•j. The Repetitions of c before o, u> being 
about 13, o ig 18, of k 3, and of q o, give 34, for 
the Repetition of the 7th Clafs. 
8. The Repetition of/, being 23, gives 23 for 
the Repetition of the 8th Clafs. 
By a little Reflexion it will appear, that the 
Marks applicable to thefe Claffes are in fome mea- 
jfure determin’d. For a right Line taking up lefs 
Time than a crooked Line in its Defcription, it is 
plain the four firft Clafl.es muft.be referred to the 
four right Lines; and the four circular Parts to 
the remaining four laft Claffes. 
But the right Lines are indifferent to all the firft 
four Claffes, and the circular Parts to the four laft 
Claffes, for the Reafon juft mentioned. So that fo 
much as relates to the fixing the particular right 
Line to reprefent the particular Clafs, is at the Li- 
berty of the Inventor of a Short-Hand, to ad juft 
agreeable to his own Fancy : And the fame is true 
of the circular Parts. Thus any one may per- 
ceive how far the Fancy of a Short-Hand Maker is 
properly bounded or at Liberty. 
I fhall take notice of one Ihortening Rule; which 
is that of increafing the Dimenfions of a Line, when 
the Letter muft be repeated fucceflively j as in Man , 
rare , and the like Cafes. This is a good Rule of 
Mr. Weft on.
