Cogswell's Compendium of Phonography: Being a complete and Concise Exposition of the Principles of Verbatim Reporting as Practiced By the Best Reporters

1887 Revised and Enlarged Edition. "For Self-Instruction and For Use in Schools". From 'To The Student": "You have in this book the principles of verbatim reporting set forth as concisely as is consistent with a clear exposition of the subject. It is possible for any bright young man or woman having an hour or two of leisure every day to thoroughly master the art in a few weeks. By this we do not mean that you can become a verbatim reporter in a few weeks, but you can become fully acquainted with the principles by which a verbatim speed can be attained. After the principles are learned it would be desirable, if you intend to make phonography a profession, to attend some good training school for a few months, in order to perfect yourself in the details of the subject, and get up the necessary speed for practical work."
