First published in 1891, this book presents an innovative system for shorthand writing, developed by its author, William Henry Wagner. The system, known as 'Wagner Phonography', is based on a methodical analysis of the sounds of speech, and seeks to represent these sounds using a system of symbols. This book provides detailed instructions on the use of the system, along with exercises for self-instruction. A fascinating and valuable resource for students of shorthand and linguistics.
