About This Item
Cincinnati: Phonographic Institute, 1855. Benn moved to Cincinnati soon after arriving in the US in 1853 and worked diligently to spread his brother Isaac's system of shorthand through the states. His manuals on Pitman shorthand became the most important and most often reprinted text on the subject in the US. This is an early edition of the American manual, with backmatter that dates the book around 1855, the year of the first edition. The manual saw significant changes over each edition, as Benn Pitman fancied himself both a book designer and a tinkerer and redid both the lithographic title page and a notable portion of the text for each. Westly-Gibson p. 168.
