Excerpt from Characterie: An Arte of Shorte, Swifte, and Secrete Writing by Character

In every detail I have followed the original, preserving the exact Spacing and pagination, as well as the quaint old-style spelling, using also an almost identical fount of letters specially obtained for the purpose, but substituting engraved characters for the rapidly fading pen and ink stenograms in the original, that mv fellow laborers in shorthandresearch may have the same facility of examining the work, as would be afforded by visiting and procuring admission as readers of the Bodleian Library at Oxford.
