CAUTION
It has come to our notice that several institutions
have, for their pupils: copied our hooks, notably
"The Dictations" and the "Abbreviations". This,
as can be readily understood, is dishonest and
disloyal and causes us a serious prejudice as it
reduces our sales. For the last 45 years we have
worked incessantly to perfect our system. Now
that we have attained that end it is only just and
fair that we should reap our reward. In future we
will prosecute all delinquents.
Every person who, without the consent of the author, translates,
copies or publishes in whole or in part any copy of this work is
guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall be punished accordingly.

INTRODUCTION
In presenting this treatise to our readers which is the crowning
success of our works, we have but one object : facilitate the task of the
stenographer and give to his pen lighter and faster wings.
Notwithstanding the fact that one can attain a great speed in
pulling into practice the rules of the Superior Course, we have created
these Fifteen Hundred Abbreviations to lessen the work in a still greater
degree than if the application of the rules and the use of prefixes and
suffixes alone were made.
We retain in a stenogram but the signs that are most necessary in
the reconstruction of words.
These abbreviations are faster than speech since in one, two or three
strokes of the pen they represent words, locutions of several syllables,
and even whole sentences.
Do we not, every day, use abbreviations in our ordinary writing
For instance : Co., J. C, Dr., Mrs, Mr , P.S., N.B., MS , MSS, Rev., St.,
Ave., viz. or i.e., . A.M., P.M., inst,, prox., ult., A.D., &c, &c.
It is impossible to analyse all the abbreviations contained in this
book, but the intelligent student will very easily reason them sinci they
are founded on principles of strict logic.
A few explanations will suffice :
In many instances the first syllable of a word accompanied by a
suffix reduces a long stenogram to 2 or 3 strokes of the pen :
administration, circumstance, constitutional, providential.
^ O K
Oftentimes we will find series of words deriving from a same radical :
just, justice, justly, justifiable, justiciable, justification
certain, certainly, certitude
nature, natural, naturalist, naturalism, naturalisation.
