Synopsis

This book provides a practical understanding of the history and fundamental principles of Phonography: an innovative shorthand system developed by Isaac Pitman in the 19th Century. Originating from phonetic principles, the author demonstrates how even today, Phonography can be effectively implemented by teachers, professionals, and students alike. The author explores the many benefits of Phonography such as the significant reduction in time spent learning the writing and printing process, the ease with which it can be written and read (even by individuals who have never encountered Phonography before), and the relatively low cost of printing Phonographic texts. This book will prove valuable to educators, students, historians, and anyone with an interest in the history of writing systems.
