Synopsis
Excerpt from The Modern Stenographer: A Complete System of Light-Line Phonography, Being a Plain and Practical Method for Acquiring a Perfect, Knowledge of the Principles of the Best Phonetic Short-Hand
It may be well to state briefly some of the new and valuable features which have brought about important changes in the theory and practice of the art. There has been a tendency of late years among stenographers to simplify: to make a rule, when once laid down, as far as practically possible a universal rule, so general as to rid it of all exceptions which could without disad vantage be discarded. The benefit to be derived from this system of generalizing can not be too highly com mended. Every exception introduced into a phono graphic system causes a writer just so much embarrass ment. Long practice may enable him to rid himself to a certain extent of its disagreeable effects; but, un less there are great counterbalancing advantages arising from such exceptional feature, the character can never be written with the same rapidity as would result if the exception were not introduced.
