The writer's time redeemed, and speaker's words recalled, By a Pen shap'd both for oral Expedition, and the most legible Plainness and Punctuality: or Annet's short-hand perfected, Further enlarged and improved, in a Method strikingly easy, and engaging to the meanest Capacity. In two parts. Part I. Contains the Characters classed in their alphabetical and derivative Order, together with the Rules of their Application, as far as necessary for the Student, Letter-Writer, Merchant, &c. to take down their own Thoughts, or the copying any Book or Manuscript, in as punctual and legible a Manner as in common Writing; and upon Occasion, of sufficient Expedition for the taking down a Sermon, Trial at Law, &c. as delivered at the Pulpit, Bar, &c. Part II. Contains Rules and Examples, with a special View to the following of a Speaker. - Together with sufficient Copper-Plate Specimens to both Parts. This Short-Hand will be of great Service to those who have already learned Byrom as well as Annet. By Thomas Hervey, of Underbarrow, near Kendal. Author of the English Climax.
