3rd Ed 1636). Shelton improved his shorthand system and published his most well known work “Tachygraphy” in 1638. It was republished in 1641 along with a primer, “A Tutor of Tachygraphy” (1642). Tachygraphy was popular with more than twenty editions between 1641 and 1710.

The alphabet signs were written all the same size, unlike the previous systems where the first alphabet sign was written large than the rest to indicate where the outline began. <br /> <br /> Tachygraphy contained improvements like excluding the E from the prefixes of em-, en-, es-, and ex-. It also contained about 300 symbols for common words and suffixes that a student had to learn by rote.<br /> <br /> <br /> <b style="color: blue;">Tachygraphy </b><span style="color: blue;"><b>Vowel Expression:</b></span><br /> Initial vowels were expressed by alphabet sign. Medial vowels were expressed by “Vowel Mode” using the following five positions based on spelling or best represented sound. Final vowels were expressed by dots in the Vowel Mode position.<br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyKMMzbln0fHALZc1c4bOUlYOICVHHppOQSMFxix8et9s-x0qAVin16yT7inMMKjVSrahCI9QMZs_JEzJUwNUfjyDJ_qvYXf1E47DwcH0pzf8yM-FDvcciLa1BPCAzHg4oCYBN0LD76FqX/s1600/Screen+Shot+2015-11-21+at+3.08.50+PM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="181" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyKMMzbln0fHALZc1c4bOUlYOICVHHppOQSMFxix8et9s-x0qAVin16yT7inMMKjVSrahCI9QMZs_JEzJUwNUfjyDJ_qvYXf1E47DwcH0pzf8yM-FDvcciLa1BPCAzHg4oCYBN0LD76FqX/s400/Screen+Shot+2015-11-21+at+3.08.50+PM.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> <br /> <b style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></b> <b style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></b> <b style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></b> <b style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></b> <b style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></b> <b style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></b> <b style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></b> <b style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></b> <b style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></b> <b style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></b> <b style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></b> <b style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></b> <b style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="color: blue;">Resources:</span></b><br /> <span style="background-color: #fff9ee; color: #222222; font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 15px;">1. </span><a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=DC48AAAAIAAJ&vq=shelton&pg=PA45">Dictionary of National Biography</a>. 2nd Edition (1909).
