Strana 11 - To be enabled to treasure up for future study the substance of lectures, sermons, &c., is an accomplishment attended with so many evident advantages that it stands in no need of recommendation. Nor is it a matter of small importance that, by this art, the youthful student is furnished with an easy means of making a number of valuable extracts in the moments of leisure, and of thus laying up a stock of knowledge for his future occasions. The pursuit of this art materially contributes to improve the...
Strana 11 - ... practice of stenography. The obligation the writer is under to retain in his mind the last sentence of the speaker, at the same time that he is carefully attending to the following one, must be highly beneficial to that faculty, which, more than any other, owes its improvement to exercise. And so much are the powers of retention strengthened and expanded by this exertion, that a practical stenographer will frequently recollect more without writing, than a person unacquainted with the art could...
Strana 10 - A practical acquaintance with this art is highly favourable to the improvement of the mind, invigorating all its faculties, and drawing forth all its resources. The close attention requisite in following the voice of...
Strana 12 - With so many vouchers of the truth of the remark, we can have no hesitation in stating it as our opinion, that since the invention of printing, no cause has contributed more to the diffusion of knowledge and the progress of refinement, we might also add, to the triumphs of liberty and the interests of religion, than the revival and improvement of this long-neglected art.
Strana 12 - ... advantages, Science and Religion are indebted to this inestimable art for the preservation of many valuable Lectures and Sermons, which would otherwise have been irrecoverably lost. Among the latter may be instanced those of Whitfield, whose astonishing powers could move even infidelity itself, and extort admiration from a Chesterfield and a Hume ; but whose name would have floated down the stream of time, had not short-hand rescued a portion of his labours from oblivion.
Strana 10 - ... in life, and is of such extensive utility to society, that it is justly a matter of surprise that it has not attracted a greater share of attention, and been more generally practised. With a view to excite a livelier interest in its progress, and to induce those who have leisure to engage with ardour in the study of it, we shall point out a few of the benefits resulting from it. In England, at least, this art may be considered a NATIONAL BLESSING, and thousands who look with the utmost indifference...
Strana 10 - Senate, or in those public assemblies where the people are frequently convened to exercise the birthright of Britons — we owe it to Shorthand. If new fervour be added to our devotion, and an additional stimulus be imparted to our exertions as Christians, by the eloquent appeals and encouraging statements made at the anniversaries of our various religious Societies — we owe it to Shorthand.
Strana 10 - Societies — we owe it to short-hand. If we have an opportunity, in interesting judicial cases, of examining the evidence, and learning the proceedings, with as much certainty, and nearly as much minuteness...
Strana 10 - ... afforded to their preservation by short-hand. Were the operations of those who are professionally engaged in exercising this art to be suspended but for a single week, a blank would be left in the political and judicial history of our country, an impulse would be wanting to the public mind, and the nation would be taught to feel and acknowledge the important purposes it answers in the great business of life.
Strana 12 - The advantages resulting from the exercise of this art, are not, as is the case with many others, confined to a particular class of society ; for though it may seem more immediately calculated for those whose business it is to record the eloquence of public men, and the proceedings of popular assemblies ; yet it offers its assistance...
