pure signs. 
 
 The signs for the Class III phrases are found on the five pages 
 next following: 
 
 Following the pages of Class III phrase-word signs are three 
 pages of additional signs, which the learner will readily under- 
 stand and will appreciate. They are to be used separately as 
 well as in phrase writing. The signs of i on ch position for which, 
 and u on ch position for such are to be used only separately, not 
 in phrases. All the signs should be thoroughly familiarized.

INTRODUCTORY. 
 
 XV 
 
 The word would is sometimes suggested by d; as, It would be 
 "\ what would be C^ In the first phrase i written on / position 
 and shortened for^ to express it zvould (itdb] . In the last phrase, 
 the wh is enlarged to add d for would (whatdb. ) The words to be 
 are often represented by b. A circle r is often made minute for 
 the word will following it as, there will be " """---. The word 
 not when written positionally is always finished with the tick to 
 distinguish it from no, now, but when written as a phrase sign it is 
 represented by short n. 
 
 In addition to the foregoing signs, most of which are nearly 
 complete writings of the words which they represent, an upright 
 t is used for the terminals tal, tie, tile, tality, tility and the same 
 form shaded for tral, trality ; also an upright v is used for vilify. 
 The upright / may also be used initially to write the words tall, 
 tale, tell, till, tile, toll, and shaded for trail, trial, trill, troll; and also 
 be written across a preceding character for tality, tility, tuality. 
 
 Instead of lifting the pen to write many of the terminals, such 
 as diction, bation, cation, vation, etc., the terminal sign, if a long 
 character, is lengthened to suggest the final n, and, if a short 
 character, is, for the same purpose, made minute. As, What is 
 
 your vocation? 1 f 
 '^^^ 
 
 With great precision, ^^ /l - '. What a delusion, 
 
 Give us the solution, 
 In this direction, 
 
 Take the collection, 
 Make the correction, 
 
 In the condemnation, ( make n 
 
 Take the precaution, 
 minute for nation}. 
 
 To make any phrase or set of phrases of practical use the 
 learner should practice them until they seem to require little or 
 no thought either in writing or reading them. Daily practice of 
 this kind, even on but a few phrases, will soon increase one's 
 facility in rapid writing to an appreciable extent. 
 
 In studying the phrases and the signs, the student will notice 
 that the position of the first word is indicated by an italic letter 
 or letters.
