This was in a library book, specifically “Blackie’s Standard Shilling Dictionary” with illustrations. The bookplate inside said “ex libris C.k. Ogden” and there were a few other hand written names scattered. there were multiple pages like this throughout the blanket pages of the book, this one seemed the most cohesive(?) so I chose this page. Can someone please help translate what it says? I think it’s either pitman or Gregg, but I’m not sure. I only just discovered the existence of shorthand today, thank you!
