1893 First Edition

I’ve also uploaded (to “Documents”) .pdf files of the 1931 reprint of the original 1893 “Gregg’s Shorthand:  A Light-Line Phonography for the Million“.  These files all start with “First”, beginning with “Cover”, “Autograph”, “Title Page”, “Preface”, then 2-page spreads starting with pp. 4-5, etc. 

Once again, lots of large files that I’ll probably only leave for a while.  Let me know if this kind of material is interesting and useful for you!

  1. This is really good stuff.  It made me realize that the 1902 version of the book was completely revolutionary, since it introduced many more abbreviating devices that were not in the original publication.  Thank you so much.

  2. As I said when I uploaded them, they were giant files (from the scanner we had at the time), so I just left them up for a while then took them out.    Sorry!   Alex

  3. I tried to send you a scan of the facsimile "Liverpool" booklet, in .rtf format . . . I think I got your e-mail address right, but if you didn't get the scan let me know . . . You can e-mail me off-list if you want.   Alex

  4. I have 26M of storage space available, if you send to me, maybe I can upload it to Documents until I need the space for something else.

  5. Sure, I can do that.  I have two files:  the 1888 Liverpool booklet is 9 MB, and the 1893 first American booklet is 12 MB.  Why don't you e-mail me your e-mail address off-list, and I'll send them two you in two separate messages.  I know some systems won't accept files that large, but generally it seems like they've successfully gone through.   Alex lamiller@centurytel.net
