This book is designed for students who have completed learning the theory of Pitman's New Era Shorthand and wish to revise and improve their knowledge. Each chapter consists of a review of a rule, with example outlines, followed by several shorthand passages, each with its own vocabulary list, which provide intensive practice on the rule. There is a list of grammalogues and contractions at the end. To enable dictation of the passages, students need to obtain the separate longhand book "A Student's Review of Pitman Shorthand Dictation Book, New Era Edition" or "A Student's Review Dictation Book and Key".
