Short-hand yet shorter: or The art of short-writing advanced in a more swift, easy, regular and natural method than hitherto : Whereby the former difficulties in placing the vowels are removed; they, the dipthongs and consonants, further contracted; the particles, pronouns, degrees of comparison, persons, moods, tenses, contrarieties, repetitions, sentences negative and interrogatory, are shortned. The rules are plain, easy to be remembred and applied to any short-hand, that such as have learned other authors may have hence a very considerable help to write more swiftly without altering their foundation.
