Beschreibung

First edition, 12mo, pp. 12; engraved title page and 9 engraved plates primarily of characters and stenographic alphabets, including 14 verses from the first chapter of John; original calf-backed marbled boards; scuffed and rubbed, but sound. One of the earliest works on the subject by an American. Mr. Dodge, of Providence, writes on p. 5: "Several systems of stenography have made their appearance within the last half century; the best of which that has heretofore been published is the European system by Taylor. This has been arranged and published on a chart entitled "Stenographic Synopsis" by Mr. Gold of Albany. The system, however, admits of much simplifying, and is in some measure the groundwork of the following pages." American Imprints 12388.
