"SWIFTHAND."
SIR E. CLARKE'S INVENTION. Not content with his laurels as an inventor of shorthand, Sir Edward Clarke, K.C., is engaged in formulating a system of swift longhand, by which he estimates that people will be able to write three time 3 quicker than by the ordinary method. Sir Edward Clarke informed, a representative of the Daily Mail that his new system would be known as "swifthand." The letters were, represented by simple strokes of varying length and relation to the line of writing. "I have felt," said Sir Edward, "that something was needed between shorthand, and ordinary writing. I have perfected my system by using it for some time. I hope it will be published at the end of the month, although the arranging of the copyright in America may cause a little delay."
