Isaac Pitman

4 January 1813 - 22 January 1897

Sir Isaac Pitman was an English teacher who developed the most widely used system of shorthand, known now as Pitman shorthand. He first proposed this in Stenographic Soundhand in 1837. He was also the vice president of the Vegetarian Society. Pitman was knighted by Queen Victoria in 1894. - Wikipedia
