About this book
The Phonographic Railway Phrase Book is a specialised shorthand manual by Sir Isaac Pitman (1813-1897), the English educational reformer who invented the Pitman system of shorthand in 1837 and built it into the standard English-language stenographic system of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Pitman's Stenographic Sound-Hand and its successive editions taught the system to several generations of British and American clerks, journalists, and parliamentary reporters. This phrase book applies the Pitman system to the specialised vocabulary of railway work, providing shorthand outlines for the named stations, train types, freight categories, and administrative phrases that a railway clerk or telegraph operator would have used daily in the late Victorian period.
