"By this new method any, who can but tolerably write their names in round-hand, may with ease (by this book alone without any teacher) take down from the speaker's mouth, any sermon, speech, trial, play, &c., word by word, though they know nothing of Latin, and may likewise read one another's writing distinctly, be it ever so long after it is written. To perform these by any other short-hand method extant is utterly impossible; as is evident from the books themselves."
