Hardcover. Condition: Good. THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. Dutton Speedwords, transcribed in Speedwords as Dutton Motez,[1] is an international auxiliary language as well as an abbreviated writing system using the English alphabet for all the languages of the world. It was devised by Reginald J. G. Dutton (1886â?"1970) who initially ran a shorthand college promoting Dutton Shorthand (a geometric script), then offered a mail order (correspondence) self-education course in Speedwords while still supporting the Dutton Shorthand. The business was continued by his daughter Elizabeth after his death. This is a copy of the first edition of this Teach Yourself manual published in 1951. Also included is an enrollment card for the college. The hardback cover is a little worn and discoloured, particularly on the spine. The binding is tight. The pages are unmarked apart from age yellowing and pencil notes on one page.
