SHORTHAND ALPHABETS.

EXPLANATION OF THE PLATE.

In the series of alphabets appended the signs in every case possible have been carefully traced from the treatises on the several systems. In a few instances it has been necessary to depend upon the histories of Lewis and Pitman, published in 1816 and 1847, respectively. The former work makes no account of the signs for ch, sh, and th, but it is probable that these were represented in nearly all methods.

The series is not always arranged in the chronological order of the earliest work of each author, but represents the signs as modified in later and more widely known editions. Where characters are reversed or altered in the middle or end of words the second sign is given in bracket.

The diacritical marks employed in representing the phonetic systems are those used by Webster. No mark is provided by him for the brief or New England sound of o in whole, as used in the systems of Burnz and Jones. (See Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, principles of pronunciation, § 20.)

[blocks in formation]

ch, as in child; g, as in get; th, as in thing; th, as in thine; zh, as in azure.
