Since the last edition of this little book, the Spencerian Quick Writing system has made enormous progress, not only with professional stenographers but with the general public.In the edition preceding the present, the author was content to state as simple facts the claims of the system.So stated, they appear to all writers of other systems extravagant enough!Yet there is nothing so hard as a fact.Whether in the material world or in the impalpable realm of the intellectual, facts are equally indestructible.Men and all their fallacies die, but their facts live on.It was never the intent of the inventor and developer of this system, laboring single-mindedly, with one great goal ahead of a life's ambition, to devise merely a new stenography, whose excellencies were to be entered in a race with those of all the other splendid systems born of the genius of man.His real aim, however, and whether or not he had attained it, he preferred at that time to state rather as detailed facts of an achievement.
