Engraved from the SHORT-HAND Writing of several Scholars that have learned the Art, with their Names and Places of Abode; an incontestable Proof that one may Read what another Writes with Ease:
BRACHYGRAPHY: ON 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 Pan, that it is wrote with greater Expedition than any yet invented, and likewise may be read w ith the greatest Ease.
Improved (after upwards of Thirty-seven Years Practice and Experience)
By T. GURNEY, Writer of these Proceedings.

As Mr. Macauley's extraordinary Liberality benowed on me. and my Method of Short-Hand at Lloyd's (at a Time when I was attending the Court at the Old Bailey) deserves a suitable Return, he may depend upon the same at a proper Time.
