Simson Shorthand
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Simson Shorthand is a system of shorthand invented by James Simson, originally published in his 1881 book, Compend of Syllabic Shorthand: Being a Synopsis of the System, and in more detail in his 1885 book, Manual of Syllabic Shorthand.
The 1885 book describes the system on its title page as "A system of brief writing by syllabic characters, based on the common alphabet, and written according to the sounds of spoken language." The syllabic nature would make for a resemblance to Boyd's Syllabic Shorthand, but descriving it as "based on the common alphabet" would imply a resemblance to ABC systems such as Speedwriting.
