Order Nr. 64045

Issued as Part IV., Shorthand Books with Biographical and Bibliographical Notes, in the series on Bibliotheca Pepysiana. But for Pepys' expert knowledge of shorthand, probably learned during his time at Cambridge, the diary as we know it could never have been written. A list of over twenty authors and their works on shorthand, with biographical and bibliographical notes. Jacket chipped and torn with small spots.
