This book is the Centenary version of Pitman's Shorthand published in 1913. The Introduction describes some of the rules of outline choice, and is followed by an index of all the words used as examples. In the dictionary section, logograms (word signs) and contractions are shown in bold type. Outlines are not shown in relation to any dotted line, apart from those logograms and contractions that are written above or through the line. The rules of the system were revised in 1922 to produce the New Era version which is still current, and in 1975 the simplified Pitman 2000 was introduced to provide a choice for students. This book should therefore be used with caution by present-day students of Pitman's New Era and Pitman 2000, as many of the rules and outlines are different.
