The last of the prosecution's witnesses was the legal shorthand writer who had taken the official report of the trial of Birchill. In response to the request of Mr.
There's a code message I had ready a message to a friend even you can send it. And they'll be watching. I've got the basic plans in the book here." He slumped back. Gordon frowned, then found the book and pulled it out as gently as he could. It was a small black memo book, covered with pages of shorthand. The back was an address book, filled with names many crossed out.
He noted everything, from the saucy street waif to the sorrowful prison child, from the poor little drudge to the brutal schoolmaster, and he transplanted them from life to fiction, in such characters as Sam Weller, Little Dorrit, the Marchioness, Mr. Squeers, and a hundred others. While in the attorney's office, Dickens began to study shorthand, in order to become a reporter.
The alchemists employed many signs, or shorthand expressions, in place of writing the names of substances. The following are a few of the signs which were used frequently. I have tried to show that alchemy aimed at giving experimental proof of a certain theory of the whole system of nature, including humanity.
Unbroken perfection is over all! It was April 30th and Henry Rogers sat in his rooms after breakfast, listening to the rumble of the traffic down St. James's Street, and found the morning dull. A pile of letters lay unopened upon the table, waiting the arrival of the discriminating Mr. Minks with his shorthand note-book and his mild blue eyes.
This concurrence of favourable conditions becomes more and more frequent with the organisation of newspapers, of shorthand writers, and of depositories of documents. In the case of antiquity and the middle ages historical knowledge is limited to general facts by the scarcity of documents.

"There's shorthand, French, book-keeping, commercial geography, land measuring " "But I can't teach any of those things!" "Look here," said Blendershin, and paused. "Has your wife or you a private income?" "No," said Lewisham. "Well?" A pause of further moral descent, and a whack against an obstacle. "But they will find me out," said Lewisham. Blendershin smiled.
You wouldn't know what to do." "Yes, I should. I've arranged everything. I shall wear my best clothes. When I arrive at Liverpool Street I shall take a taxi. I've got three addresses of boarding-houses out of the Daily Telegraph, and they're all in Bloomsbury, W.C. I shall have lessons in shorthand and typewriting at Pitman's School, and then I shall get a situation. My name will be Vavasour."
Nor was the vision of the inspired Big Business that shall be, to be found in the books over which Una labored the flat, maroon-covered, dusty, commercial geography, the arid book of phrases and rules-of-the-thumb called "Fish's Commercial English," the manual of touch-typewriting, or the shorthand primer that, with its grotesque symbols and numbered exercises and yellow pages dog-eared by many owners, looked like an old-fashioned Arabic grammar headachily perused in some divinity-school library.
Savage asked me to take charge of the business department of the Summer Normal and teach shorthand and typewriting. I worked with him in this way for three summers, my vacation periods, with much success. We worked well together and in perfect harmony. At the opening of each school year at Tuskegee I would be among the first to get there to begin my studies.
