OSGOODBY, THIRTY YEARS OFFICIAL STENOGRAPHER OF THE NEW YORK SUPREME COURT ; EX-PRESIDENT OF THE NEW YORK STATE STENOGRAPHERS' ASSOCIATION; FOREIGN ASSOCIATE OF THE LONDON SHORTHAND SOCIETY ; AUTHOR OF THE PHONETIC SHORTHAND MANUAL, THE PHOhETIC SHORTHAND WORD-BOOK, ETC. SECOND EDITION. ROCHESTER, N. Y.: THE OSGOODBY SCHOOL OF STENOGRAPHY. COPYRIGHT, 1890, BY WILLIAM W OSGOODBY ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. PRESS OF THE JOHN P. SMITH PRINTING HOUSE, ROCHESTER, N. Y. TO THE STUDENT. I. Fix a time in each day, if possible, when you will devote yourself entirely to this study, and allow nothing to prevent your study at the time fixed. II. Make up your mind to do honest, hard work. Do not IK- satisfied with doing anything less than your very best. There is no folly more foolish than trying to deceive oneself. III. Punctuate all your writing. No employer will keep a stenographer who docs not possess a fair knowledge of Spelling, Punctuation and the rules of Grammar. Now is the time to obtain that knowledge, if you have not already done so. IV. Do not slight any principle of the system. There is not a rule of the Manual that docs not require careful attention. V. Use good paper for practice, and use good ink and a pen just suited to your hand. You cannot do good work without good materials. Never write on unruled paper. VI. Where an angle is necessary, make it sharply and distinct- ly ; and be careful to make none where none is needed. VII. Learn the vowels thoroughly, and particularly the rules for using them, as given in Sec. 4 of the Manual. VIII. He careful to make the hooks on the proper side of the stem, or you may find that you have written a word you did not intend. Do not incline such stems ! ) ( x IX. The exercises in this book are intended to supplement those in the Manual not to supersede them. The latter are composed of single words, illustrative of the various rules of abbreviation, and each of them should be written until the practical application of the particular rule is understood. The speed exercise upon the same rule may then be used with profit. Practice upon these exer- cises should be begun as soon as Sec. ? is learned. TO THE STUDENT. X. The Phonetic Shorthand Compendium, which contains copious illustrations of the principles, and engraved lists of the Word-Signs and Contractions, should be carried in the pocket, and every spare moment utilized. XI. Read every exercise you write, and as often as you write it. Do >>t negltct this. It is as important that you become able to read readily as that you become able to write readily. Half the work of learning Shorthand consists in learning to read your own writing. XII. Do not attempt to write matter involving principles which you have not thoroughly learned. Confine your practice to the exercises, until you have finished them. XIII. Follow carefully the General Directions. The exercises are progressive in their character, each containing more or less matter which must necessarily be written according to rules given in those which precede it. XIV. Before writing an exercise in Phrasing, carefully read the rules and write all the illustrations that follow it, that you may have no difficulty in applying it in your practice. XV. After practice upon one of the exercises according to the General Directions, it may be used as a dictation exercise, but you should be careful not to sacrifice legibility to your desire to acquire speed. The outlines should be written with comparative delibera. tion, the pen touching the paper as lightly as possible, and the effort should be to save time by passing rapidly from one outline to another never by writing them in a careless or slovenly manner. XVI. You may test your proficiency, after practicing upon an exercise until its principle is well understood, by again writing preceding exercises and applying to them the later rule. XVII. A table containing the contractions of the system, and the proper forms for a large number of words in common use, will be found at page 53. This may be freely referred to in all your practice. ie citations of pages, sections and rules in this book, refer to Osgoodby's Phonetic Shorthand Manual. WORD-SIGNS.

A very convenient way of indicating stenographic forms, is by the use of Stenotypy, a method exhibited in the following rules and illustrations 1. The stems Chay, Ith, The, Ish, Zhe and Ing', which cannot oe repre- sented in the English language by single letters, are indicated in Stenotypy by the Roman letters Ch, Th, Dh, Sh, Zh, and Xg, respectively. All other stems, except upstrokes, ai-e indicated by Roman capitals. 2. The upstrokes Lay, Ray, and Shay, arc indicated by the Italic letters R, L and Sh, respectively. 3. Small Roman letters (except g and h, used as above stated) indicate attachments to stems, such as circles, loops and hooks, and the sounds ipmlied by the halving and lengthening- principles. 4. The ticks, which are named, from the stems they i-esemble, the P-tick, T-tick, etc., are indicated by small Italic letters corresponding with such stems. The semi-circles are indicated by the small Italic letters if and ;/, and prefixes and affixes are also shown by small Italics. 5. A hyphen shows that the stems between which it occurs should be written very near each other, but unconnected. 6. A dot (') indicates that the proper vowel should be inserted. 7. A cross (-{-) indicates that the stems should be intersected. 8. A superior figure indicates the position of the stem after which it i- placed. Where no figure is given, the word should be written in the second , position. ILLUSTRATIONS OF STENOTYPY.

RsV + DhXf EXERCISES FOR SPEED. General Directions. 1. The abbreviations for the word-signs at the beginning of each exercise should be thoroughly committed to memory and used in writing the exercise. They are indicated in stenotypy, and may also be found in the table of Word-signs. In the first six exercises, word- signs and letters written upward are printed in Italics. 2. Among the word-signs will be found several small ticks, as x / * ' , which should be made about one-fourth the length of an ordinary stem.. These are named, after the stems they resemble, the P-f fcfr, B-tick, T-titk, Cliay-tich, etc., and their forms and positions should be thoroughly learned. :(. Head the sections of the Manual, cited at the beginning of the exercise, before writing it. 4. Write each sentence five times, being careful to place each word in its proper position with reference to the line of writing, in accordance with the rule at 4, t>. After a sentence is written, read it over and correct all errors before writing it again. 5. After writing and correcting the whole exercise, as above directed, again write each sentence five times, but omit final vowels in all mono- syllables except proper names. Read each sentence, and correct as before, before rewriting it. Head your last writing of the exercise, until you can recognize each word without hesitation.
