The complement of stenography, or, The power of the pen displayed in a new art of charactery : being a more speedier, swifter and compendious method of short-writing, then heretofore hath been by any other composed : so far from over-burdening memory, that it teaches the true art of memory in which all those inconveniences which are found in other methods to the discouragement of learners and rendring the reading of what according to them hath been written, difficult, are removed : and the true art of contraction or abreviation of sentences is taught, by which such as have learned any other methods of short-writing, may, without leaving their old characters, learn to write whole sentences, as short as now single words / invented and compiled after a view of all former methods, and many years study and practice by William Facy.
