Excerpt from The Art of Phonography: A Complete Instructor in the Best Method of Shorthand for All Kinds of Verbatim Work; With the Author's Latest Improvements By the revisions contained in this edition of The Art of Phonography no new phonographic signs or principles are introduced, the only change made being the simplification of the rule of position for phrases composed entirely of breve-signs. Heretofore the general rule that the first breve-word of such a phrase be written in its own position, has had certain exceptions which for a time were thought to be useful if not absolutely indispensable. It has been found, however, that we can get along just as well without those exceptions, so they have been abandoned, and the rule is now made universal that the first word of a phrase composed of breve-signs may be written in the position it would occupy when standing alone. This modification of the rule of phrase-position, like most other improvements that have been made by me in the phonographic system during the many years that my text-books have been 3 published, is altogether in the line of simplicity, and 5 will be welcomed by both teachers and students of phonography. The simplified rule may be found at paragraph 761, page 271. The Course of Twenty Lessons, which until now has been printed in a separate pamphlet, has been added at the end of the book.
