IN

response to a

often expressed

by

users of

the

Shorthand Dictionary,

was decided to add to the words

contained their ordinary meanings, with occasional notes concerning their origins. It was, in fact, impossible to resist the argument that it is vastly more convenient to use one book of reference than to have to use two, and accordingly the task of making the dictionary complete and self-contained was attempted, and has, it is hoped, been accompUshed to the edification of those who may refer to it. In order to keep the volume within reasonable hmits, a great degree of economy had to be practised. Words have a tendency, the result of their handling sometimes by ordinary folk and sometimes by writers, to pass from their primary and obvious meanings to metaphorical senses. Only in a large and comprehensive dictionary would it be possible to follow every word into a variety of usages, and here this has been done sparingly; for, given one or two of its meanings, anyone meeting a word in a connection different from its natural setting would at once perceive that metaphor had been at work upon it, and be able to see how it had acquired this further meaning. It is very tempting klso to trace words to their earliest discoverable source, but again that process would result in extending the bulk as well as the scope of the present book. Its purpose is to furnish the writer of shorthand with a ready means of finding the common and regular signification of each word the shorthand outline of which he requires to learn. What such a student needs for his purpose is the immediate and obvious rather than the recondite. Into the making of an English Dictionary Dr. Johnson introduced a delightful feature, the illustration of the meanings and usages of words by means of literary passages in which they occur. In a particular context, and especially when placed there by one of the makers of literature, a word is invested with a new life and power, and it needs the quotation for the lexicographer adequately to convey the acquired meaning. To attempt this here was also out of the question, and the modest rdle assumed confines the /ambition of this Dictionary within the Umit of a desire to explain simply and usefully the words of the vocabulary. Subject, therefore, to these restrictions, the work is submitted to the pubUc of shorthand writers and students, in the hope and with the intention that it may be a real help to them.

INTRODUCTION.
of the present work is to furnish standard forms for of the EngUsh language, written in accordance with the rules of Pitman's Shorthand (Centenary Edition). Every writer of the system is aware that the use of the many regularized abbreviating devices which results in brief and facile outUnes being obtained for the

object THE the words

great majority of words without the help of any arbitrary abbreviation, also involves, in many instances, a choice between two or more possible forms, and the Shorthand Dictionary provides those outlines which experience has shown can be recommended for general adoption. Hence the importance and utility of the work as a book of reference for teachers, students, and practitioners.

A considerable number of words have been added, including some new words while, on the other hand, many words now obsolete have been excluded.
;

Every effort has been made to render the present edition of the Dictionary reliable and consistent in regard to pronunciation and the selection of the shorthand forms. There will, no doubt, be differences of opinion with regard to the outlines for certain words, since a form which is the most convenient to one writer is not invariably so to another writer. It is strongly recommended, however, that the closest possible adherence to Dictionary outlines be observed, since they have been decided upon as the result of experience and the most careful thought. No outline, therefore, should be rejected in favour of another until an attempt has been made to ascertain whether there is not some special reason for its adoption. It is obvious that uniformity of outline is especially helpful in the case of writers who have to read or transcribe each other's notes.

Changes as regards Pronunciation.

respect to pronunciation, this has been carefully checked throughout, A New English Dictionary, edited by Sir James A. H. Murray, LL.D., being taken as the authority in practically all cases, so far as that work is available.

;

u for 6 when occurring medially in unaccented syllables e.g., in custom, mason, I^ondon, monopoly, gallop. A long vowel tends to become short when it is unaccented, and in some words, such as proclaim, biograph, the vowels o and u are In others, however, e.g., flotation, practically indistinguishable. nobility, the vowel is unmistakably o although unaccented.
i.e.,

With respect

to other alterations in outlines,

many

have been considered with a view to their being treated uniformly so far as is practicable, and various changes have been necessary in order to bring the outlines of such words into harmony.

in

each class of words.

Derivative Words.

The derivation of words must be regarded as one of a number of considerations affecting the choice of outlines, but wliile in the outlines of many derivatives the outline of the primitive word, or some particular feature of it, is retained, there are, on the other hand, many cases in which derivatives are written in accordance with the ordinary rules and principles of the system, without regard to derivation e.g.,

Compound Words.

A number of classes of compound words have already been dealt with in connection with the various principles involved. With regard to cases in which the outlines of the primary words will not join con veniently, they are written disjoined if a better outline is not obtainable by altering one or both of them so as to admit of joining.

Proper Names.
In connection with these the pronunciation has -been checked from

Century Cyclopedia of Proper Names, the Standard Dictionary and other sources and a number of peculiarly pronounced and other names have been added. It should be remembered that proper names have frequently more than one accepted pronunciation. In some instances there is a local and also an " outside " pronunciation, and in the case of foreign names some have an anglicized pronunciation
the
;

while others are given a native pronunciation only.

From

the short-

hand point of view some proper names require special consideration, and the following observations will serve to indicate the practice which has been adopted in various groups of words
