An epitome of stenographie; or, An abridgement and contraction, of the art of short, swift, and secret writing by characters, both fair, lineall, and legible, : as will appear hereafter, as well as in the prefixt example. Being a brief, yet plain and full discovery of all the grounds of the whole art: in its several examples, rules, wayes, formes. Methods and kindes of abreviation, and contraction of words, clauses, and sentences: by which, (without the help of any tutor, teacher or school-master) the weakest capacities may with ease and speed, attain unto the perfect knowledge and practice thereof, even in this present swift, short, succinct, abridged and contracted form. A work of very great use and advantage also, for the further perfecting of all those who have already for many yeares together practised this art, in the other severall forms of it.

Stenography compleated, or The art of short-hand brought to perfection; : being the most easy, exact, speedy, and legible method extant: whereby can be joined in every sentence, at least two, three, four, five, six, seven, or more words together in one, without taking off ye pen, in ye twinkling of an eye, and that by the signs of the English moods, tenses, persons, particles, &c never before invented. By this new method any, who can but tolerably write their names in roundhand may with ease (by this book alone without any teacher) take down from ye speaker's mouth any sermon, speech, trial, play, &c. word by word, though they know nothing of Latin. Any may likewise read one another's writing distinctly be it ever so long after it is written. To perform these by any other short-hand method extant, is utterly impossible. As it is evident from ye books themselves. The nature, use, and excellency hereof are more fully contained in the preface
