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.
THEtheobject
words

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

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.

With

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.

The

principal changes, so far as vowel-sounds are concerned, consist

of the substitution of
(a)

ah for d in such words as bar, harm, embark.

There

are, of course,

many words

in

which the vowel a before

a short sound;

l^' tarry (verb).

ah in such words as tawnt, launch, saunter.

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.
(c)

e for a in such words as accurate, breakage, palace, chieftam,

whenever the former represents the true pronunciation.
Here again, the long vowel tends to become short when it is

Preference is also given in the New English Dictionary to the

pronunciation in in some further adjectives ending in -ine which were
previously vocalized with i, e.g., Florentine, although generally both
pronunciations are given. In most adjectives ending in -He, however,
preference is given to t, although in these also both pronunciations
are generally given.

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

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

Capitals are employed initially only where such is the ordinary
usage, as in the case of proper names and terms.
In botanical,
zoological, and similar scientific terms, the names of genera are
capitahzed; with species bearing the same name a capital would not,
of course, be used.
For example. Ranunculus, the genus; but
ranunculus, a plant of this genus.
