Pitman's English and Shorthand Dictionary, Based on the Original Work of Sir Isaac Pitman: With Lists of Proper Names, Grammalogues and Contractions, ... of Shorthand Outlines
Excerpt from Pitman's English and Shorthand Dictionary, Based on the Original Work of Sir Isaac Pitman
It is very tempting also to trace words to their earliest dis coverable source, but again that process would result in extending the bulk as well as the scope of the present book. Its purpose is to furnish the writer of shorthand with a ready means of finding the common and regular signification of each word the shorthand outline of which he requires to learn. What such a student needs for his purpose is the immediate and obvious rather than the recondite.
