"Short-hand, on account of its great and general utility, merits a much higher rank amongst the arts and sciences than is commonly allotted to it.

"There is no such thing as a poet or a writer who at the moments of inspiration would not wish to write down on a paper his impressions and ideas but common writing due to its slowness stifles the imagination, the inspiration ceases, and he transfers to the paper just a faint outline of the thoughts inspiring him;...whilst shorthand can follow every idea, passion, feeling, and expression that is catching on every word and expression quickly." – M. I. Ivanin (1801-1874), an inventor of the first shorthand system in Russian.

January 10, 2025 - Someone on r/shorthand was looking for a better copy of the charts from Harding's Taylor manuals, so u/BerylPratt sent me high resolution scans of the charts from her physical copy. I enhanced them so the print was darker and more legible, then made them into a pdf, Harding High-Res Shorthand Charts, which I have now on the 'Taylor' page. The pdf is 233mbs, so the download may take some time. Because of the recent interest in Taylor's system, I've done some searching over the internet and have now increased the number of Taylor manuals available on the website as well as some by other authors who have created their own variations of the shorthand.
