The Amanuensis is a comprehensive guide to reading, writing, and dictation lessons, published in 1892 by Kimball and Duran. The book is designed to teach students the principles of Lindsley's Takigrafy, a shorthand system that was popular in the late 19th century. The lessons in the book are arranged in a series, with each lesson building on the previous one to help students develop their skills gradually. The book covers a range of topics, including letter writing, business correspondence, and legal documents. It also includes exercises and drills to help students practice their skills and improve their speed and accuracy. The Amanuensis is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning shorthand or improving their writing and dictation skills.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
