Stenography compleated , or the art of short-hand brought to perfection; being the most easy, exact, speedy, and legible method extant: whereby can be joined in every sentence, at least two, three, four, five, six, seven, or more words together in one, without taking off ye pen, in ye twinkling of an eye; and that by the signs of the English moods, tenses, persons, particles, &c never before invented. By this new method any, who can but tolerably write their names in round-hand, may with ease (by this book alone without any teacher) take down from ye speaker's mouth, any sermon speech, trial, play, &c. word by word, though they know nothing of Latin. And may likewise read one another's writing distinctly. be it ever so long after it is written: to perform these by any other short-hand method extant, is utterly impossible; as is evident from ye books themselves. The nature, use, and excellency hereof, are more fully contained in the preface. Compos'd by James Weston, the only author and professor of this new method.

Also, particular shortening and joining rules, fitted to the English tongue, for Joining in every-sentence Five, Six, or more Words together; without taking off the Pen in an Instant of Time Never before invented. Done according to all the Improvements, which the Author hath made since he published his Former Short Hand Grammar about Twenty Years ago: Which Improvements render this New Method a great deal more Easy, Speedy, and Legible, as is evident by Comparing the Large Specimen of the Writing in the Former Grammar with the Same Large Specimen, in this New Grammar. And yet these Improvements may be learn'd with Ease, in the space of Three or Four Days, by any who have learned the Former Method. This New Method is so Compleat, That any Gentleman, or Lady may Learn the Art perfectly by this Book alone, and Take down from a Moderate Speakers Mouth, any Speech, Lecture, Sermon, Trial, Play, &c. Word for Word, and also Read distinctly one anothers Writing. Authoriz'd by his Majesty, And Attested by many Gentlemen, at the Beginning hereof; compos'd by James Weston, the only Author of this New Method.
