Engraved from the SHORT-HAND Writing of several Scholars that have learned the Art, with their Names and Places of Adobe; an incontestable Proof that one may Read what another Writes with Ease:
BRACHYGRAPHY: OR, SHORT-WRITING Made easy to the meanest Capacity:
The Persons, Moods and Tenses, being comprized in such a Manner, that little more than the Knowledge of the Alphabet is required to the writing Hundreds of Sentences in less Time than spoken. The whole is founded on so just a Plan, that it is wrote with greater Expedition than any yet invented, and likewise may be read with the greatest Ease.
Improved (after upwards of Thirty-seven Years Practice and Experience)
By T. GURNEY, Writer of these Proceedings.
