HISTORIC SKETCHES. 



184. ACCENT may be shown by writing a small crow close to 

 the vowel of the accented syllable ; thus, >T< arrows, '' arose , 

 /^ renew'. It is, however, more convenient to use Phouetic Long- 

 haiul when murking the accent of a word. 



i.Mi'ii \sis is marked as iu longhand, by drawing one, two, 

 or more-, lines underneath; a single lint: undi-r u single word must be 



ive-like, thus , to distinguish it from k. In (ire- 



paring manuscript lor the press, a single line thus drawn niu! 

 (wavy for a single word, and straight for more than one,) 

 italic; two lines (which need not be waved) SMALL CAPITALS, and 

 three lim-s LARGE CAPITALS. For ITALIC CAPITALS draw 

 three lines, and write " Italic " in the margin. 



186. AN INITIAL CAPITAL is marked by two short lines under 

 the word ; thus, . U- The Times newspaper, Js Abel. 



187. FIGURES are written as usual, or the words may be eipressed 

 in Phonography. When the figures one and aix arc written by 

 themselves, they should be formed thus, ./, ff, that they may not 

 be mistaken for shorthand characters. 



REPORTING. 



188. In the " Reporter's Companion " the reader will find further 

 principles of abbreviation that will enable him to attain the goal of 

 verbatim reporting. As it is almost impossible for rapid writers of Pho- 

 nography, when corresponding with others less advanced, to adhere 

 strictly to the Corresponding Style, as developed in this series of 

 Lessons, a list of the PRINCIPAL reporting grammalogues is given, 

 to assist in reading the Reporting Style. The figures demote the posi- 

 tions iu which the words are written. (See par. 139.)

HOW A LONDON JUEY GAVE A TRUE VEBDICT, ACCORD- 

 ING TO THE EVIDENCE. 



JUST as there are many great men in the world who nerer get 

 an opportunity of asserting themselves; in it, BO there are many 

 memorable events in history which are seldom if ever mentioned. 

 Some of these are important enough, not merely in a political bnt 

 also in a social sense, and it is well not to suffer them to languish 

 in the cold shade of oblivion. Such an event i* the subject of 

 the present sketch. It has been selected not only because of its 

 intrinsic importance, bnt also as showing how great privileges 

 may be won and rights established by very humble means. 



In the report books of proceedings in the law courts in 1670 



is an account of a scene in which the principal actors were
